Hi! Just letting you all know I'm not dead. I just haven't been out to the library much, and when I'm here I can't seem to get my brain into entry-writing gear.
Couple of comments on movies that I've been saving for when I had the motivation to type them:
Watched Beyond Re-Animator shortly after the bike accident. Was highly entertained. It really had very little to do with the first two movies, but that's okay because I have this theory where each of the three flicks took place in its own little universe. I think I actually liked it bestdon't hurt me, but can no longer remember why. I've also concluded that I think it makes sense for Dan to have "turned state's evidence," because it seems to me that the only way for him to sever Herbert's obvious stranglehold on him would have been to do something quite drastic. Also remember my parallel universes theory - we're not dealing with quite the same Dan as we saw in either of the first two movies, so how could he be out of character? I may or may not be slightly tongue-in-cheek here., so there you are.
Then this weekend, I had an inadvertent movie marathon. I didn't mean to. I just kept finishing one movie and putting in the next. I watched Secondhand Lions, which was v. good and also has Christian Kane (whee!); Intolerable Cruelty, which wasn't as much fun the second time as it was the first, because I knew what was coming and so had time to ponder the impossible plot holes (although I also got to be amused by little background things like the soap doctor dramatically explaining how difficult it is to operate without actual nerves in one's hands); a French film called The Closet (Le Placard), which made me feel cultured because I had actually heard of no less than three of the actors in it before (okay, so one of them was Gerard Depardieu, but still); and then I finished it off with My Tutor. Which I rented for Crispin. It was one of his first movies. And - oh god. Have you ever watched one of those movies that wasn't merely bad in a bad way, but bad in a soul-scouringly painful way, a way that makes you feel like you're less of a person for having watched it? Yeah, it was one of those. It wasn't worth it. Crispin had a shirtless scene. AND IT STILL WASN'T WORTH IT. AND THIS IS ME SAYING THIS. YES, I'M SHOUTING.
And now I have to stop shouting because I'm being kicked off. I wasn't done yet, either, I wanted to make fun of Keanu in Something's Gotta Give. Oh well.
