If you ever want to be glad you live in this day and age just watch the history channel. Earlier I saw a Modern Marvels on medical equipment. They showed the first chainsaw, that was fashioned by a German... horror movies aren't as scary as the idea of coming underneath that sucker.
Speaking of medical horror (see aren't I clever?) Repo Men is out today. It's a pretty disturbing concept, but not one that seems impossible. I always feel with these types of movies that I'd rather see what it's like for a normal person's life in the world. It's always a narrative of someone of consequence.
Wouldn't it be interesting if the story was about some working Joe who just happens to live in a time when all this goes on? Perhaps make it a romance with little of the organs business. Maybe you could show one of the chase scenes briefly crossing his path. I'd consider writing something like it myself, but I've already done a dozen stories from the perspective of the side characters.
Still, I think it'd be a cool movie.
So I wrote that review of Sunkist oranges the other day and now I have Sunkist Growers following me on twitter. See? I told you they were the best orange.
Well, that's about it for me. Just a reminder though that Reputation@Stake will be doing a post tomorrow continuing the ongoing battle. Have a great weekend peoples.
I think Repo men looks like a good movie but still on the fence about it.
ReplyDeleteKing of California sounds like a good movie I never heard of.
I saw "king of California." It's a good movie and Michael Douglas is great in it!
ReplyDeleteI can't even consider the movie with SJP.
ReplyDeleteThat's pretty cool. You should write about the ipad next. Maybe they'll toss one your way. Can't believed you watched the Morgans. You truly are a fan of all types of cinema and for that I applaud u.
ReplyDeleteDon't applaud too hard, all the video stores in my area are gone. It's either drive 20 minutes for a video or three minutes to the Redbox, which is slim pickin's. Laziness usually wins out.
ReplyDeleteKing of California was awesome! Can't you get Netflix to send you DVD's in the mail?
ReplyDeleteAsBlack, I live in apartment where the mail is delivered to the front office to be dispersed. As I've had several magazines go "missing" I haven't been willing to try it.
ReplyDeleteGeof, Awesomeness. Glad to see someone else who isn't enamored of Kristen Stewart.
I enjoy that Repo Men is such a nod to the current economic climate but I still can't make my self give it the benefit of doubt.
ReplyDeleteYou should watch (if you haven't already) 'Girls just want to have fun.'
ReplyDeleteIt stars your favorite Sarah Jessica Parker.
It is awesomely bad.
