Remember when I said that nothing got better than sitting in your own living room and projecting your favorite movies which you watch from the comfort of your own recliner? I think I might have lied. Try doing all that stuff with the addition…
…wait for it…
…of your own SNOW CONE MACHINE!
Awwwwyeah, bitches. Not only is the theater open, so is the concession stand! I don’t know about you, but I find every movie goes better with crushed ice and high fructose corn syrup. We screened Sherlock Holmes for some friends of ours this weekend, and I think I downed like five of those bad boys. Which might segue nicely into my next point…
We got a Wii Fit Plus last night. It’s amazing, but my legs feel like they might fall off today. Strangely enough, the back feels pretty good. This thing is great! It’s got all the stuff a serious workout type (I don’t even know what you people are called) would want (I guess), and all kinds of strength building and balance exercises for the rest of us. It even has yoga!
My favorite parts so far are the things that trick me into exercising. I like the free running, which incidentally has nothing to do with parkour, and I am a natural born ski jumper. Fun fact: Throughout my life, I have always been horrible with a hula hoop. On the Wii? I’m phenomenal. Seriously…I’m knocking on 300 spins right now. I don’t know if that’s really all that impressive but I’ll definitely take it. Especially given my heightened level of physical decay.
CUE THE BULLET POINTS!
-Ben Rothetlelistbhluerger got suspended for six games today. Golly, between missing all those paydays and the sizable check (I would assume) he cut to make this go away, I just know Ben’s learned his lesson this time, right? Right? I suppose it could be worse…he could have had Leonard Little as his getaway driver.
-New trailers this week for the remake of A Nightmare On Elm Street. No. No no no no nonono no no nonononono. No.
-No.
-Since I just ripped off one of the only funny parts of the movie, I’ll tell you that I saw Cop Out this week. And it. Was. Bad. Not “What the fuck is this crap?” bad, but just not good. I’m not gonna do the cool thing and pile on Kevin Smith, though. I still like the guy, and I think he’s got plenty more in the tank (FINISH RED STATE!). Not every director hits a home run every time, and it’s no big deal. I think it just looks rough on Kev because this was the first thing he directed that the didn’t write, and maybe it needed to come off bigger. If I’m not mistaken, it is the highest grossing thing he’s done, so at least we know we’ll get to keep him around for a while. I think his new “hired gun” approach is the way to go. Maybe he just needs a little more time out of the View Askewniverse.
-Watched most of The Crazies this week as well. What the fuck? (See how I took the time to spell that out?) It looked okay, but my god! Why do producers keep thinking horror movie fans are stupid and don’t care about things like writing and acting? And also, since we’re remaking his entire catalog, WHY WON’T ANYONE GIVE GEORGE ROMERO A BUDGET?!? He’s still alive, you know! And working! And a very nice man in person, I must say! I guess I’m just tired of people cashing in on his stuff, but sort of ignoring him. (See also: Englund, Robert.)
-I finally took my first steps into the Doctor Who universe. I’m not sure, but I think I love it. Considering I’ve only seen one episode and a documentary, I’ll withhold judgment for the moment. I think there will probably be a completely Who-centric post coming up over the coming weeks anyway.
I think that’s all.
