movies, and a music request
weekends on LJ are depressing - there's hardly anyone around. my email inbox is empty:(
but the good news is that our storms seem to have gone. however, we're now in the middle of a heatwave - yesterday it was nearly 90 with high humidity, and today it's already 80 degrees out at 10:30 a.m.
the weekend's been busy so far. we went swimming after work Friday, then watched Zack and Mirri Make a Porno . The concept was a great one, and I thought the porn filming scenes were hilarious (especially Star Whores), but overall I was disappointed. But I think it's because I'm not a big fan of Kevin Smith movies in general. I liked Clerks when it came out years ago, but I hated Chasing Amy and haven't been able to watch any of Smith's other films. I don't think Zack and Mirri was a terrible film, and some scenes and characters (especially Lester) had me laughing out loud. And don't get me wrong - I can cuss up a storm when I want to, and I'm not shocked by hearing the word fuck in the movies. but does it really need to be in every line of dialogue? It's a bit too much. as was the (literal) bathroom humor. Also, for me there was too much focus on the Zack and Mirri falling in "love" - I think a love story is great, but they didn't even finish the stupid porno because they loved each other too much. a greater story would have been if they actually finished the porno and realized that it didn't affect their love for each other... or something like that.
Yesterday to beat the heat, we went to the movie theater to see Terminator: Salvation and we loved it! Christian Bale was awesome as John Connor, and I loved seeing Chekhov (aka Anton Yelchin) as Kyle Reese. Sam Worthington was really hot too! They totally left that open for more sequels too. But if Christian Bale continues to play John Connor, I'll be there to see them all!
Now we want to go and see Johnny Depp play John Dillinger in Public Enemies .
I can't wait to see Johnny and Christian Bale together (Christian will play FBI chief and original Untouchable Melvin Purvis). That movies starts 4th of July weekend!
before I go, I have a request. I need some new music to listen to... so what are you all listening to now? please give me suggestions, I'm open for anything (except rap and country - sorry!)
now I've gotta go and call my dad and wish him a happy father's day. he just got home from the nursing home on Thursday and he's doing really good!
