SQUIRREL!

You should go see Up.

Moo-vays

Some thoughts.

Wolverine was okay. Not great, but not awful. I guess I'm uber-sensitive about my merry mutants. And I probably had my Wolvie fix with his first 3 movies (Or, the X-men trilogy...). It's just... how do you stick Cyke in there? There was no point in having Emma Frost in there (If you saw the trailer then you know exactly what her role consists of). And Gambit? Man. What a way to try and cram all this stuff--all these characters--into a movie. Story be damned.

Terminator actually looks pretty sick. I feel I'm sort of drawn to that post-apocalyptic thing, whether it's Age of Apocalypse or Logan's Run or Matrix or I Am Legend (I'll stick with Matheson, you can have Will Smith) or whatever. I would like to see it. I wonder if John Connor will be surprised when he meets a Terminator for the first time. He probably shouldn't be.

Up is probably going to be another Pixar smash. Considering the only Pixar movie I didn't really get into was Cars, I should see this.

Last but not least, I should actually go see Star Trek. Those are words I never thought I'd string together before, but damn it looks pretty awesome.

Haven't seen Watchmen yet, so I'm not sure that I'll actually get to any of these. And an $11.50 price tag stings. But we shall see...

Poop.

I don't know what's more humorous. The fact that someone took the time to make this or the fact that I know so many people who would probably go see it.

Oh yeah!

I'm pretty much anti-Hallmark holidays unless they involve a party (read: a fun time with family or friends) or unique fundraising opportunity (rock on Relay bake sales). And on top of that, this particular one has never been on the top of my list, thank you very much adolescent rejection.

But I feel this is appropriate for today:

"Hearts will never be practical until they can be made unbreakable."
-The Wizard of Oz

Of course, we're a special lot, aren't we? Which is why the Tin Woodsman's response is apropos:

"But I still want one."

Gotta love the classics! Rock it, kids.

Why so serious?

I think The Dark Knight is one of the best movies I've seen in a while. I had the pleasure of seeing it again last night in iMax with a couple friends who hadn't experienced it like that.

Totally amazing. Plus I was like a little kid going into the theater. I think that amused them. But it's important to portray the little kid vibe sometimes. Who wants to be some stuffy old person anyway?

The first time the Joker growls those words "Why so serious?" gives me chills still.

Next movie to look forward to: Watchmen. Also coming out in IMAX. Very good indeed.
