Define Fucked Up Movie
I have seen some fucked up movies, but few as fucked up as Inland Empire.
Comments are off for this postOn the TV
So, in about six hours I’ll be on Showtime’s TV version of This American Life. It feels kind of surreal, during the filming that was exactly my life, but so much has changed since… it’s a little weird to watch the episode. I’m in such a state of flux, it’s odd seeing that me, frozen at that point in time. I like to think I’m changing for the better. I think I am, at least, I’m trying.

Comments are off for this postI miss talking in the dark. I miss closing my eyes and just saying any small thing on my mind, her head on my shoulder. I miss whispering to her in the dark, softly telling her I love her, that I’m happy she’s lying next to me. Everything I say is said under the soft glow of a 17″ MacBook Pro, all in text, sometimes in a mechanical British accent. I can’t change it, this is the rest of my life. For the most part, I’m used to this new me, but not always… Not in the dark, holding her and wanting to say things the way I used to say them.
Geek Summer
So, I’m looking forward to a bunch of geektastic movies this summer. There are just so many, and I really hope that at least a few won’t suck. I’m almost certain the X-Files sequal will be awesome, because, well, Mulder and Scully rule at everything. Dark Knight should be great, I just hope they cut back on the “shaky camera” during fight sequences. I mean, Christian Bale’s not unskilled, a fact that could have been used better in Batman Begins. I loved Hellboy, Guillermo del Toro totally knows his stuff, so I’m pretty sure Hellboy II will rock.
I really hope Ed Norton’s Incredible Hulk doesn’t suck. The cast is solid, I just hope they tell a good story without going crazy. Aside from The Italian Job, Edward Norton hasn’t done a bad movie.
I’m not sure why Indiana Jones is coming back. Harrison Ford is like, 80 by now. Is Indy going to have to save time for regular meals so he can take his medications?
I love Robert Downey Jr. and all, but I just don’t know about Iron Man. I just… don’t… know…
