No Way Out

Kevin Costner, Gene Hackman (1987) The secretary of Defense forces a Pentagon naval aide to lead a manhunt for a Soviet spy during a murder cover-up.

Finally a movie that portrays the Pentagon in a realistic fashion. Or at least the parts that they show are very similar to the parts that I've seen. Quite possibly actually filmed in the Pentagon. Back before 2001, I imagine that DOD was more likely to grant access to that five-sided monstrosity. Seriously. I hate that freaking building.

And Kevin Costner's jaw is as long and pointy as Kurt Russell's is large and awesome...

And I must say that I'm not too fond of the Navy white uniform. Just looks ridiculous. Especially the shoes...

And Costner just slid down the center of a set of Metro escalators. You know that part that has all those circular bumps and stuff? That must have been quite painful. But he's Kevin Costner, so who really cares... And now he just drank some random other person's coffee.

And SecDef Hackman seems to have quite the impressive Beer Stein collection in his office... Pretty sure that's what you want to see in the office of the head of DOD.

And apparently some fat guy thinks that Kevin Costner is average in every way. But he's so dreamy... or something... actually, he sort of bothers me...

And you'd think that the Pentagon would have some sort of security to prevent random people from hiding in the ventilation ducts...

And also: You can apparently shoot people in the Pentagon without anyone noticing. Tip for life, I guess... Not that I'm advocating shooting anyone in any secure government facilities. Or really anyone, anywhere for that matter.

Another tip for life: If you cut Kevin Costner's arm with a straight razor, he'll kick you square in the jibblies. Keep that in mind...

Also, in the 80s, shooting yourself in the head did not create that big of a mess.

OK, this movie is completely illogical. The SecDef and his assistant randomly tried to set up Costner up as a Russian Spy, just to take the heat off of SecDef Hackman for actually killing the woman that I've not actually mentioned in this review yet... And then it turned out that he actually was a Russian spy.

The moral of this story comes in 2 parts: First, don't watch this movie. Second, Kevin Costner is a Russian spy.

Dark Blue

Kurt Russell, Brendan Gleeson (2002) A rookie policeman objects when his hard-edged partner conspires with his mentor to pin murders on two ex-convicts. Based on a story by James Ellroy.

Assistant Chief Ving Rhames tries to oust corrupt cop Kurt Russel during the 1992 LA Riots.

Corrupt cop Kurt Russel gets a new partner (Captain WavyHair), who's not into his corrupt ways. Then Captain WavyHair gets hisself gatted, which incites Kurt Russel to go on the un-corrupt path.

Also, Ving Rhames looks funny with glasses. And Brendan Gleeson has some gigantically enormous ears. And I mean huge!

That's some poor planning there, Kurt Russel. Probably want to keep the shotgun loaded if you're going to shoot some bad guys. That way you don't have to use your spare shells from the side-saddle to load it. So, now you've only got 2 shells once you shoot everything you've got loaded, rather than 5... Well played...

Although you are rocking the S&W M10, Mr. Russell. Hard to complain when you're rocking the modern-ish equivalent of the Indiana Jones pistol.

Quite a good scene at the end where Kurt Russell admits everything that he's done and implicates his even corrupter boss.

All in all, not a bad movie... And I do likes me some Kurt Russell. And his gigantic lower jaw.

I am feeling surly

Yup. That's about it. Don't really know why. Just feeling surly.

Zulu

Stanley Baker, Jack Hawkins (1964) A missionary and his daughter watch African warriors attack a small British fort in 1879.

Introducing Michael Caine? Damn, that's old...

Figure this movie's famous enough, I should give it a watch...

Sadly for my intrepid blog readers, I really have nothing to say about this movie. No snarky wise-ass comments. Frankly this is a pretty good movie. I guess back in the 60s they actually relied on plot and well-written characters to make movies, rather than just having shit blow up and relying on fancy special effects.

Into The Blue

Paul Walker, Jessica Alba (2005) Four divers cross paths with drug smugglers whose cargo plane has crashed near the site of underwater treasure.

Jessica Alba has a nice ass... Seems this movie's purpose is to keep her as scantily clad as possible. Can't say that I'm complaining...

The first half of the movie has copious scantily clad Jessica Alba. The second half, not so much.

Also, as much as it pains me to have some discussion that doesn't include Jessica Alba, looking at high speed boat propellers from under water is pretty nifty... Well, not so much the propellers, but the water behind the propellers...

And some guy just concealed a harpoon gun in a fish. And shot some other guy with it... I guess what the tail end of this movie lacks in Jessica Alba near-nekkidness, it makes up for in ridiculous action sequences... And some other clown just got harpooned in the face.

And one thing I really despise about movies is when someone gets their balls maligned in some sort of way (Jessica Alba just crushed some guy's balls) they use a sound that brings the crunching of bone to mind. Its really disconcerting. If and when I become a foley artist, I'm gonna have to change that... That shit's gotta go...

Hellhounds

Scott Elrod, James A. Woods (2009) A Greek warrior travels to the underworld to rescue the woman that he loves.

Syfy Sunday movie from 7/19. I don't know if they officially call it "Syfy Saturday" and "Syfy Sunday" movies, but that's what I'm going to be calling the movies that air on Saturday and Sunday at 9PM from here on out. Just FYI...

48 minutes in and we finally saw a Hellhound. Or at least some sort of dog. It seemed particularly angry and potentially hell-ish.

Wait. Prometheus stole water from Mount Olympus? Yeah, not so much... Pretty sure that was fire.

Apparently, I'm a huge nerd, because it really bothers me that they're randomly defining their own mythology, which is ever so tenuously based on the original Greek myths...

And currently, I'm giving more thought to my need to poo than this stupid movie. Because its terrible...


Well. That was crap. So much so that I was getting bored of browsing random internet stuff, and yet still didn't feel compelled to watch the movie.

2009 Hungarian Grand Prix

All sorts of wackiness...

Alonso's wheel flew off in the middle of a racing lap. Vettel's suspension broke, taking the blog favorite out of the race. A strong showing for Ferrari and McLaren, after languishing at the back. First win of the season for reigning World Champion Lewis Hamilton.

And during qualifying, a piece flew off of Rubens Barichello's car flew off, and eventually hitting Ferrari's Felipe Massa in the helmet, which resulted in Massa crashing heavily into the barriers. Hopefully he makes a full recovery. Luckily, there's a 4 week break until the next Grand Prix, so Massa should have a good amount of time to recover.

The Randy (de Puniet) Report Returns Some More

The good Mr. de Puniet managed to finish the British Grand Prix in 3rd place. For refence, reigning world champion Valentino Rossi finished in 5th (after falling down due to weather). De Puniet was as high as 2nd, but got passed in the last lap by American Colin Edwards.

And de Puniet used the word "shit" in the post-race interview thing for the podium finishers..

2009 German motorcycle Grand Prix

I have to say, the racing in MotoGP is a lot better than in F1. Fantastic last few laps between reigning World Champion Valentino Rossi and his teammate Jorge Lorenzo (which is apparently pronounced "Whore-hey", or as Valentino pronounces it "Yor-Gay").

And a pretty impressive crash by Blog favorite Randy de Puniet. (See previous post)

The Randy (de Puniet) Report Returns!

Just so you know, Randy de Puniet's racing leathers are black and white.

Check out at about 51 seconds in on this video.

Need I say more?

Also, I was at the shop looking at some riding gear, I was talking to the rep for Rev'it gear. He asked if I followed MotoGP. I responded that I did a little bit. He then asked if I knew who Randy de Puniet was. Chuckling, I responded that I did, and my brother and I joked about how he's sort of my favorite, and we were wondering why the rep would bring it up. He informed us that de Puniet wore Rev'it gear, and although he had some number of crashes (he gave the exact number, but I've since forgotten what that number is, but I think it was quite impressively high) in the races, practices, and qualifying sessions, he'd never had a suit failure. I guess that this was potentially the only good thing about sponsoring Randy de Puniet.

The Octagon

Chuck Norris, Karen Carlson (1980) A rich woman needs a retired martial-arts champion to protect her from ninja assassins.

Chuck Norris. Ninja Assassins. 1980. What's not to like? Perhaps the fact that Chuck is rocking just the mustache, and not the iconic full beard... and the fact that he can't act. And the fact that we are exposed to his echoing internal monologues.

Note to self: If getting trained as ninja, don't stand on trap doors. Also, get awesome haircut.

Seriously, though, Chuck. Stop with the internal monologues. Especially the echoing-ness of them. Giving me a freaking headache.

Also, Lee Van Cleef with an earring? Weeeeerd.

The primary lesson this movie has taught me is that ninjas really, really hate Honeydew melons.

And apparently in this movie, even if you are being garroted, you can scream. I thought the whole point of garroting was to be silent. Because it crushed your windpipe or whatever...

Oh! That poor guy's spine. I'm relatively sure he wasn't supposed to get ninja stars in it...

OK, sorry Chuck. I've had all I can take for now. Maybe tomorrow we might have better luck. But not right now...

Wild Hogs

Tim Allen, John Travolta (2007) Looking for adventure, frustrated suburbanites hit the open road and encounter rough-and-tumble bikers.

You don't ever want to see John Travolta do some sort of weird pelvic thrusting dance. Trust me.

Also, Tim Allen and Travolta don't wear helmets. Because they're dumbasses...

"Hey guys. This is poop. Don't eat it."

Seem the William H. Macy character is going to be the ridiculous comic relief type.

Also: Ape Hangers = ridiculous. As are those trike things.

Also: Tim Allen and John Travolta have not aged well. They have saggy man-boobs. I'd highly recommend against seeing either of them shirtless.

It would appear that the entire point of this movie is to make the viewer despise John Travolta even more. If that's possible.

Seriously? What the hell was I thinking when I recorded this movie? Because its terrible. And there's really no chance of it not being terrible. And to think that I decided to stop watching Eureka for this? What came over me?

And of the 4 main characters, 2 just got attacked by a bull. One of them wasn't John Travolta. I was sad.

"The music moves me. But it moves me ugly."

And they're definitely advertising the shit out of Sons of Anarchy during this movie. Which I guess makes sense. In that they're similar. In that they both involve motorcycles. Oh wait. That's the only similarity...

But now there's a big brawl. And John Travolta's getting his ass beat... So, it seems that this movie has that going for it.

Also, I have to pee. But I guess on the plus side, that means I'm hydrated...

More Eureka

Watching the episode of Eureka where Carter gets turned invisible.

And Zoe is playing a game of chess vs. her absurdly afroed boy-friend-type-guy. And she took her own pawn. Excuse me. Prawn, with her bishop.

Update

Not wearing pants; watching Eureka.

Not too bad a way to spend my Friday afternoon

A long lost friend...

Remember, back in the day, the way this blog started?

Before there was bad SciFi; before there were strong urges to pee; before there was Eureka, there was:

Carrots!

Yup, finally back to the carrots.

Dropped by my parents' place after work, and had dinner. And they had carrots. Of which I ate some.

Carrots were good. Had one sort of bitter one, but on the whole, they were good.

Just thought you should know...

Poop a Taboo?

So, no one's gonna comment on the blog post about pooping? Is that some sort of taboo? Because, tough, because I'm likely gonna be talking about it a lot... Or at least, when I get around to it...

Twitter?

Probably a good thing I don't have a Twitter account... I think that if I were to get one, my Twitterings. Tweetitudes. Twitterocities. Twitterblatherings. Eh whatever the hell those things are called... Anyways, my messages would probably consist solely of the follwing 3 messages:

"Pooing"
"Peeing"
"Not wearing pants"

On second thought...

Actually, it'd only be worth it if I had the capability to update no matter where I was...

Eureka once again

Watching the episode about the crazy weather, while it rains prodigiously outside.

You might recognize Dr. Zelenka from Stargate Atlantis as the almost blind weather scientist in this one. Sadly lacking the awesome Czech accent.

And apparently in the Eureka universe is visible. Must make life a bit interesting...

Further FYI

I also have to wee. Quite badly.

FYI!

I had a wonderful poo today. Just thought you should know.

Eureka (again?)

Yes. Again.

Now on Season 2. Forgot how good the end of the first season was.

Also, I miss Stark in the latest season. Re-watching the first seasons reminds me of how good a character he was. A very good foil for Carter.

I want M&Ms. Just sayin'...

Eureka some more

I'm rewatching my DVDs of Eureka. So, I'll probably be blogging a good amount about that...

I think at some point I'm gonna have to try to pull off the cargo shorts/untucked dress shirt/sport coat/tie look, that Taggart wears at the end of "Primal", at some point.

Also, the "Play All" function on TV DVDs is fantastic. Don't have to keep selecting new episodes...

And the Pizza guy in the "H.O.U.S.E. Rules" episode is from Pizza Pi. As in the greek letter pi. Its awesome.

And now I'm going to bed, and I'll start again tomorrow.

Eureka

Copied from Colin Ferguson's IMDB page: "Is the reigning Canadian "Duck, duck, goose" West coast regional's champion after taking the title from Kaj-Erik Eriksen."

Apparently such a thing exists, or someone is playing a rather elaborate prank (Its mentioned on Eriksen's page as well). Either way, I'm highly amused.

In case you were wondering, Colin Ferguson plays Sheriff Jack Carter on Eureka.

Sand Serpents

Jason Gedrick, Michelle Asante (2009) U.S. soldiers encounter giant, man-eating serpents while fighting the Taliban in Afghanistan.

SciFi Saturday (Or Whatever its now called) movie from 7/11.

Let the Dune references begin!

If only I'd reviewed this first thing in the morning or after a nap or something. That way I could say "The Sleeper has Awoken!" and have it actually be apt. Instead, I'm just gonna have to interject it at random times, and it will be a needless reference to David Lynch's film version of Dune from 1984 or so. Hot damn, I'm awesome. It was in fact 1984. The Sleeper has Awoken!

OK, so now its a phrase that denotes triumph. Interesting. Lets see how many other ways I can use it in this review to mean something different. And now, I'm actually going to watch the movie, rather than typing a whole lot while watching the DVR menu. The Sleeper has Awoken! (I'm not sure if that's just because that phrase is how I'm going to end paragraphs from now on, or if it just means "Onwards!". In any case, The Sleeper has Awoken!

Oh, good. They're trying to be all artistic with the first shot starting all out of focuse and stuff, and then some folks gradually come into focus. And the second shot is the exact same style. This could get really annoying. Also, it seems that this movie is "Syfy presents", rather than "The Sci Fi Channel Presents". FYI. Or in this case "The Sleeper Has Awoken!".

Also, the soldiers are wearing the old desert camo, with woodland camo gear. No indication of what service they are. I'm guessing Army, as I think I may have just glimpsed an "Airborne" tab. Oh, OK. They're engineers. By which I mean, the US Army Corps of Engineers Maybe that tab I saw was an "Engineer" tab, and not airborne. Oh, never mind. Just one of them seems to be an engineer. And some of the, are wearing desert camo gear. Their tactical gear is covering up the place on their BDUs where their service would be noted. But from their discussions, it seems that they are actually Army Reservists. The Sleeper Has Awoken!

Also, it seems I'm being rather inconsistent. Sometimes I capitalize "has", and other times I don't. The Sleeper Has Awoken!

Also, the SAW gunner is doing a whole lot less shooting than just the regular riflemen. And the tab did in fact say "Airborne".

OK, enough of that. I might be more enthusiastic with carrying that joke well beyond the point where it were funny if I'd actually gotten around to copying it, rather than having to type it out fully every time. Also, their BDUs say "U.S. Army". I have no idea if Army reserves have a Reserve-specific tape for their BDUs.

Also, apparently terrorists with mini-cams have no idea how to shoot action. Alot of shaking and not actually showing us what was going on. So, thanks to him, we have yet to see the Shai-Hulud.

And now we've actually seen the Shai-Hulud. And true to Shai-Hulud form, they are attracted vibrations and sound. No one's thought to make a "thumper" yet to distract the dastardly Sand Worms. Perhaps none of them read or saw anything from the Dune series.

Also, it seems that the Army Reserves has a much laxer standard for facial hair than the regular Army. In that almost everyone is rocking some sort of facial hair.

Also, some guy just caught a grenade that the bad guys threw, and thew it back at them. Luckily, everyone was just as incredulous that he just did that...

I was really hoping that someone would fall asleep or pass out or something in this movie. That way, when the came to, I'd be able to use my favorite line...

Dangit. It never happened.

Still, actually not that bad a movie. I'm a little bit impressed that it didn't suck.

THE SLEEPER HAS AWOKEN!

The Skeleton Key

Kate Hudson, Gena Rowlands (2005) A woman takes a job as a hospice nurse for a couple who live in a New Orleans house with a troublesome history.

Not sure if they have a name for it now that they've changed over to being Syfy, rather than the SciFi channel, but this movie aired on Sunday 7/12 at 9:00 PM. Used to be the time when they aired SciFi original movies and stuff. Similar to SciFi Saturday (which also may have been renamed), but less Saturday, and more Sunday.

Also, Kate Hudson sleeping in her underwear at 25 minutes in. Just to keep track of that sort of thing like I planned...

This movie has Peter Sarsgaard in it. Who is a completely different person from Stellan Skarsgård. And also significantly less awesome. And significantly less Swedish.

And if nothing else, this movie has taught me that "hoodoo" is completely different from "voodoo". And that "hoodoo" exists.

Actually not too terrible. And it has an ending that is in no way happy. Seems to be a common thing on this blog lately.

Invasion

A 2005 TV Series about an alien invasion going on in Florida, starring William Fichtner. SyFy just aired the first few episodes. We'll see if they air the rest of the series, or if I have to find more nefarious means of seeing the rest of the series.

It was one of those SciFi series that only lasted one season before getting cancelled. Similar to Firefly, Surface, Kings (although, that one wasn't SciFi).

Seems like a sort of interesting concept and execution... Hopefully they show the rest of the series.

Shanghai Knights

Jackie Chan, Owen Wilson (2003) With help from his sister and a friend, a martial-arts master travels to London to find his father's murderer.

Its a Jackie Chan movie, so its got all the requisite ridiculous fight scenes. And its an Owen Wilson, so its got all the requisite ridiculousness between the fight scenes...

Similar to the buddy-cop movies in the Rush Hour series. Except Owen Wilson is significantly less annoying than Chris Tucker.

Delightfully random. Worth a watch. Perhaps I'll have to watch Shanghai Noon (the previous movie) if it ever shows up on TV...

And now for an experiment

Did that work?

Excellent....

Awesome Mustache

Diabetus Man has an awesome mustache.

Intriguing

Yes, very intriguing...

Just thought I'd share.

I am slightly less good at pooping than I was before

New Climbing magazine came yesterday. I'd finished the previous one about a week back... T'was a harrowing experience.

Sophie's Choice

Finally got around to seeing this one. I already knew the premise and all that jazz...

That was all sorts of proper fucked up. And that's all that really can or needs to be said about that.

Red Dwarf

I'm going to have to incorporate "Prawn" into my Chess vocabulary, as "Horsey" is already a part of it.

"And the moral of the story is: Appreciate what you've got, because, basically, I'm fantastic."

In the Spider's Web

Lance Henriksen, Jane Perry (2007) Deadly arachnids terrorize a group of friends in the jungle.

Didn't really pay attention through much of the movie, as it was rather crap, but the ending was interesting. Instead of having the main characters best the critters in some way, they just escaped, and did nothing to kill the multiple spiders.

So, not really anything that could be construed as anywhere close to a happy ending.

Contact

Long movie. Sort of ambiguous. I kind of like that about it... I've heard a lot of bad things about it. Was kinda slow, but all in all, not too bad...

Also, the guy who named the "Very Large Array" in New Mexico is genius...

At the end Jodie Foster, or Helen Hunt, or whichever one of them two is in this movie, said that they were building 40-some new dishes there. I wonder if that would precipitate a name change.

Who knows. Or cares.

Targeted Advertising?

Right after I posted the last post on the German Grand Prix, the ad was for some F1 racing game.

That, coupled with that advertisement for Warehouse 13 that I noticed earlier, means that I'm now relatively certain that these ads are targeted based on what I blog about.

2009 German Grand Prix

Things looked rather grim for blog favorite Sebastian Vettel at the beginning of the race, as he was in 4th place on the grid, behind teammate Mark Webber (on the pole for the first time in his career), and both Brawns.

Fast forward to the end of the race, which resulted in Webber getting the first win of his 130 race career, with Vettel coming in second. The Brawns ended up in 5th and 6th.

In terms of the season, Brawn's Jenson Button still leads the championship with 68 points. Barichello, formerly in 2nd place, has now been relegated to 4th place, in part due to his poor showing at the Nurburgring, and also due to the pace of the Red Bulls. Vettel now has 47 points, and Webber has 45.5. 8 Grands Prix remain for Vettel to make up a deficit of 21 points. Here's hoping.

And it seems that the Brawns did not heed my constant exhortations to run into each other, and take each other out of the race...

Eureka!

Eureka finally returns for the first time with a new episode since September. Finishing out the last 10 episodes of the 3rd season.

Hopefully it gets renewed, and the 4th season doesn't have quite as long a pause before it is aired.

Sadly, you get no commentary about this episode, as I'm too busy actually watching it...

Warehouse 13

New TV show on Syfy.

Seems like it could be rather delightfully random.

Stars the guy who played the filmmaker Emmet Bregman on Stargate SG1 (Heroes Pt 1 and 2).

I enjoyed the first episode. I'll keep you updated.

No More SciFi Channel!

Its called Syfy now, in case you didn't know.

The Amityville Horror

James Brolin, Margot Kidder (1979) A couple battle a demonic presence in their new home, the location of many gruesome murders a year earlier.

I watched the remake a while ago, and now I'm watching the original.

I don't really know why I was expecting it to be different, but all in all, its pretty the same. Basically, if you've seen one, you've seen them both.

Eureka!

Eureka's back tonight!

And apparently, since I typed that first sentence very quickly, I made some strange typos. So much so that the first suggestion by the spell-checker was tongue.

Mutant Chronicles (Finale)

Thomas Jane spent the remainder of the movie being angry and punching and shooting things for little apparent reason.

And then Ron Perlman came back as a mutant in very heavy makeup. So, was anyone actually surprised that Ron Perlman showed up in this movie in heavy prosthetics? It does seem to be his thing.

Also, the Mutant machine thing was also a spaceship apparently. So they launched it into space.

Also, tomorrow's SciFi Saturday movie is called Sand Serpents. We'll see how many Dune references I can make while watching it.

Good Week for Swiss Athletes

Roger Federer won Wimbledon and Fabian Cancellara has held the Yellow Jersey in the Tour de France for all the stages thus far (through stage 6).

Not too shabby for Switzerland.

Today's Learnings

What I learned during this episode of Kings that I'm watching now:

Macaulay Culkin has some really strange lips.

Also, apparently "Culkin" is misspelled according to my spellchecker, but "Macaulay" isn't...

The Return of an Old Stand-by

I really have to pee.

Mutant Chronicles

Thomas Jane, Ron Perlman (2008) In the 28th century a soldier and a priest lead a platoon deep underground to destroy a machine that is churning out hundreds of blood mutans.

Sci-Fi Saturday movie efrom 6/27.

Oh man. Ron Perlman doing to opening monologue. If you've ever played the Fallout series, you'll know I was immediately intrigued when I heard his voice... Especially, because he's talking about a post-apocalyptic future. I hope this movie doesn't ruin this opening. But its got the Punisher and Ron Perlman/Hellboy/whatever in it. Well, its actually the previous version of the Punisher.

On that note, did anyone actually see the new Punisher movie? Any good? I'll probably have to get around to seeing it at some point... Seems like the sort of movie that'd be good to watch, assuming that you're not actually looking for plot, and istead just a lot of shooting and stuff.

OK, in addition to having Ron Perlman, this movie seems to have a sort of futuristic look at World War I. Trench warfare, gigantic artillery pieces, funny helmets... The works. I rather like the aesthetic as a whole, but I'm not a fan of the individual rifles and pistols. They're sorta... lumpy, maybe? Got all sorts of extra bits on them. Not as clean and sleek as the weapons of the WWI period. I guess they tried to go that way trying to make it futuristic.

It seems Thomas Jane is the "soldier" from the description. Sort of jaded, angry, sort of soldier.

Seems the side we're supposed to root for is the Western European/American faction. They're fighting the Eastern European/North African/Asian faction.

Aww... and the Sergeant/Corporal/whatever with the awesome accent just got shotgunned. Looks like he's no longer gonna be with us... that's a darn shame...

And now both factions are apparently getting slaughtered by mutants. Makes sense, due to the name of the movie and all.

Hopefully it stops raining at some point. It'd be nice to see exactly what's going on, and to be able to tell who's who.

And now we've been introduced to Mr. Perlman playing his role as the "priest" from the description.

Hmmm... Apparently John Malkovich has a cameo in this movie. Quite the star-studded cast...

Also, muzzle-flash strobe effect as the only illumination for a scene. Kinda cool, but still not as good as Equilibrium. They did it first. And better.

I'm honestly quite surprised by the quality of this movie. Its not high cinema or whatever, but its actually not crap. And with that, I've got to go to the store to buy some food. We'll see if I post this when I get back, or get back to watching... You'll know shortly. As in, within the next line. Or actually 2 lines, because I put 2 spaces between paragraphs.

Have I mentioned that Ron Perlman's character has some sort of Irish or Scottish accent. Its kinda strange... Although it is also sort of intermittent.

But now its time for a pause... I'll watch the end later.

Loud Music

I've forgotten how much I like music that's a bit too loud.

In other news, the new Dream Theater album is pretty awesome.

FlirtyGirl Fitness Pole

Whatdafuck?

Godzilla

For a "monster" movie or whatever, this sure does have a very small amount of destroy-age, and a really large amount of Godzilla wandering about.

Also, how did using a MLRS as a direct-fire weapon ever seem like a good idea. Think of the Flatiron Buildings...

By the way, the shooting, and exploding has now started. And I'm beginning to wonder if this is a Michael Bay movie.

Also, Jean Reno is awesome. Another Ronin alumnus... He is quite humorous when quoting the King. Or is it The King. Eh, whatever... He is on the very short list of people who are awesome, despite being French. Right now, I think it's a list of one.

Also it would appear that the Army in this movie hasn't heard of the term "Collateral Damage". You have no idea ho hard it was for me to type "Collateral Damage" rather than "Collateral Effects". I've typed the latter phrase so many times in the past 3 years, its not even funny.

Also, I want a baby Godzilla as a steed. Cause that would be sweet!

Pie For Dinner Song!

Just in case you were wondering, the "Pie for Dinner" song is to the tune of "Ride of the Valkyrie" by Richard Wagner.
