kjpepperMuch like the closing theme of poly meetup last night was dead hookers/puppies, the theme for tonight is apparently scabies, as sydneycat, morlock and I horrified the waitress at the Ground Round with them and then beatgoddess randomly brought them up as well. Yikes.
Syd and I have claimed Wednesday evening for Moviedom. Tonight's feature was White Noise. What a big circle jerk that movie was! Fabulously creepy trailers, but the movie took forever to get off the ground and once it did it was just dumb. I mean, Michael Keaton watches tape after tape of static to glean some nugget of meaning out of his wife's postmortem communique, and then the movie ends, rather abruptly, with a serial killer and a torture victim in an old warehouse (which they totally bit from that lobotomy with ice pick episode of the X-files) and oh yeah, michael keaton gets torn apart by three shadowy figures that look a lot like the studio bit the CG for the Gollum character in LOTR, copied and pasted it three times and tried to cover that fact up by making them all staticky and covered in clearly photoshopped in black smudges. Lame. This movie was supposed to be scary! I was supposed to be peeing myself with fear! Alas, this movie did not inspire that special OMGNOW! feeling in the bladder. More like a firm upward jerk of tummy.
Still way better than Valentine. And Wendigo.
bed soon...
