Movies! :)

"Fantastic Four" - Went and saw this on Friday night, and I loved it! :) Now granted, I'm not a comic book person. The only comics I've ever really read have been Sandman and Preacher... both of which I read in graphic novel format, long after their initial publication. :) But I really liked the movie, for all of my lack of knowledge about the Fantastic Four. Made me want to play Marvel again, even if that system does suck. :)

"Stories of Lost Souls" - After the movie on Friday, Seth and I ultimately went to Wal-Mart, where we shopped a bunch. :) On perusing the $5.50 movie bin, I found this... gem... thing... whatever. It looked good in principle - six little short bits, each of which featured an actor or actress that I like a lot. So what could be bad about that? One, with a title like that, I wanted horror. Instead, I got weird British... crap. Two, did I mention weird British crap? Yeah, that pretty much covers it. So slightly disappointing, but a lot of staring at the screen and going "huh?" I tried to explain it to people at game on Saturday as "it's kinda like Four Rooms, except it doesn't all take place in the same hotel, and it sucks, and basically it's nothing like Four Rooms." :)

"Troy" - Saw this in the theater last year, but J hadn't seen it, and I bought it on Friday as well. Glad I waited to buy it, as it was $20 when it came out, and I got it for $10. :) Despite really messing with the story of the Iliad, it's good stuff. And remember, kids, jumpy-stabby is the best combo move ever. Kills your enemies dead. :)

In other news, I had "Under Pressure" stuck in my head this morning, despite the fact that I don't remember it coming up on the playlist last night. It just played on my LaunchCast, though, so it's okay. Speaking of the playlist last night, it went for about 10 songs on the 80s playlist playing only one song that wasn't a cover. Whee! :)
