Life Stuff..... Movies

Last month we saw four movies. (Thank you, Daddy!) Fourth of July weekend, we saw Hancock and Wanted. Like one wild roller coaster, both movies were SOOO fun but over WAAAY too quickly. For a week after, Mom and I kept saying we wanted to see Wanted again. And I made Josh find me a couple of the songs from the soundtrack as soon as possible.

A couple weeks later, we went to see Journey to the Center of the Earth and the Dark Knight. Journey I thought was just gonna be this silly little family fun movie...but it turned out to be better than expected and over far too soon! :P What's with film makers these days, cramming two hours worth of stuff into an hour and a half or less.

Dark Knight.... I loved that movie! I'm dying to see it again! After one week, I thought "oh the feeling will pass". But it never did... How many weeks since we saw it? I still would jump at the chance to see it. It's funny, even Mom keeps saying she wants to see it again. Said so just tonight too.

Favorite quote in that movie: "Madness is a lot like gravity. All you need is a little push."

Heath's performance as the Joker was scary good. It only makes his death even more sad. Jack was good as the Joker... But Heath's Joker made Jack's Jocker look sane. I'm still bummed Batman said no to finding out where the Joker got his scars... I sooo wanted to hear another version of the tale. :P

I want to go see more movies... I get the funny feeling after we move we won't be going to the movies very much. I don't know why... Maybe an overall feeling of doom and gloom associated with moving. :P

Who's going to see the new Star Wars movie? I kinda think I'll watch it IF it comes on TV.... Half the cast of voices or more will be replaced with nobodies... Tossing in that unknown alien chick seems silly... I mean yeah..learning more about the Clone Wars would be interesting. Those prequel movies went by too quickly and weren't fleshed out properly. Like Lucas was in a rush to make those movies. Shame. The original three were such fun and awesome movies even today....

There's supposed to be another Trek movie coming out. I guess chronologically it falls before the original series began. So, yay, another boring series/movie about how Trek lore got started. I don't know why they're bothering... Enterprise (the show) KILLED the franchise. I mean they so gave up that they packed up and auctioned off much of the models and collectables that they kept for filming purposes. While Enterprise had an interesting premise... The execution sucked. I can't see the film of the beginning of Kirk's crew fairing any better.

We borrowed a bunch of movies (thanks Dad) one weekend because Mom was DYING to see something. I dunno, she saw a commercial for one of a series and suddenly had the urge to watch the whole series of them. So we get dressed... Drive over... and pick up a BUNCH of movies. Wanna know how many we watched? She and I saw one... I watched another one on my own. I'm so tired of waiting for her to get in the "mood" to watch one movie or another. Same goes for any movie I may have taped for "her".... I'm done waiting... Before we move, I'm watching all of Dad's movies we borrowed and anything I may have taped that I'm waiting for her "mood" to come around.

Eeeps... When I started this, it was only gonna be a short blurb! Honest! :P I babble more later at night I think... Anywho... Enough babble.. Think I'll go mimi now... well after I tidy the kitchen.
