Spider Pig, Spider Pig...

Okay I'm in a REALLY goofy mood today lol No idea why. I'm at work and dad and I have been singing "spider pig, spider pig, does whatever a spider pig does" from the Simpsons trailer lol Don't ask me why, it's just stuck in our heads... and we got it stuck in mom's head. So there's the explanation for the title lol

Going to give my opinion on some movies real quick.

Firstly, I LOVE Die Hard movies. So insanely ungirly of me I know. But I love them. And I love the knew one. Probably helped that I'm so nerdy and the computer crap I found really cool lol But I did like it. And you know, he like blew stuff up which is always appealing to the male side of my brain that loves that kind of thing. I thought it was really fun. If you're expecting a different movie, you'll be disappointed, it's typical Die Hard. Go see it with the expectation of some cheesy jokes and things exploding.

Second, I got dragged (somewhat literally) to see Transformers. Oh... my... god... That movie sucked. It had zero intelligence, I zoned out halfway through it. The script was painful to listen to. Okay okay, it started out okay. And then... it just got worse, and worse, and worse. I completely understand why all the people in the theater were 16-17 yr old boys. And that's actually an insult to a lot of teenage boys. The humor was gross, the script sucked and I was left sitting there wonder what in god's name got into Speilberg's head when he decided to make this movie. Complete trash. Probably fine for younger teenage boys but honestly can't see anyone else wasting money on it. Still stunned it's made as much as it has already.

Third, again, I'm a nerd. I went and saw Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix. And I LOVED it. I haven't been a big fan of movies. Actually, take that back, I really really didn't like the first two, the third was alright and the fourth was actually fun. But this one, I actually want to go see it again. The special effects were SO good in this one. The acting has gotten better on the parts of Daniel Radcliffe (Harry Potter) and Emma Watson (Hermione Granger). Who I didn't think were all that great since the first time I saw them. BUT Watson has continually gotten better, and Radcliffe finally seems to be coming into his own. If you gave up on the movies, I don't blame you, but do check out the last two, especially this one. This one is NOT for little kids!!! Of course, if you've read the books, you know better than to take your younger kids to this one. It's PG-13 for a REASON! PAY ATTENTION TO THE RATINGS FOLKS! Getting really tired of people not getting that this story matures with the character's aging.

Oh and I watched The Science of Sleep. It was so disappointing! I loved Eternal Sunshine of a Spotless Mind, but this was just dull. The animation was fun, but the story was really lacking. It just seemed like it was chasing its' tail and the ending just fell into a dark hole never to be seen again. No conclusion to the story, no real character development, it was as if they got so caught up in whether or not something would look cool they forgot to write a story. I was really disappointed in it. Didn't live up to Eternal Sunshine at all.

OHHHH!!! How could I forget! We went to go see Ratatouille and it was wonderful! So much fun, really good to take the whole family to. I honestly think it's the best they've done since Toy Story. It was funny and cute and the characters were really well thought out. I left the theater just smiling. It was adorable.

Movies I'm looking forward to seeing, The Simpsons Movie (hehe I know I knooow), The Bourne Ultimatum, Stardust, and The Invasion (looks good but we shall see). That's all I can think of for the moment, everything else is pretty much a wait and see what the reviews say thing lol I'm very movie minded today and I have no idea why.

Anywho, I've rented Flags of Our Fathers and Assault on Precinct 13 so if I really have a strong opinion about them I'll post it.

Ciao for the time being!

ok, I enjoyed Transformers. I thought it was entertaining. Definitely not a lot of depth and some disgusting humor, but the special effects were cool. Also I grew up in the era of that cartoon, so it was fun for me.

And I'm totally looking forward to the Bourne Ultimatum (Matt Damon, *sigh*).

"Spider pig, spider pig, does whatever a spider pig does. Can he swing, from a web? No he can't, he's a pig. Look out... he's a spider pig..."

I can't wait to see that movie. Haha

I'm such a dud. The recent spate of movie offerings have not enticed me a bit. It's been so long since I got excited about a film opening.
I might have to check out that "Transformers" one.

I'm a big movie fan myself...but I think we have different taste. (I DID want to see the "Science of Sleep" though...so thanks for the heads up).
