productive schmevil is productive
Jul. 6th, 2009 01:59 amRather than spend my afternoon doing something productive, I kept busy posting scans, playing UFC Undisputed, (btw, how is it that Shogun Rua manages to be so hot in game form? unf), and drinking James Ready. We're thinking about making something out of the bottle caps, after the next 2-4.
Also, I was terribly disappointed by the lack of a new True Blood ep on HBO Canada.
The BFF, middle brother and I watched Blindness instead. It's a poor substitute for True Blood, but not an entirely poor movie. As you know, I'm a sucker for apocalyptic scenarios, and Blindness has one, in the form of a mysterious plague that strikes people, well, blind. Julianne Moore is the sighted woman in the land of the blind. This movie is... ok. Take out strange moments of purple narration by Danny Glover and it would be better. It starts out with very some flat, naturalistic performances. Combine that with showy, visuals, lens flares, and symbolism, and you've got an oddly off-putting movie experience. It does get better, and by the time the apocalyptic meltdown is in full swing, you're fully invested in the misadventures of the plague victims. (I should note that it contains a rape scene - my very manly man of a brother found it disturbing. So, yeah. Keep that in mind).
