Watched (part of) Watchmen
Hormonal today. I thought I'd offset it by watching a movie.
My first try was PS I Love You, which it turns out starts with a death, and features James Marsters trying to be a Serious Actor, and Hilary Swank trying to be Cute. Pass.
My second try was Watchmen. It was going swimmingly, until the rape scene. Pass.
After that I gave up and finally watched Under The Hood. I declined to buy the Watchmen dvd because the movie honestly didn't do anything for me), so this was my first time watching it. It was well done overall, and they did a good job with Hollis' sincerity, and Sally's too-mannered schmaltz. The best part is the vintage Seiko commercial. A++.
When I first saw Watchmen, I was struck by how obvious all of the soundtrack choices were. I stand by my distaste, but I have a new appreciation for the intensely 80s score. It sounds like they cribbed it off of those awful milquetoast-noir cop movies that were churned out by the dozen back then. And it's kind of awesome for that very reason. So bad it's bad, but deliciously, knowingly so. :D
Anyway, tell me something cool that's happened to you lately. Link to what's putting a smile on your face. I require lolcats, cupcakes and candy-coloured war-ponies (ie. cheering up).
