Napoleon Dynamite (2004): unbelievably funny! funniest movie of the year so far. i couldn't even believe it. i went to a 2 o'clock showing, and the theater was packed! normally i'm not the biggest fan of comedies, or seeing a movie on the advice of friends (this is the first movie ever i've seen because someone suggested i see it), or anything having to do with Mtv (except Mtv2 of course). so many things impressed me about this movie. it ended on i think the most perfect song for the movie. most movies fail to even get close with that aspect. i loved how the high schoolers in the movie, actually looked like high schoolers. i see absolutely no reason why Jon Heder should not be nominated for a best actor academy award. if nothing else, a golden globe. name any other freaking actor who could have pulled off that performance. the only thing i questioned was the year it was set in. the movie hinted so much that it was the early 80's, however, i swear the design they had going was more like the early, early 90's. but then there were the chat rooms and stuff. i think there were just a lot of continuity problems, but i forgive them on that one. they had to make the story work. anyone have a definite answer on that? my final thought on the movie: see it in theaters, get the word out that this is one of the funniest movies ever, then buy it on dvd. oh yeah, and the chick in the movie that goes between pedro and napoleon reminds me so much of an old ex-girlfriend some of you might remember, oh yeah, the lovely mykal.
so, for those wondering if i got my paper done at work today, i'm sure you all know the answer to that. work sucked by the way, as always. at least i don't have to pull a 12 hour shift tomorrow. prolly catch another movie tomorrow night. speaking of movies again, i saw the worst trashy movie trailers ever. some part two of baby geniuses or something. and a new hillary duff movie. lately she's become the busiest garbage actress since my ex j-Lo (except for Out of Sight). and what? you guys didn't know her and i were together? oh yeah, it was before she got famous. we still keep in touch. but the point is, for the most part i hate cartoons, but A Shark's Tale actually looks really really good. the freaking cast for the movie is amazing (except angelina jolie who i think sucks as an actress). anyways, i haven't decided, but i think i might be up for seeing that.
one week from today, it'll all be over with. lynds said that the firm's last time together will be then, so we'll prolly all go out for dinner that night. is that really true? mike hasn't decided yet if he'll be in Family Law with all of us. that would be our only opportunity for all four to be together. its a sad realization, but i don't see it being completely over with. we still have tons of classes here and there with each other. it gonna be harder than we think to escape one another.
next time you go driving during a busy time on the road, look at all the people just sitting in their cars. ponder for a second about the fact that every one of them has the same amount of problems, friends, family, past experiences, and you freaking name it, as you do. then think about how many people there are in the world, or even at a freaking cemetery. at one point in time, some girl was going through the craziest week in her life deciding whether or not she should marry some guy. her every waking moment revolved around this thing. now she is dead in the ground somewhere, and that week where her life was upside-down, means absolutely nothing. now, i'm not trying to be some depressing oddball here. even though i believe in an afterlife, i'm just saying sometimes i feel that we as humans are pretty meaningless in the grand scheme of things. do secret handshakes and movies like Heat really mean anything? sure they are fun now, and life seems all worth it seeing val kilmer get out of his camero with the grandest smile on his face because he is going to the woman he loves after stopping his life of crime, but the beautiful ashely judd moves her finger ever so the slightest so signal to him that he needs to keep going, instantly crushing his heart in a way that every human being can relate. in a hundred years though, i'll be in some cemetery in cali or colo, and no one on the planet will have a clue about what i'm talking about (not like anyone knows what i'm talking about anyways). the point is, we are as insignificant as a speck of sand or a star in the sky...9 days
