Paycheck (2003): i'm not the greatest ben affleck fan and i was hoping this movie would have a minority report feel to it. in the end it just didn't cut it for me. i haven't been able to put my finger on why though. the story was interesting i guess. i'm really particular on movies having to do with time travel and the future, considering my hypothesis on time travel which we all i know i came up with when i was like 14, well before that moron steven hawking did. for example, this movie makes no sense because he sees the future, but its a future that never happens, so what is he seeing? a possibility of the future? well there are an infinite number of possibilities, so why doesn't he see any of those? or why doesn't he see what really will happen in the future? either way, its not worth seeing simply because there are so many other time/future movies that are much better than this (T3, 12 Monkeys, Minority Report).
For a Few Dollars More (1965): was just as good as the first one. eastwood is sooooooooo good playing the anti-hero that we love so much. the casting of the baddies was done so well. they must have found the 10 ugliest guys in mexico at the time. the more of these movies i see, the more i want to own them. so i've upped the "see it" status to "buy it." and i'm not even to the supposed best one yet (started that this morning). the musical score is so good. i'd say better than 95% of movies that come out today. so again, this is eastwood at probably his finest, set with some of the most perfect, beautiful shots i think in all of cinema. buy it.
Dead Poets Society (1989): of course i had already seen this movie, but kim hadn't and wanted to, so i thought i'd let her actually pick the movie for once. this movie is truly great. a little bit of overacting done on the part of the students and robin though. great to see my brutha ethan hawke at so young an age. its for sure worth buying. my biggest complaint is that we have killed this movie to death that it makes it almost unenjoyable to watch. do you realize how many times i've heard people say to seize the freaking day? o craptain my craptain? carpe diem this, you idiots who ruin movies. so if you can look past all that nonsense, its one of the few robin williams movies i believe is worth owning. he, along with jim carrey, are the worst over actors ever. but i forgive them. this time!
so i guess summer officially ended here on sunday. it was cooooold and yesterday was even colder with a nice little blanket of snow on the mountains, and as far as today, its pouring outside. sucks for all the protesters tomorrow for michael moore. fags are gonna get all wet. thinking bout heading to colorado for fall break next week. no promises of course because here is the dealio. its halloween, so i'd want to party it up and just hang with all my friends. but i'd want to see my mom too cuz i think she is moving. and then i have so much homework that i'm gonna have to do during that weekend. jessIE and i were planning on getting it done on the days we have off. so its a tossup. but boy would it be fun! i can just imagine...let me imagine for a sec........yep. as fun as can be.
decided to keep my girly mittens. got another opinion on it and they are A-OK. so i hate my co-workers. during the fire on sunday, the officer went crying like a bitch to my boss about how i took too long to call out the fire department. not sure what he thinks i was doing in the meantime. maybe i thought, "oh wait, i gotta finish this last bit of homework first, then i'll call the fire department to put out this fire." so we go through this big mess and have to pull the tapes of all the conversations and radio entries and log entries and luckily i'm a master at taking down notes of everything that happens, so they had all that. i so thought i was gonna get fired yesterday. turns out it was the city of orem's fault because they took too long with their system or something. well, not "or something." i can tell you the whole story, but it would take too long and its not very interesting. the point is that i hate another cop. hate A1 cuz i've worked here forever and he still doesn't know my name. plus he's a jerk on the radio to me. treats me like i'm 5. hate A2 because he is a jerk in general. he is also a jerk on the radio. treats me like i'm 5. A3 is cool, but can still be a jerk on the radio. treats me like i'm about 7. A4 is the one who tried to convert me to the GOP. and tells me not to be a jerk to people, after they have been jerks to me, simply because they have so much clout. i say F their stinking clout. A5 isn't a jerk, but treats me like i'm 5 on the radio. and A6, who is the funniest of them all, was the dick to complain about the fire incident. i won't get into the part time people, so i'm down to only liking 1 cop that works for us.
good news. just found out i can bring my camera to michael moore. hopefully we get good seats.
