Don't Fake The Funk

gmail / movies

All right, so I got invited to gmail. I have to admit that it's pretty cool, but in the end it's just another email service, isn't it?

I can't help but think, "Okay, what now?"

Obviously it's pretty exclusive since you have to be invited. I only know three other people personally that have it and two of those people I have zero interaction with these days.

I feel like I'm in a gang but we haven't decided who we're gonna rumble with yet. Like we're waiting for The Warriors to come into our neighborhood so we can come out and pla-ay. *clink* *clink*

All DVDs should come standard with outtakes. I just watched the outtakes for Underworld and they're hilarious. "Pierce! Taylor! I love you."

Speaking of DVDs I now have to start buying them again now that both my brothers moved out of NYC. I suppose I could sneak down to Philadelphia and steal Kuya's movies -- that's not TOO far away. Incidentally, don't tell him (this means you, Michelle!) but I'm holding his Shao Lin Soccer DVD -- which I bought for him, by the way -- hostage until he returns my Boondock Saints.

Yesterday I bought both my brothers copies of the movie Ran on DVD. I just realized that I should have gotten a copy for myself, too, because I really want to watch it right now. For those of you who don't know, Ran is Akira Kurosawa's take on King Lear. It's an amazing movie visually. Much better than the Last Samurai and Shogun, too, in that there are no honkey heroes in it. Damn. Maybe I'll keep one copy for myself.

I saw that Denzel flick Fallen yesterday. It was pretty good but I guessed the ending about a quarter of the way into the movie. I hate it when I do that. Elias Koteas was in the movie briefly. Whenever I see him I keep thinking of him as "Casey Jones" from the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles.

I still need to see Troy, Chronicles of Riddick (after I see Bitch Plack... uh Pitch Black), Saved, Shrek 2, Imelda, Dodge Ball, and Harry Potter 3 -- but only because I wanna see what Hermoine looks like now. Yes, yes. "G, you sick bastard you."
