I was happily surprised. I had continually heard how bad it was, but I thought it was actually really good. Something about it tugged at my heartstrings, not sure what. (The way the had the actress playing Deyja done up like my dream girl might have had to do with that.) Overall, I liked it.

I think I'll pick up the books now.

John Carter was a flop, but I read that - despite its poor box office performance - it is actually a pretty awesome movie.

I am actually looking forward to watching it.

My review of it was rather short. It's one of those movies where you can say "well, it's a movie" and not much more.

the wife had me take her and her BFF to the new twatlight movie. I don't get it. I suffer through this and the other movies I still don't get a 3some with them. How's that fair? lol

It was, as expected, absolute shit. It's not as shitty as the other movies, which isn't saying much. "It's the least shitty of the twilight movies." But it was definitely still really shitty. I laughed a good deal during the ending fight sequence. It was so over the top that it was obvious it wasn't real. Apparently it's altered from the book, sorta? But women/girls in there were sobbing and saying "oh no" when SparklyVamp #17 was killed or whatever, and I'm just laughing my ass off. Of course, when the dust settles, it's shown to have been a dream sequence. Utter garbage.

Slavoj Zizek: The Reality of the Virtual

Superstar philosopher Slavoj Žižek lectures the viewer on the nature of belief and shatters the illusion that is the post-political era. Those interested in the subject of reality will get kick out of this film.

I also watched Mansome this weekend.

It's a Morgan Spurlock doc, and while I liked his ComiCon doc, and hated SuperSize Me, this one was ok. Previews make it out to be like a doc interviewing people like Wil Arnett, Jason Bateman, Paul Rudd, Galafanaikis, etc, and they're in there, but it mainly follows around a few metrosexuals.

I have nothing against personal grooming, of course, but these guys take it to a ridiculous level.
