I watched Anchorman, a waste of time and energy. Ick. :mad:

Tomorrow, while the guys are watching the game, we're on to Dawn of the Dead :rolleyes: and The Grudge, looking forward to the Grudge. We have Friday Night Lights but still haven't watched it.

Kelly's friend keeps bringing his X-Box into work and DVDs.....they watched The Grudge the other day and he really liked it. Likened it to The Ring, so he said I'd hate it. :D Have fun with it!!!

We will be watching during the day, so I should be okay. A certain close friend of mine admitted to screaming in the theater, he swears everyone else did too ;)

Japanese television. It's hilarious -- the programs and comercials. My husband and I are definitely lost in translation.

Tomorrow we are going to leave the hotel at 7am to head to a bar to watch the Super Bowl in Japan at 8:30 am on a Monday morn. Swanky or weird...maybe a little bit of both. :cheers:

I opened the Disney Tomorrowland Tin last night and watched Man in Space, Our Friend the Atom, And EPCOT. I hadn't seen the first two since I was in school, it was such an amazing trip down memory lane and so interesting to see how accurate the various predictions were. I loved reliving the era when everything, including nuclear power was met with such optimism. I also loved the fact that all the scientists had german accents - that was the era eh?

EPCOT, of course was a dleight as always. That little film has some of the best images of the park, sweeping shots of the park on the movie. I had to stop and review several portions of the footage. Whenever I see this I think what a shame it was never built and wonder if someday, some visionary will.

So we got to the Grudge, it was SCARY!! Defintely along the lines of The Ring. If you dug the Ring, you'll dig The Grudge. There was a preview for bogeyman on it and now I want to go see that too :) I'll watch either Friday Night Lights or dawn of the dead tonight, probably Friday Night Lights :blush:

I have a feeling Kelly is going to konk out in a few minutes after all his Super Bowl beers, and I'm going to get a chance to watch The Women. :snap:

We finally saw Eternal Sushine of the Spotless Mind. As good as I hoped, exactly what I wanted out of it. Really a good movie.

I think I need to write down the names of the movies I watch because I can't remember them. So, if I screw them up, forgive me.

We saw Charlieze Thieron {man, that does not look right} and Penelope Cruz in a movie, Hubster told me something like 'Head in the Clouds' or something like that. At some points I felt it was a bit cheesy but it was intriguing and it kept my interest. The story was very good and while it covered many years, it was not confusing. The end, well, that was my favorite part of CT performance.

We also saw 'Creek Without A Paddle' {again, probably not what it is called but work with me ;)} . It was one of those silly movies that you roll your eyes at a lot and try not to laugh because it will label you a degenerate. But, it was funny. :D And, the story a good one for friends. Just can't stop looking at the guy and thinking Shaggy.

The Grudge. Yikes! That was really good. I don't care for the premise, though. But, it was just a movie. And it was scary. We rented it at a hotel in Monterey, late at night! We MADE our ten year old son crawl into our bed and watch it with us so I could cover his eyes when necessary. Then we made him sleep with us. He is no chicken, he crawled back into his bed when I fell asleep. I was freaked when I woke up and he was not next to me.

My daughter picked up the Japanese version, supposed to be more scary but my son said it is only more gory. He said the subtitles are not translated to make sense and it sounds stupid. His words, not mine. :)

And about the scary movies, I LOVE THEM. I just don't know if I could sleep in a haunted place....

I watched 2 episodes of Buffy from the first season last night - God, I love that series. Even in the beginning it was clever and funny.
