There are some lines that have permanently entered into my vernacular and this is one of them.

Back to movies - I just saw The Pervert's Guide to Cinema - written and starring Slavoj Zizek and directed by Sophie Fiennes. Utterly amazing.

I feel like I'm late to the party on Zizek. I looked him up last night on wikipedia and amazon and he seems to have published many things that I need to read. Anybody here heard of him before?

I can't join in on the quoting of 'Bladerunner'. It's against office policy to fall asleep at my desk.
:D Just kidding...

Yeah, not liking Blade Runner was a major blow to my teenaged sci-fi street cred.

I could get through the original version but a group of us trekked into some small theater in Portland to see it when the director's cut was released theatrically and I just found it interminably boring. I don't think I've seen either version since though we do have the DVD.

Saw Snakes on a Plane on Friday since all the reviews were saying that if you saw it to see it in a crowd. The theater wasn't really very crowded but it was a fun movie so long as you expected absolutely nothing out of it.

Of course, there is the irony (intentional or not, I can't tell) of putting hundreds of snakes on a plane in what is probably the most difficult location on earth to get a snake to (Hawaii, that is).

Don't tell my husband this but I also find Bladerunner boring. Shhh! I mean, it's pretty and all, but I have fought sleep while watching it, and I NEVER fall asleep during movies.

Me neither! I never ever ever fall asleep during movies. My own personal take on it is that it's rude to do so. :D
