Miscellaneous Movie Musings

When Howard Stern raved about how great the movie was last Thursday, I got nervous. As much as I find his show entertaining, I have zero respect for his taste in pop culture - bad metal music, "dancing with the stars" etc. Being a comic fan and an admirer of most things Raimi (I don't have much of an appetite for the Hercules/Xena stuff) - I'll probably hit a matinée this weekend. I know I'll regret it.

I can't believe it, it seems I've missed Meet the Robinsons in the theaters.
I should see Spiderman, but the reviews here on LoT do nothing to encourage me and beyond the Kevin Brownlow screening, I could not really get worked up for the SF International Film Festival (though I probably should have).

All the good movies that are new to DVD are still on LONG wait or VERY LONG WAIT in my netflix queue......

Being a similarly minded Raimi fan, the first one entertained me, the second one disappointed me. I have zero hope for this one.

Am I happy? Well, I would have much rather it be a good movie that I want to go see, but knowing that it's going to be bad, yes I'm happy I don't have to go sit through it in a theater.

I read this as. "I'll probably hit a manatee this weekend."

I know I'd regret it. OH, THE HUGE MANATEE!

Ouch. On so many different levels.
