This is how we roll

A group of us went to see “1408″ at the theater and I didn’t quite get the picture during the movie. This is what we did for entertainment directly after the movie. DDR battle royale between geeeek and Sara. I think she should have been given a handicap seeing as she was in heels and everything but geeeek takes his victories any way he can. Oh, and the movie…well, let’s let geeeek and nita tune in. For my part, it was a PG-13…well, that’s kind of as far as I have to go, it doesn’t really matter after that. Once I saw that my expectations went low and I was not surprised. Oh, and it was also based on a Stephen King story and wasn’t “Shawshank Redemption”. Did I mention it was directed by the guy who did “Derailed”? -sigh- what was I thinking.
DDR, Baby!! Woo Hoo! I so kicked Sarah’s ass!
I love that it was like a fake DDR that looked exactly like the real thing.
On the subject of movies, I saw a poster for a movie called “Stardust”, directed by Matthew Vaughn. It’s one of my favorite graphic novels, written by one of my favorite authors, is there any way this movie is not going to blow? The only plus is that it’s directed by Matthew Vaughn but look at the rest of his movies. All English crime things (directed “LayerCake”, produced “Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels” and “Snatch”). Semi-medieval fairytales doesn’t really seem to be his forte.
But those are all good movies. so that is promising.
I dunno Todd, rotten tomatoes seemed to like “1408″ (75% fresh, better than “Ocean’s 13″), and I don’t know how much stock I can put in a review from a guy who raved about “Next”…
I went to the theater wanting to be really scared. Sadly, that didn’t happen. The movie was good, but not great. I enjoyed seeing it, but I was definitely expecting more. But, as mentioned before, it’s PG13.
As for a bit of comedy, on our way in to the theater, we stopped at the snack bar for some refreshments. The guy standing right in front of me had a homemade (read: poorly done) tattoo on the back of his elbow that read “cookfast” – but, when I first read it at a quick glance, I read “cock fest” which would have been a much funnier tattoo.
