Superbad was okay. Pineapple Express was better.
Really? I thought Pineapple Express was really, really terrible. When I got to the end of it I said, "If that's the state of modern comedy, then film is truly dead."
They were comedies?

Duh, dude. I stick fiddling know taste is subjective. If you'll note, you'll see that I used the words "I thought" when I rendered my opinion about that movie.

Sorry for being so short. Had a bit of a tense morning.
Not sorry for hating Pineapple Express, though.

Wanna vent?

I get that at home.
I'll be at work, and my wife will call about the Internet being down. Then, when I say I'll call when I get home, she gets upset. Apparently I am supposed to be able to diagnose the problem, and/or help the dumbass technician at our ISP diagnose the problem remotely through an insanely restricted firewall at work.
God forbid we lose the signal entirely. Then I'm expected to remain on hold with the ISP until it comes back...
On The Beach. Somewhat strange and terribly depressing.

Wouldn't you want to spend your last days getting drunk and singing "Waltzing Matilda"?
Well, getting drunk, anyway.
they'd have been humping their brains out
Humping Matilda?
Humping Moira really.
just finished watching "manhattan," one of woody allen's best ... so beautifully photographed
though it's crazy creepy to see him playing a middle-aged guy dating a teenager (played my muriel hemingway)
i've always had a hard time watching his movies since the ... unpleasantness

He's always put some much of himself in his work.

Yeah, it's one of my favorite of his movies but it's hard to get past how creepy he is.

Paul dies at the end?

I din't recall he was in the movie until I started watching it. It's part of my collection that I picked at random and it was quite the coincidence.
White House Down, followed the next day by Olympus Has Fallen.
Olympus Has Fallen was the better movie.

The Book Thief
I really enjoyed it, it was a well done movie, but the product placement at the very end was just so out of place and a bad way to end it.

The latest Steven King?
Iron Man Three. Good timing on watching this one too, I'd just re-watched Avengers the night before. The focus on Tony Stark as he relates to Iron Man was quite interesting. Nice twist on the Mandarin, with the real villain wanting aiming to be a literal mandarin by force. It lagged around the middle with the young kid and had a couple somewhat jarring jumps in narrative, but overall I thought it was well done and quite enjoyed it, even though I couldn't figure out why an oil tanker was loading containers...
World War Z.
Interesting take on zombies. Speed of infection was astounding.
