My week, retrospect

[thebitterguy]

Pretty quiet week. No Lost, so my TV watching was pretty much shot. If only YTV would show the new JLU episodes. Or, if they are, TELL ME THEY ARE.

It's a semi busy movie week, with two "about time!" flicks. Tuesday saw Cynra & YHB taking in Wallace & Grommit in The Curse of the Were-Rabbit. We actually have a couple bags of promotional seeds from the film upstairs. Dunno if we'll ever USE them, but we got 'em.

Mage game wrapped last night. Good game. On to D&D!

Tonight was Kiss Kiss, Bang Bangon princeofcairo's recommendation. God. I shouldn't have waited so long. Hilarious. I almost had the theatre to myself, until two pairs of movie-goers came in during the trailers.

Funny trailer for Looking for Comedy in the Muslim World. "Are you Jewish?" "Not.. Right now..." Looks amusin'. Good 'ol Super Al.

Oh, yeah: Kittens!

Ah, two movies I loved that didn't do as well as they should have. "Kiss Kiss" in particular I think is going to be one of those movies where it hits like a hurricane on home video and people wonder why it didn't clean house in the theater. Especially since it's so eminently quotable!

God bless Val Kilmer.

God bless him indeed. Harry & Perry were the best screen couple of the year.

I guess films don't DO sleeper hits in the theatres anymore. In, out, three weeks. Word of Mouth & review means nothing during theatrical runs.

I'm gonna cry about Serenity now.

"Serenity" was the victim of an experimental marketing campaign. Universal fucked up, pure and simple, and nobody's kicking them harder than themselves.

They did so much wrong. So very, very much.

Hey, they lost a franchise. I'm just glad it hasn't hurt anyone's career (Hollywood thinks badly of Universal for fucking "Serenity" up.)
