Harry Potter: the last one #9 (B+)

Well the muggles clapped, a lot. They clapped when the opening thing came one the screen, they clapped when everything happened, or someone was saved. It was good. Nice work person who wrote this series. JK Rowles or what have you. I do believe I liked these better than LOTR. Sorry Peter, go back to Bad Taste and Feebles. That is all. Plot spoiler...everyone dies.

8 True Grit (B-)

The girl was annoying. Was her character in the first movie? To be honest, while it was good, I could have used some more Barry Pepper and Josh Brolin. I must note that the Bridges chap is a fine actor. Overall however, I give this movie a B - and an "eh".

The Parking Lot Movie - 7 (documentary) (B)

"long periods of tedium, punctuated by brief moments of fuck you buddy..." Great line.

"...not only that, many of them are going to be sending my children to wars on other planets, and not only that...but they all just vomited on a Buick"

This honestly reminded me of my first main job as a kid. Honestly, and really, it did. We had our own rules and I felt this way on most days. Master of domain, master of rules, master of fun/no fun. The one dude dreams about taking tickets, I used to do that in similar regards. The movie was also a mini-roller coaster; as at first this seemed to be a great place to work and in the end I would never be able to work there.

movie 6 - 44 Inch Chest (D-)

Another clunker. I think they were trying to be "cool" like snatch or lock stock, but this movie went no where and was really bad. It actually had a decent cast (lots of people from the two aforementioned movies). I should have turned this off. Alas, I did not and it was barely worth 1 star. Good day.

#5 Assault on Precinct 13 (B)

This ended up being a very entertaining movie. I was happy to have tried it out. Basic plot is that a cop gets his first night of duty in an office (precinct 13) that is shutting down the next day. A bus of 3 cons makes a pit stop for the night to use the cells at the precinct. There is a band of hooligans that are after a man who shot one of their own, and he happens to run into the precinct for help. It then becomes similar to the Horde (only no zombies) where the cops and the villains have to work together to blast asses. Definitely an oldie, but kept the excitement throughout. I believe at one point there was shooting for about 5 straight minutes with no dialog. That's all I really got to say about this one, but if you're game for an old one it's worth a check.

4 Rubber (A)

"Freaking fantastic movie."

Q-Slice, St. Petersberg Post Gazelle - July 9, 2011

"Great sound. So luscious. (seriously)."

Scutio, New Zealand Journal of Medical Science - July 9 also

"Highly recommended. Just watch the trailer, followed by the full movie. Then say, 'I couldn't stop watching.'"

No. 3 is a ticket stubber - Cars 2 (B)

Only saw 2/3 of this piece son. My son decided he'd rather play in the lobby, so I don't know the ending. This one was barely about Lightning, rather about Mater and two spies. Odd. I wish I knew what happened. I count this as having seen it though, FYI.

#2 Piranha (D+)

THIS MOVIE SUCKED (fyi, this movie sucked). WTF. But, I started trying to keep track of the cool deaths:

• Fish through mouth was pretty cool. sort of.
• Seeing that Connelly guy get his penis ripped off and then the fish burp it out was awesome.
• Parasail scene was cool.
• When the girl falls apart it was cool.
• Ving Rhames and the boat propellor was good stuff.

Who am I kidding, this movie blew. I should have stopped it at 31 minutes when I thought about stopping the movie. I give it a D+

Movie #1; Mystic River (C)

I've seen this before and didn't realize. I think I know why, because it was slow/boring. Don't get me wrong - I thought the acting was good and the plot was good...and the cast was good. I really like Sean Penn and also Laura Linney. I don't think they could have done it any better. However I'm categorizing this as one of those that I never need to see again, again.

Addition: the funny thing about me seeing it for the 2nd time was that the only part of the story I really remember is the end part with Tim Robbins near the lake. I don't remember much about the young girl (Penn's daughter). Anyway, good day.

Mike, if you want to take a stab at drawing my silhouette of a mini-van tattoo I’d consider it for my forearm if it’s within my vision of what I want. Your call. I’m hitting a bit of a mid-life crisis lately and I could use a tattoo to get me out of the funk, that or have a drinking session with my boyz….and a tattoo. Perhaps if we get drunk enough we could create a device in the shape of a mini-van, get it hot enough, and we could all get tattoos? Perhaps I’m being a bit too ambitious?

constant breeze

there is a total constant breeze tonight. What do I hear? DJed by tortoise, a motorcycle, a train about 20 minutes ago (it's nice to know that I have trains around here...obviously grew up with them every 90 or 300 seconds), katydids, and finally random beetles whamming their faces into the facade o' siding. I've been meaning to get back to this. These are my best moments (I want to say that this is half true....these are moments where I reflect; reflect and realize that maybe I understand repetition. Maybe I understand that random ashtray on your porch. Maybe I'm starting to get "life". It's a weak maybe. I'm in the mood for some Tom Petty. Scratch that....perhaps I'm in the mood for being in a place where hearing the sound of trains gave me their start. In fact, I'm not sure I can remember the start of the trains without putting myself into another zone....the second coming phase of my life. If that's the second coming by the way, then I'm on my 9th coming phase, because it's been ages since I was at that second coming. No seriously, that's odd that I can't remember the trains from where they started. I can remember riding them and doing stuff on the tracks...I can remember other noted moments via bike and car, but I can't remember it from where I started. I can only remember random moments close up and those from your back porch. Odd in a way. It's sad to think this is our only life. I mean that in the best possible way. I mean that in the way that there is so much that happens out there for people where out there equals the Earth and the world and the uni or multiverse, as in people like the random guy who posted on my blog that one time telling me he's still out there....people like mother theresa and ghandi [those two names come to my mind by chance] {yeah that's right random guy, I put you up there with those people, feel special and no disrespect from my prior message}, people like those that wear chaps, seriously who does that??? hahaha. That's funny. But while this life rocks ass and I love it, it's crazy to think this is the only one. I want to know that I'll feel these same emotions in my next and my other....I know I always say this, but perhaps I should exit these parenthesis???) I also hear lots of crickets. How are crickets nocturnal, when I see them during the day? Same with something else I recently thought of but can't recall, how are they nocturnal? really?

20 seconds on the microwave. This guy just got his computer stolen. Haha!

would you rather be able to float (not fly) up with the clouds - you wouldn't get hurt, and you could do it every week but only once a week - or would you rather be able to force more out of your brain, whatever that means...for instance if we use 30% of our brains, you could be given the ability to use up to around 45%?

hey random scary guy

regroup, repave, rally...

tomorrow. Thanks

hey there 'Moon' is a good movie

are you sure my cat is not an alien...? Is there a camera in there?

I still have my work pants on.

Try to look up...on a cool calm night. We are tiny. Fyi only.

is "my normal" different than other people's daily "normal" feeling* more on this later...(I hope to BLOG on this in the future)

I do so believe I'd like to see Kobe grow his hair out.

if I grew a mullet (which I think I can't possibly do) I believe that fascination might last maybe 1-4 days max...then I'd feel dumb. Not sure if more power to those who do, or more power against?

adrenaline = scared = pumpy, right? that is a good feeling. I'd like to know if my ancestors thrived on scaring themselves. Specifically did they do this in 1890 on my deck with a noisy woods near by?

Glad for Lycopine, happier for music that is found.

replies to this = more frequent entries. Let me know you are out there.
