  • Holy Crap

    Well, I've done a lot in the past week.  Wow.


    Lindsey and I went to Superman last Wednesday.  Pretty good stuff.  I think they should have given Kevin Spacey(Lex Luthor) a more in depth role in the story.  The "bad guy" portion of the film wasn't that great.  Kevin Spacey did an excellent job, the story was just weak.  But, it was a cool movie none the less.  Lindsey and I were both a little bit apprehensive about it.


    On Thursday we watched The Hills Have Eyes.  This was not a scary movie.  It was pretty much a gore fest, and a mindless one at that.  There were a lot of loopholes and there were a lot people doing really stupid things.  Which can get annoying in a movie.  I don't know why they can't make "scary" movies anymore.  It's frustrating.  I want something that builds tension and makes me jump.  Not something only bloody or violent.  It tends to get ridiculous and boring.


    Friday we went out to Pathfinder Lake, just her and I.  We like that lake a lot because there aren't many people out there, plus there are a lot of large rocks.  We don't like the sand as much that's at Alcova Lake.  Sand gets everywhere and it sucks.  While I like sand in the water when I am walking on it, I don't like digging it out of every crevice on my body on the 30 minute ride home.  The Pathfinder water is a little bit colder, but it's just as nice when you get a prefect day like it was Friday.  We had a blast, and I was completely worn out once we got home(I am such a lard ass).  We ended up curling up and watching a Russian movie called Nightwatch.  It has some cool stuff in it, but I have to say it's really different.  It's almost overly complicated at times.  Lindsey and I have noticed this trend in foreign films, especially in the Sci-fi/fantasy genres.  I don't know if it's because of cultural differences or what, but it seems like you always have to watch them over and over to finally completely understand them.


    Overall, I had a fantastic weekend.  And while in some ways it made it harder to come back to work, at least I had a weekend.  It makes being at work easier, since I have something to look forward to on the weekends.


    My brother flew in for the weekend.  I only got to see him for a couple hours on Saturday, but it was good to see him.  It pisses me off so much that my little brother is so much bigger than I am.  Oh freakin well.


    Well, time for a crazy week.  I am sure this holiday will be nuts at work.  It's easier if you expect it though.

    This movie is a very cool dark comedy by Alfred Hitchcock.  It has to be one of my favorite original dark comedies, along with Arsenic and Old Lace.
