How I wasted my afternoon
cleolinda Watching "The Invasion" on cable. Had forgotten how ridiculous the Nicole Kidman/Daniel Craig non-romance is.
cleolinda "You're my best friend, I can't risk that." NO YOU MORON! HE'S HOT ANGSTY PEDIATRICIAN MAN! ARE YOU BLIND!
cleolinda And I'm still not sure how she teleported from a residential area to downtown wherever.
cleolinda The funniest part to me is the ending, but I probably shouldn't discuss that on open Twitter.
cleolinda Okay, I've posted a comment on my original review of "The Invasion" to discuss the ending: http://bit.ly/10kjnO
cleolinda "You can EASILY go for a week without any sleep!" OH WHATEVER. I pulled sleepless paper-writing weekends in college and it was NOT easy.
cleolinda Apparently if you go long enough without REM sleep, you go into psychosis. I can totally, totally believe it,
cleolinda because I was up working on papers for like 60 hours and was just gibbering by the end of it. Really, really counterproductive.
cleolinda I would get blocked and push it until the last moment. Yeah... bad idea. I worked really well under pressure until I was 20
cleolinda and then it was just over, I couldn't pull it out in the last two hours anymore. And I learned this the hard way, woe.
cleolinda I think a lot of my blocks really tend(ed) to be about anxiety and unrealistic expectation, particularly in college.
cleolinda Yeah, I basically had a nervous breakdown because I suddenly couldn't work the way I had for years.
cleolinda It was like I lost my teenage metabolism overnight or something.
cleolinda Ah, Nicole Kidman stumbling around 7-11s chugging Mountain Dew. Just like senior year.
cleolinda And in closing, re: "The Invasion": My mother watched the first 1/2 hr or so, and you know her issues with Blond James Bond.
cleolinda She got to the "You're my best friend" scene, stares for a moment, and declares, "She's an idiot." ~The end.~
cleolinda ("That totally looks like his kid, too.")

And this one? Oh God, why even remake Invasion of the Body Snatchers if the alien menace is no longer emotionless copies of people that hatch out of giant seed pods? It's now a virus? Are you kidding me?
Oh, and the humans win this time? Fuck that!
