Corn Pop Girl
Nov. 6th, 2003 06:39 pmStill sickish. Face hurts. Dull ache in left side of head, over left eye. Does this mean I'm having a stroke? Would be very bad. Keeping food down better. Have spiked cereal routine with Corn Pops. Suppose I could live off my rock.
Have not turned in workshop story yet. Am very bad person.
Wanted to go see Matrix Revolutions... sort of... until Sister Girl brought back her report.
Sister Girl: "Last night! I saw! The Orlando Bloom trailer!" [She means Troy.]
Cleo: "How was it?"
Sister Girl: "It was gooood."
Cleo: "What movie'd you see again?"
Sister Girl: "Matrix."
Cleo: "How was that?"
( Sister Girl reviews Matrix Revolutions )
FTers seem generally pissed as well with it. Vladimir didn't like it either, and I'm sad because it doesn't even seem to have anything like the stuff I loved in Reloaded--DVD chapters 20-25. And hardly any techno in the score! That's just wrong. It's even more frustrating because, if you watch the Reloaded DVD extras, everyone on the BTS featurettes is just patting themselves on the back and talking about how these movies are the alpha and the omega of the modern filmmaking experience, etc., etc., wank wank wank. And then the movies come out, and we're all like, "What the ever-living shit was that?" After we were done getting "Link" and "Lock" confused, Vladimir actually challenged me to recap the plot of Reloaded (this is over IM, of course):
( good luck with that )
Well, you know, what're you gonna do. There is a very petty, fangirlish part of me that is rubbing its hands in glee while watching all these blockbusters collapse (Nobody likes Revolutions! The Alamo's been moved to spring! Time called Russell Crowe a jerk in the opening paragraph!) while Return of the King looms on the horizon. (Can I just digress for a minute here to mourn that Russell Crowe's become Stay-Puft Hissyfit Man? This is actor for whom we invented the term "salty goodness" back as undergrads circa LA-Confidential-Gladiator-The Insider, and now he's gotten fame-chubby and asshattish. When heroes go down, man...) At any rate, I think there are a lot of people who would like to see Return of the King--to see anything--for once live up to the hype.
