OMFG I am so behind on movielogging I don't even know where to start. o.O
Finally got around to seeing all of The Usual Suspects. Like any good gangster movie, is is four million times more complicated than I could ever hope to actually explain, and therefore saying anything about it is really hard. But it was awesome. We watched it immediately after watching the "Puppet Show" episode of Buffy the Vampire Slayer, in which Xander has the line "Does anyone get the feeling we've just been Kaiser Soze'd?", which we took as a sign from the gods of the seventh art that we needed to watch Usual Suspects next.
I watched City Lights this weekend, and then realized I had already seen most of it in Film App in high school. But it was worth a rewatch, because Charlie Chaplin is awesome, even though I am biased on the Buster Keaton side of that particular debate. I particularly love the bizarre boxing match.
Netflix needs to stop being so god damn slow so it can send me more movies; apparently it still hasn't received either of those and I mailed them in on Friday. :(
Chelsea made me (finally) watch V for Vendetta, which is full of awesome things, like Natalie Portman, and Agent Elrond, and things exploding. And HORRIBLE MEDICAL EXPERIMENTS, which has a guaranteed creep factor of a million, for me at any rate. Especially when plagues are involved. Why I find epidemics so fascinating, I am not sure. o.O Spent a good half of the movie being terribly bothered by not being able to identify the baby-faced detective even though he looked very familiar, until I remembered it's Rupert Graves, who plays Robert in Death at a Funeral (I remember because he was my favorite character that's not Alan Tudyk). Anders, being a logical sort of asshole sometimes, brought up the question of where the hell V got several hundred thousand masks, hats and capes if the entire civilized world has exploded into suck, but the general pretty, shiny, and explody qualities of the movie prevented me from being overly concerned with unresolved suspension of disbelief issues.
I might not be able to get through as many movies this weekend as I would like since I have mucho stuff to do for assorted extracurricular clubs. I get myself on eboards WHY, again? But at least I don't have ludicrous amounts of homework. :)
I get to see Shay tomorrow, yay ^_^
