I had a notion the other day.
"We should get a group of people together, with guns, and, uh.. Clear out the.. Ghettos."

I love Will Ferrel.

Three days ago, my family decided to drag me to go see Spiderman 2. On the way to the large, brand-new theater with larger, more comfortable, reclining seats and 22 different movies going on at the same time, we drove by the crappy, run-down dollar theater, and I looked up from my twiddling thumbs just in time to see "Kill Bill 2" as we passed by. I told my parents to screw Spiderman 2, and they didn't listen, but last night I finally got my dad to drive me over to the poor little theater to see the film in a small, run-down theater.

There were many.. Undesirable characters outside the building, but we simply didn't make eye contact and went on our not-so-merry way.

My father, for some odd reason, decided to leave thirty-five minutes before the movie previews even started. We're only about ten minutes away from the theater, and as sure as I'm sitting here we got there far too early, and had nothing to do but sit and watch the little pre-preview diversions (such as "Hollywood Trivia" and Can "You Find All the Coke Cans?") for quite some time.

The dollar movies, being very outdated and showing five-month-old movies, seems to continue that tradition by showing us five-month-old movie previews. It was around here I started getting irritated by the people around me. To our left was some guy and his mom talking about the movies they're seeing on the screen as if each one of them is the greatest achievement in the history of cinema, behind me was a young, horny couple laughing at anything and everything before them, and everywhere else people were just talking. I would love going to the movies so much more if you could just plug in a headset and listen instead of trying to decipher what's in the film and what I'm hearing from the freak "scratching" his crotch three rows back.

Anyway, the movie was as I expected. There wasn't as much action, but much more dialogue, which had me at the edge of my seat- not necessarily from exciting plot twists or the sticky substance that was farther back on my chair, but simply because it was interesting.

The action in Volume 1 was all fine and and dandy, but I didn't need more of it. Elle's tone and manner of speaking was great. Her little monologue in the trailer with Budd was perhaps my favorite part of either movie.

Of course, I can't go to a movie theater without idiots ruining the mood. There were so many instances which were hardly funny enough to receive a smirk, even if Mr. Tarantino intended for them to be funny, but everybody started laughing so many times. It sucked.

I felt Bill and Budd's deaths were a tad anticlimactic, but it wasn't too bad.

Anyway, moving on.

My brother has just become re-infatuated with PC simulation games, and I don't want him infringing upon my online-ness rights. Well, let's just say that I have finally found a purpose for that laptop that's been sitting up in my room gathering dust for several weeks now.

It is now the designated outdated-simulation-game machine of the household. I have no problem with my brother using it, especially because it has no internet access, or enough RAM to handle all of the crazy things I do on this desktop. *pats it*

Anime Expo Pictures Part 3- Assorted freaks and interesting sights

Not only do you have people dressed up as freaks at Anime Expo, but there are quite a few authentic, grade-A freaks there as well. Not to mention freaky sightings. Let us delve deeper into the enigma through visual aids.


I'm not entirely sure why I took a picture of this.. It was funny at the time. But look carefully at the shirt. There are two fuzzy, infamous legs there- the infamous legs of the elusive Man-Faye. *gasp!*


This was right next to the booth with all of the h-doujinshi. Just imagine what would happen if one of the sexually frustrated fanboys got a hold of a weapon near some nerdy cassanovas hitting on sexy cosplayers..


Glomping. KKC, if you're out there, this is in reference to you. :P


And finally, the biggest freak at the expo by far. I mean, look at him! A Pepsi, a brand-name CD player and a shirt from his college. What a freakin' sellout. >:O
