watched Underworld: Rise Of The Lycans, last night.

Not nearly as horrible as I thought it would be.
Really?  I found this to be pretty terrible.
QuoteHow come there are no girl Lycans in the past? how did they reproduce?
By biting people.  Apart from that, they don't need much of a birth rate, since they're immortal.
I do not hate you, nor do I love you, but you are made out of atoms which I can use for something else.

Anyone watched Soderbergh's Ché movies with Benicio del Toro yet? Pt. 1 is coming into a cinema here this weekend, Pt. 2 in two weeks.
I am, somehow, less interested in the weight and convolutions of Einstein's brain than in the near certainty that people of equal talent have lived and died in cotton fields and sweatshops.

Finally got around to Tropic Thunder.  It was no Hot Fuzz, but pretty damned funny.

But they never bite girls... and they're all buff and oiled up all the time... hmmm are Lycans gayer than Vampires? say it ain't so.

Oh and yeah I'll likely never watch it again... but it greatly surpassed my extremely low expectations. I was entertained briefly.

Last night I watched (i'm getting a bit burnt out watching movies every night lately. Oh paycheque please come soon) In The Electric Mist, starring Tommy Lee Jones as the identical cousin (slightly less world weary, but only slightly) of his character in No Country...

an old racist murder and some modern ones tie together nicely for James Lee Burke's favourite Cajun cop in this well crafted (Bert Tavernier directed) if a bit laggardly paced Cop drama. some decent cameos from Ned Beatty, Mary Steenburgen... John Goodman isn't trying very hard, but is still funny. He may have lost weight... hard to say.

I recall from some fantasy universe (can't remember for the life of me which)- and given a lack of female werewolves in many verses perhaps its a standard rule with those that have female werewolves being the exception not the norm- that werewolf transformation and all that is heavily linked with testosterone. So I guess they somehow aren't drawn to women in wolf form or women always die after being bitten.

Why would anyone watch an excrutiatingly long propagandistic movie glorifying a sadistic mass murderer?

Wanted to see a movie last night.  Of the four choices, wound up seeing Night at the Museum II.  The distant second choice was Terminator.

It was what it was.  I was struck by the fact that I don't know why Hank Azaria doesn't get more work, and why Ben Stiller does get so much work.
