Going to the 12:01 premier of 2012 last night. Excellent effects to say the least. Long movie though. We didn't get out until after 3am.
It was a bit Hollywood cheese at times with the James Bond type close calls but definitely a great disaster flick. After you have the end of the world, then what else is there to do?
I guess personally I'm getting sick of this end-of-the-world genre - seems like plot and content are worthless when the entire planet is being devastated.
There's probably dozens of Hollywood types that think since a disaster movie with a known outcome like Titanic could make a billion dollars, why not THIS disaster movie? Or THIS one? Or THIS one? Or THIS one? * Sigh * :eyeroll:
I tend to agree. Now that you can pretty much do anything with CGI they need to start adding content once again instead of just sheer effects for the sake of the effects themselves.
I saw 2012 and started to get the same idea. Some of those situations were just ludicrous.
I think the disaster movie genre is getting a bit old. There's only so many ways you can use cool cgi effects to destroy easily recognized landmarks. At least it looks like whoever got in on making 2012 had fun at their job :smile:
one day I had layed on the couch not knowing how to take care of myself let alone if one of my kids got sick from me. how coulkd I comfort them if I couldnt even comfort myself.
Two beautiful floral bouquets stinkin up my office cubical...aahhh :smile: Pink roses from the diggin' darlins and orange roses with other big orange and yellow flowers & purple snapdragons from hubby :cool: so birthdays ain't all bad I guess!
A nice quiet Thanksgiving. My parents finally put aside their grievances with my grandmother, so we were all in one place this year.
My only slight annoyance is I was asked to watch someone's house and care for some animals (horses, llamas, and cats) for the week in Wisconsin. No cell service, and an hour drive from home. On the plus side, it's nice and quiet here, and tonight I got a nice view of the evening sky (the rest of the week has been cloudy/rainy).
You wanna go to the stores TODAY? Hope youÂ’ve got a decent Armor Class.
Hey, man, are you okay? Here, let me help you up. Have a seat next to me on this futon here in the middle of the department store until you get your breath back. You want some of my popcorn, brother? It might help you get some of your strength back.
Heck yeah, I saw that! Dude straight up knocked you flat trying to get at those HDTVs. Savagery, I tell you. YouÂ’re lucky, though. I saw a guy last year take a stomping against modular shelf over a video game system. I swear the attacker was seconds away from a finishing move before security maced the Christmas right out of him. Why donÂ’t you take a sip off this flask? No one should have to face this mob stone sober.
You’re a braver man than I, sir, facing these crowds, risking life and limb for a deal. Long ago, my old man lost his leg in the Great Cabbage Patch Massacre of ‘83. I learned two powerful lessons that day, friend. One, Black Friday is the greatest example of how dangerous the human animal can be. Two, Black Friday is also the greatest spectator sport EVER. So, every year, I grab some snacks, find a relatively safe spot to sit, kick back, and watch the madness unfold.
Nah, I finished my shopping already. Actually just wrapped it up online this morning with the purchase of some Samsung Bluetooth Headsets from Woot. Everybody I know with a cellphone could use a headset with crystal clear conversations, good noise and echo cancellation, and up to 6 hours of hands free talk time. TheyÂ’re coming with a mail-in-rebate from Samsung and Woot that gets me a $20 Visa Prepaid Debit Card for each one I bought, too, so itÂ’s like I spent almost nothing. Now with my shopping behind me, I can relax while I watch housewives throttle each other over curtain rods.
Better get back out there, sport. Looks like the mob is starting to pry the demos off the WHOA! Did you see that lady just shiv a guy in the neck and snatch his netbook right out of his cart?! Clean up on aisle AWESOME! You know, on second thought, maybe you should just stick with me. No need to make your wife a widow just before the Holidays.
It's kinda a two fer - My boyfriends Ex, hears about all the things we do with the kids (quality time) and it's forcing her to actually do things with them, rather than shove them infront of a TV while she "insert your thoughts here" with her boyfriend.
Last night she takes her shower and comes to bed while I'm watching the game. She turns to me and says "I have to put lotion on my skin or else I'll get the hose again."

Better than waiting up in a line outside fighting with other people over some silly deals on nothing I really need.
