The Wallflower Report

So, yesterday the movie Watchmen came out and I was like so psyched because I’d been looking forward to it for freaking ever.

What? Oh no. I didn’t go see it. But everybody else did which means my friend Beth finally has to shut up about how she saw like a rough cut unfinished version months and months and months ago. I mean, seriously Beth. I saw The Spirit and even fewer people have seen that then had seen the early screening of Watchmen, but you don’t see me going around bragging about that all over the place.

So this was a pretty big summer for movies but when you’re an Big Old School Comic Geek the two biggest would have to be Ironman and The Dark Knight. They were both pretty awesome and everybody’s acting like The Dark Knight is the best comic book movie ever made but honestly I have to say I enjoyed Ironman more. It’s the kind of movie they don’t make any more, because they already made it like last year.

Though I heard they’re talking about a sequel so I guess it might be the kind of movie they make any more, at least once.

What’s black and white and red all over? The movie I just saw called Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber Of Fleet Street.

So it’s like four in the morning on Christmas and I just got done watching a movie called Love, Actually. Though I guess that might sound it was actually just called Love. So to make it clear, the name of the movie is actually Love, Actually.

Really.

So I saw this movie called The Mist the other day. It was like a horror movie and once again I didn’t quite hear the name of the movie we were going to see. I thought it was called “The Missed” and so I was expecting a movie where the spirits of all the children who were listed on milk cartons and never found come back to take their revenge on a world that let them languish and die and it seems like the spirits are going to kill everybody and then somebody realizes that as milk carton spirits they would be like reverse lactose intolerant and they kill them all with soy milk.

But it turns out it was something completely different.

So I saw this movie called Beowulf which is like Olde Englishe for “bay of wolf” and if you paid as much attention as I did in American history class you would know that the Bay of Wolf is how President Kennedy countered Castrol’s Bay of Pigs, right up until the pigs built a house of bricks to keep us out.

Also Rose Tyler visited it in her last episode of Doctor Who.

Now everybody who read my old blog knows I’m a huge fan of Highlander in all its forms from the original movie to the TV series to um actually just those two forms I guess.

So I saw a movie called The Bourne Ultimatum the other night.

Actually there’s kind of a funny story about how it happened. Mike–that’s Paris’s boyfriend–was like “Hey Ari do you wanna go see The Bourne Ultimatum with us?” and I thought he said “Do you wanna go see the boring old tomato with us?” and it’s like, who wouldn’t want to see that?
