I actually kind of just forgot to blog lately. Let's see, what's new since the last post? I did go see Predators (surprisingly not horrible) but sadly missed Despicable Me. I saw Inception and really, really liked it. People keep talking about how confusing it is but I think they're putting too much thought into it. It was really well done, the acting was stellar, the look of it was great and I tried to not get bogged down with the intricacies of the story.
Then I went to San Diego for my annual trek to Geek Mecca (aka Comic Con). Surprisingly I spent more time in the TV panels and only went to one movie panel (Scott Pilgrim). I made a fatal flaw one day and ended up back in my hotel room, watching TV and trying to sleep. I will not make that mistake again.
Upon return I didn't go see too many movies. I didn't see The Sorcerer's Apprentice, Salt, or The Other Guys. The latter is the only one of those that I heard was worth seeing. I did see The Expendables, Scott Pilgrim vs. the World and Eat Pray Love in the past week. The Expendables was, uh, it was, um, well it was pretty much what I expected. Lots of bad dialogue, a meek plot, and lots of kicking ass and killing random extras. Scott Pilgrim was fun but really is meant for people who are into comic books, video games, and are under 30. Eat Pray Love was good. It was very pretty and I dig Javier Bardem. I'd still like to see the Anniston/Bateman movie, The Switch. I hear it's not a typical romcom so that's good. Oh and I'll probably see Going the Distance w/ Drew Barrymore because that looks good.
In non-movie news I spent the weekend in Columbia. I haven't really spent too much time there since being back in S.C. It's gotten nicer and I've gotten older so I don't hate it as much as I did when I graduated. Actually I didn't hate it then I was just ANTSY to get out.
Classes are starting Wednesday. My department head and I are ready to just leave. There are lots of messes and fires that will eventually work themselves out but until then we're suffering big time.
