| | Boondock Saints on DVD | ] |
Just watched the two movies in the subject line back to back. Amusingly, both are, in essence, revenge fantasies that propose a comeuppance for a villified figure of 20th-century politics that is far different (and more satisfying) than what actually happened in history.
Both were fun in totally different ways. Ron Howard gets extra points for faithfully re-creating the 1970s to a degree that most period pieces never get close to. Quentin Tarantino gets extra points for not being even remotely constrained by history, because where's the fun in that? Special kudos to Christoph Waltz, who steals Basterds as the oily Colonel Landa.
Am now watching Boondock Saints, which is a pip.... |

Pro tip:
I wrote on Thursday about the Inkstop liquidation. Unlike other liquidation sales that I've seen (CompUSA, Circuit City), products at Inkstop were not marked the hell up then "discounted." Prices at the liquidation sales are actually based off the last tagged price the store had on the shelf. I picked up a shiny laptop bag for $21.99, one that retails at Amazon.com for $50.
These are the locations that are open for the liquidation sale. |

| Dreams: the most disturbing dream today! |
[Dec. 12th, 2009|12:59 pm] |
In this dream I'm housesitting or breaking and entering.. I'm not sure
which, this nice house in a nice neighborhood. I think housesitting. I go in
and turn on the DVD-R and put on DollHouse. I don't much care for the show
but it's background noise. You see the house is haunted by some teenage
boy. He likes the show.
I go outside and it's very cold but teenage ghost boy annoys me and I'm
involved in a funny Venture Brother's E-mail based RPG. My Fail Villian and
his girlfriend are having an InCharacter fight infront of the minions and
some guild members. LULZ are happening and the emails are just back and
forth in and out of character. So I'm constantly swapping email threads and
responding.. while waiting for a refresh (I'm doing all this on my cell so
there's that send/receive downtime) I look up. Down the street walking this
was is a woman I used to work with and her daughter. Hoshit! No! You see
her mom is clueless but her underage daughter (16-17ish) was pretty clearly
crushing on me back in 05. Do Not Want! (This is true. Almost every day the
mom would be like.. she wants me to get her a coat like yours and
worse..funny worse)
So I get that panic that one can only get in a situation like that and I RUN
LIKE HELL. I hide in the house and I go into this bedroom that for some
reason is in all my dreams, and I flop down on the bed. Safe. Hiding. No
clueless mom and touchy underage daughter. I open an OOC e-mail and tell
the group that I'll be offline for an hour or so. Then I'm aware of noise
that is not the TV.
The ghost boy is arguing with a girl about breaking into a house.. HIS
house to have sex on a strangers couch. How could she do that to him?!
There's someone besides ghost boy in the house! Panic! It sounds to be a
teen girl and she's very passionate about how she still has a key and his
parents don't live there anymore so it's not HIS house.
I decide to make my living and breathing existance known.
"Hi. I am not a ghost. I don't care what you two are doing out there but
I'm comming out in one hour. You Better Be Dressed then and don't be loud
when you come." Then because I don't know the hostility level of the
couple..I add.. "and if you have money, order a pizza and split cost."
A few seconds pass.. I look around for a potential weapon...they might be
hostile..
Then I hear Teague. "Paige. I want you to know I'm now Deeply Traumatized."
I snap awake because in the not dream world the woman I was suposed to
see this morning is calling me. Dream Teague was traumatized?! Real Life Me
is even more disturbed! |
