This Week at the Movies
The time: 3:30am, Late Tuesday, September the twenty sixth (we talked about the date thing)
The location: A track house on the West side of Lancaster CA, not too far west though, that would be expensive. Just west enough.
The scenario: TRW returns home victorious from a pool tournament in Pasadena, (score: America 1…well, the guy I was playing was American as well…but he wasn’t representing the country as much as he was representing himself, and if one, as an individual, goes against his country…doesn’t that by definition make him an insurgent?? Which means…)
The score: America 1, Insurgents 0
The scenario continued: Upon arriving at his house at half past 3 late Tuesday night, TRW sits down to eat the Carl’s Jr. Charbroiled Santa Fe Chicken Sandwich which was purchased via drive-thru on the way home (Victory inspires hunger, hunger is only sated at such an hour by the CJCSFCS). Inadvertently, TRW gets drawn into a movie being watched by his two roommates.
The movie: Stir of Echoes, a horror/thriller staring Kevin Bacon in which after a hypnotism gone wrong Kevin Bacon is able to see things from “the other side” including a ghost that has taken up residence in his house. Released around the same time as The Sixth Sense, but without nearly the level of acclaim, it was completely overshadowed and seen by few. A very scary film though and worth watching.
The scenario continued again: Unable to leave midway through the movie, TRW watches until its conclusion before making his way back to his bedroom to prepare for a scant four hours of rest.
The preparation: A toothbrushing (mostly every day) followed by a flossing (first time in what could be 2 years) and a Listerine mouthwashing (probably closer to 6 months). A shower with shampoo hair cleaning (daily), face and body soapdown (daily), and facial specific wash (also daily for the most part). Towel dry.
The scenario finished: Upon crawling into bed, TRW finds he is taken with what some call “the creeps”, most likely due to the content of the film viewed prior to turning in. Unable to fall successfully into a sleep state, TRW decides he must find something else to do until his 8:45am meeting the following morning.
The answer: A neglected movie review from this last weekend!!
So that brings us up to speed, and I will continue from there to whomever has persevered thus far, hoping in vain that this will eventually go somewhere.
This last weekend was a guilty pleasure for me, allowing me to lapse to my teens and once again enjoy some completely mindless entertainment.
The mindless entertainment: Jackass Number Two
Johnny Knoxville, Bam Margera, Steve-O, Chris Pontious, and the rest return for more of what the name of the movie implies in this second installment of the Jackass series. More dangerous, more offensive, and more hilarious than the first installment in just about every way. So if you didn’t like what the first one was slangin’ avoid this one at all costs. However, if you are a fan of the show or the first movie, then this will probably be right up your twisted, depraved, low-brow, unintelligent alley.
And I’m not ashamed to admit that I take up residence down that alley…sometimes. Not much to say review wise except that I loved it, but don’t think I would get the same out of it twice since most of the humor is purely shock. Please leave the kids at home.
