The power of Christ compels you!
Aug. 23rd, 2004 02:48 pmYesterday, I went to see two movies at the theater, which is some kind of new record for me, or something.
In the afternoon, I saw Napoleon Dynamite with my mom. I didn't much care for it. It was pretty dumb and slow-moving. Other people in the theater were laughing, but I didn't think it was all that funny. Kind of ridiculous, sure, but that's not automatically funny. About the only part I really liked was the opening credit sequence.
Oh, and according to the credits, Hayley Duff was in it, as a popular girl.
In the evening, Beth and I saw Exorcist: The Beginning.
( I don't really think I spoil much of anything here, but I'll put in a cut just to be safe. )
Some people in the audience during Exorcist were really annoying. There were people talking loudly during the movie, laughing at inappropriate parts, and getting up and playing Musical Chairs for no apparent reason. Come on, people! When you go to see a movie at a theater, be respectful of the rest of the audience, okay?
I suppose I should also mention some of the previews. Before Napoleon Dynamite, there was a preview for something called First Daughter, about the President's daughter wanting to live a normal life. I wish I could remember this one line, since it was one the most clichéd lines ever. Before Exorcist, there were previews for TWO different zombie movies. Granted, one was a spoof, and the other a video game turned into a movie. Still, though, how many zombies can the movie-going public take?
After the movies, we went back to Beth's house and watched a few episodes of Bullshit! that we had missed before. I'd heard (or, in most cases, read) most of the arguments in the Bible one already, but I still liked the way they were presented. The ones on curse words and Alcoholics Anonymous were also good. Maybe I'll have more to say about them later, but I think this particular entry is long enough already.
