Scott Pilgrim, which was about as good as I expected. I.e. pretty damn good.
And then this movie about teen rebellion and gymnastics, called Stick It I think. Lame but a useful time-killer.

Inglourious Basterds, after getting over people gasping 'WHAT?!?!!1" when I said I still hadn't seen it.
Christoph Waltz was incredible.

Midori: you forgot SO FUCKING SEXY.  Just watched Cabin Fever and Cabin Fever 2: Spring Fever. Both were as stupid and pointless as I had thought they would be. In all truth, the only reason I watched these films is because I'd heard that the second film had this non-exploitative (well, non-exploitative up until she DIES) sex scene between a fat girl and one of the jocks. I'd also heard it had lots of shots of back rolls and boobs. Imagine my disappointment when it's not hot (i.e., the guy was banging her only to win a bet with his friends that he could, and wasn't into it at all) nor full of cute nekkidness. I'm left mystified as to why several reviewers described it as being clearly nothing like what the movie portrayed, at all. Anyway, TL;DR: Bad horror movies were bad, not even fun or sexy in the slightest. |

^ I wasn't just talking about his acting.  I've become wary of horror movies including teenagers. |

You Will Meet a Tall Dark Stranger. Awfully predictable.

Defiance then Star Trek.
They are not related to each other in ANY WAY. But still.

Just finished the whole Brave Little Toaster trilogy. The first film is great. It holds up well, and it is surprisingly dark and somber for a children's film about talking appliances. It's charming, but also full of nightmare fuel. I mean, they kill someone off in the first 15 minutes of a 90-minute children's film Wow. Additionally, the songs actually further the plot for the most part, and they're frequently pretty catchy. "Worthless" is the most upbeat-yet-depressing song I know. (I also find "Cutting Edge" amusing in that all the new appliances are all outdated now, while the main cast would still be useful.) The second film is kind of eh. True, there were talking animals for a brief scene in the first one, but they were pretty much restricted to a Big Lipped Alligator Moment. This one has them as characters. Other things I didn't like: the songs were not so great (also mostly BLAMs), everything involving the old vacuum tube computer was improbable, and the antagonist was too obvious. The first film barely had antagonists, and they were only for a certain sequence. This one has a greasy fat guy saying things like "I'm so bad." and "I love money.", and it just kinda sucks. ("You can't have your characters announce how they feel! That makes me feel angry!") I was amused by how apparently the "information superhighway" was such a fantastic thing that not only do they have to explain it, but sing a song about it starring feminine CPU tower cows. Yeah. The third movie was just... strange. This one was just all about tacking one more weird thing onto the next, without really explaining anything. It kinda smacked science in the face a lot. Which, I mean, it is a kids' film about talking appliances traveling to Mars, but still. The first film worked with its own universe. The other two just kinda didn't care about science. Computers, viruses, unified field theory, microwaves, baby monitors, and even balloons don't work that way. I barely even noticed the songs in this one. Seriously, I literally just finished watching it, and I only remember the balloon song, which was another BLAM anyway. Also, the baby. Goddammit, the baby was never portrayed consistantly. WAS there a passage of time between bringing him home? I really don't know. He can't walk, but he can get out of his crib on his own. How old was this kid supposed to be anyway? And why does he almost never wear clothes? Are they raising a nudist? And you know what? I'm not even going to talk about the Wonderluxe appliances. Geh. Also, this film just didn't seem to have any dramatic tension. Microwave (voiced by Wayne fucking Knight): "Everything's going to change around here, guys. Watch out." And then: nothing. Baby gets along with all appliances. Way to raise a problem in the first few minutes and then fizzle out, movie. So, to recap: * The Brave Little Toaster: A classic charming kids' film about abandonment * The Brave Little Toaster To The Rescue: A less-good sequel that doesn't quite understand computers and has a too-obvious villain. The message is barely there (animal testing is probably bad, but we're not going to show or explain why), but it, um... Actually, I didn't have a finish for that sentence. * The Brave Little Toaster Goes to Mars: A WTF-fest that smacks science in the face and doesn't even have much of a plot, opting in favour to just top the previously unlikely thing with an even more unlikely thing. The message is, um, don't build deliberately shoddy appliances, or they will escape to Mars and plan to blow you up? And maybe kidnap an ambiguously capable baby by accident? |

Just watched Whatever Happened to Baby Jane? with my 13-year-old sister.
Now she says it's her favorite movie. WTF? A 13-year-old isn't supposed to even LIKE old movies, let alone favor them. o.0

Hey, that's a good movie. The scene with the bird has always bothered me.

Fellini Satyricon
I'm not even sure how to describe this film. Some guy loses the love of his life, a pretty teen boy with a knack for doing the robot dance, to his best friend (who really acts like a major dick the whole movie, no idea why they're friends). This loss throws him into a depression where he wanders around Rome bawwing and runs into a poor poet. They go have dinner at some rich guy's place and then suddenly he's whisked away onto a slave ship where another rich guy with the crazy eye wrestles, and promptly falls in love with his beauty. They get married on the ship and are happy for all of five seconds until rich guy gets his head lopped off. Bawwing guy meets up with dick friend again and ends up kidnapping a hermaphroditic demigod child and totally lets the kid die, because they didn't bother to bring enough water into the desert.
Somehow he wanders off into another country during a celebration, and for good luck needs to bone a really unattractive woman. He can't do the deed and she gets all pissed off and everyone leaves except Baww who just sits there and cries about his nonfunctional penis. What cures a broken dick you ask? Well clearly the answer is visiting a whore house to have half a dozen women paddle your ass with sticks wrapped in brightly colored string. If that still doesn't work you, of course you totally need to visit a witch. Not just any witch, a witch cursed by a wizard to have literal flaming vagina. So Baww and dick friend go in search of fire crotch and wind up in a swamp. Baww screams "I HAVE TO SUCCEED" over and over while attempting to give it to a priestess of the great flaming vagina witch. This apparently cures his terrible flaccid wang curse. Meanwhile dick friend gets into a random fight and when the two meet up again he falls into the tall grass as Bawww has his back turned. Dick dies with a creepy smile on his face and Bawww instead of mourning his friend/not friend, just sits there and talks shit on him.
Baww goes on to find a ship, where the master has just died. We get to hear about his weird ass will, where all the benefactors have to rip apart and eat his body in full view of everyone if they want his awesome stuff. So all these old guys rip the dead guy apart as the slaves watch and laugh. So Baww sails away and the story ends.
Other random things:
Weird threesome with a slave girl in a home where both original owners just committed suicide
Bizarre bath party of dozens of naked old people jumping around and some guy with silver hair getting his ass paddled while doing these weird pushups
Someone dancing around dressed up as a giant fish with legs
A Roman/Greek? aristocrat woman making orgasm face over an over. She sees someone, orgasm face. Someone dies, orgasm face.
Some old dude wearing gold armor with tit holes showing off his fabulous moobs and giant nipples.

Also watched "M"
A child murdering schizophrenic terrorizes Berlin and can't be stopped until the criminals of the city decide he's giving them all a bad name. Not a bad film, although the ending is a bit of a let down.
"A Boy and His Dog"
Postapocalyptic film about a kid and his telepathic dog winding up in a amazonian-like society full of women demanding the snusnu.
