| Just saw a screening of it. About what was expected. Horrible but good for a laugh with some gore thrown into it. Definitely one of those horrid movies that I would likely watch again (though probably not in theaters) just because it is so bad it's hilarious. There're definitely some good lines in the movie. fairly predictable as many horror movies are nowadays. However, the thing I liked about this as opposed to other remakes is that they really changed up the storyline. There was really only one moment where I was like.. oh that's totally going to happen because that happened in the original and they have to keep that. Some of the other scenes that I thought might be setting up for similarities to the original didn't pan out which was good. Kept you a tiny bit more on your toes. However, the stuff leading up to the one part that was almost exactly the same as the original was a little silly. You find yourself thinking, now why would they do that? Oooh.. so they could make Jason do that. Got it...
Interesting thing about this Jason. I think he's protecting his stash of weed. At least, that's really what it seems like. They turned Jason into a stoner!!! 
So, if you don't mind some fairly gruesome deaths and want a really good laugh, this is the movie for you!
(Oh yeah, and I find it odd that Jared Padelecki, formerly of the Gimore Girls was running around with a girl who looked a LOT like Rory Gilmore minus the seriously blue eyes.)

| | Reminds you to make the most of each and every day because you really have no idea how much time you have.
One of my high school classmates just passed away. We were friends in high school although we fell out of contact except through facebook. She was an amazing person, very kind and friendly. she recently got married 8-9 months ago. 6 months ago, she had abdominal pains and was found to have extensive colon cancer with multiorgan spread. She has NONE of the risk factors for colon cancer and yet there it was. chemo and surgery were tried but her body couldn't take the side effects and it was decided more treatment was worse than none. hospice care was started and 3 days later she passed.
I can't imagine what it must be like for her family, especially her new husband. She won't be able to celebrate their one year anniversary and most all of their married life was spent ill and in hospitals. To lose someone to a disease that is suppose to affect older people except in hereditary cases (which she did not have), is a shock. To lose someone so quickly, is a shock. it makes one appreciate your time with loved ones and every experiance you can gather.
My heartfelt sympathy and condolences go out to her family and friends. RIP Suz. |

| | Grr.. I haven't done this for years! To be this mad and annoyed at my parents. I thought I outgrew this. Why do I have to be "dutiful" and not argue back with them? That would certainly relieve some of the anger... or maybe not cuz then I'd be in trouble. Although, 4 days before the wedding and being this mad at them, maybe it would be better to get everything out in the open. They certainly aired all their thoughts. Not that my dad has ever been shy about that sort of stuff. I've just never felt comfortable arguing with him. ARGH!! You'd think that this close to be being an "adult" (dude, I'm 25, when does getting treated like a grown up start?) and fully independent with my husband they would freaking stop making me feel like a little kid! I know they really love me and worry about me but to freaking pick a fight 4 nights before my wedding sucks! My dad has been an ass ever since I got back from Tucson to start getting ready for the wedding anyways. This just sort of puts the icing on the cake (until he tries to pick a fight with B when B shows up tomorrow). I thought my parents and I were doing a really good job of getting along for the last 2 years. We've actually been able to stand being around one another without someone getting mad. I guess I only really have to put up with them one more day before there are too many guests etc around to get mad at one another.
Yeah, I know mine and B's plan to drive my car back to DC so I have it there for a few months is crazy. we were trying to be self sufficient and save some money and make it convenient for me to have a car there for the duration. My parents look at it as being unsafe and that B, despite getting me for essentially free since my education and the wedding is all paid for, doesn't really appreciate me and doesn't really love me because he's putting me through the strain of driving for 3 days and trying to make fast time on the drive despite the stress etc of the wedding. I really don't mind the drive at all. I see their point about the safety issue etc but the way they phrase it just pisses me off.
My dad was pounding the table and saying things like "why is it with my money you don't care to save any money but with your money you keep trying to cut corners!?" and "I would rather spend less money on stuff for the wedding and then spend more on your trip back to DC". He's freaking making me sound like I go out and spend like crazy with his money which I DO NOT DO! I freaking cut all sorta of corners with the wedding, as much as I could. You should see the tons of charts I made comparing various vendors etc just so I could save some more money. When I wanted to get half the number of chair sashes to save cost, they wanted one for each chair so I searched and emailed tons of vendors to get the cheapest chair sashes out there. When I wanted to just go with the cake that goes with the package we got, they wanted better, more expensive cake so we got that. When I wanted to just get some cheap wine and beer to serve (Trader joes has great wine for cheap) they wanted to get more expensive stuff, granted not SUPER expensive stuff but definitely more expensive by 2-3x. And it's not my fault the Vietnamese wedding is totally out of control.
Yes, I realize this is a retarded reason to be pissed off and ready to cry but if you knew my father and the way he sometimes speaks, you'll realize why I'm so upset. I love my parents and I know my parents love me but we definitely have communication issues. |
