Saw Ben Browder on CSI: Miami last night. Somebody get that man some leather! Hope the guy gets a new gig soon.
Heard Eve 6's "Inside Out" on the radio this morning. Haven't heard that in loooong time - fun!
Saw the SciFi promo for SG S7 last night. It's getting close. {bounce bounce}
Saw another ad last night for The Matrix, which comes out next week. {bounce bounce} (It better not suck!)
Oh, almost forgot. Apparently the Indiana Jones trilogy is coming out on DVD in November (ooo - will have to put that on my birthday list.) It's about time! Although I kinda don't think I'll be watching the second one very often.
Yes. I was worried about that at one point. I am no longer, and I'll tell you why ...
Once upon a time, the Wachowski brothers pitched a huge big-budget action film called "The Matrix." It was the first screenplay they'd ever written and they knew *exactly* what they wanted. They were laughed at, basically. Newbies don't get that kind of budget. Some bigwigs told them to go off and make a smaller budget movie first, and then maybe they could talk.
So they did. They went off and wrote and directed Bound. And damn, if that is what they do just to prove a point -- I am so willing to have faith in their judgment. :) (Have you seen Bound? See Bound.)
Haven't seen it. I'll have to check it out. You know, there are some writers/directors that I'll always go see, just because whatever they do is at the very least interesting. The Coen Bros. are on that list (heh - just watched Raising Arizona again) as well as Christopher Nolan. (I swear, I'm going to become a Christopher Nolan groupie.) The first Matrix blew me away when I saw it in the theater, so I'm more than willing to check out these guys' earlier work. :)
I'm actually thinking of working from home that day, and then taking a half day so that I can go and see it. Somehow or other I missed seeing the original movie on the big screen, and I don't want to make the same mistake this time! There is *no* way that I am going to miss it!

Heh. I might be able to get my coworkers to go see it that day. We did an office trip to go see the last 2 Star Wars movies when they came out and even managed to get in a digital showing of the last one.

:O I'm shocked! I think I saw the first one in the theater 4 times. *g*

I took everyone that worked for me to see both of the Lord of the Rings movies, but for some reason there just wasn't the interest in Star Wars. Saw them both in the cinema, but couldn't find anyone to drag along to the second.

You know, I really don't know what happened. It wasn't exactly yesterday, but I have a feeling that a lot was going on at the time, and I simply didn't go to the movies.
Hmm. March/April 1999. I know that my wife was pregnant with our first child, we were trying to move house, and my best friend was getting married for which we had to travel down to Aus. Seems like a lot doesn't it? Kicked myself afterwards though!

I hear there's a pretty kick-ass trailer attached to the X-Men movie. Yeah, thinking about seeing that this afternoon. Even stayed up late last night watching the first one so I would know who people were. :P
Just a week to go! The theater I went to was already selling tickets, which really confused me because the lady ahead of me asked for tickets to The Matrix. Have the feeling I'm going to have to get them online to even get any.

I might perhaps be a bit too excited.

Duuuuuuuuuuuuuude!
I don't think I've ever been that scared of someone named Joey Pants before. The PLIERS man... Gah.
Plus, Meg Tilly just rocks the boat every which way from Friday.

I was really surprised that, over here, they're not showing the Matrix trailer with X2. What's up with that??

Oh that sucks - it was a goooood trailer! I got goosebumps. :)

Funnily enough, the one time I have seen the trailer is when I went to see Two Weeks Notice. Some weird ass advertising...
no subject
I had to go look up what movie that even was. That is odd advertising!

Tell me about it! Stunned but pleased.

Boy, if it's as sold-out as I think it's going to be, it might be two weeks for me too. :P
