Blood, violence, and a moment of pain

[perpetual_motion]

Just saw "Grindhouse". As the boy and I walked out of it, we heard a guy say, "I still don't know why they carded for this." Apparently the blood, gore, face disintegration, cursing, explosions, and the ass-kicking of Kurt Russell just didn't do much for him.

But seriously, if you can handle all that [and in SPADES], you should totally see it.

And in the 'oy' moments for the evening:

The headline for the user review of "Grindhouse" on imdb:

Slightly disappointed, though expectations we're admittedly very high

And if you can't tell me what's wrong with that sentence, please leave.

The second 'oy' moment came from my e-mail, wherein someone was trying to be helpful and posted something akin to the following [I'm paraphrasing]:

Hey, Farscape people, Nathan Fallon is going to be on that new show "Drive"

There was never a Nathan Fallon on "Farscape". There was a Nathan Fillion on "Firefly". And Nathan Fillion will be on "Drive". I hope it's good. And that people trying to be helpful will have a better grasp of their actors and shows next time.

At least they got the name of that new show "Drive" right.


Grindhouse sounds like a perfect Saturday matinee show.

It really is, as long as you've got 3+ hours to burn. And you have to stay in your seat the whole time. There's fake trailers inbetween the movies that are hysterically funny.

I got a bit of a giggle out of the post, honestly, because I knew exactly what was meant after the first read through, which goes to show how far Fillion and Firefly have killed my brain.
