So ...
... last night I watched 'Equilibrium,' which I think I love. No, wait, I *know* I loved it. Yeah, it didn't make sense sometimes, but I had fun, so I really didn't care. And I'm now utterly convinced that Christian Bale has a clause in his contract that states that he must be shirtless at least once in every movie he's in. Not that I'm complaining, mind you. Ab shots are my crack, which means that occasionally I freebase on Christian Bale movies. (By the way, it's really hard to stuff "Reign of Fire" into a syringe. let me tell you.)
It does mean I missed '10.5', though, which depresses me a bit. Not because it was probably good, but I know that it was beyond horrible. And as much as I love disaster movies, awful disaster movies hold a special place in my heart. It's one thing for the survivors to go, "Okay, we're trapped on a flipped-over so we need to get to the bottom to get out," but when they're like, "We're having great big earthquakes, so let's pour Super Glue into the faultline and learn to walk kinda wiggly so it doesn't look so funny and all get ourselves some oars so we can row what breaks off California anywhere we want!" ... now, that's a fun movie.
And Beau Bridges as the president? Beau Bridges?! Heck, I'd believe Jeff Bridges before I'd believe that, and I'm not talking like in 'The Contender,' I'm talking like if he cracked his skull and suddenly believed he'd been elected president as long as he did so as the Dude. (And let's keep in mind, I love seventies disaster movies, in which George Kennedy is some sort of superhero. Hey, you've never seen him and Superman in the same place together, now, have you?)
Also, Bosslady and Lieutenant Asshat have read "'Cause Islands Are a Girl's Best Friend." Apparently, 'You must be this tall to ride the lesbian' is a hit with everyone. *eye roll*
