megan fox is the new lara croft - What Would Tyler... →
I had to learn this from WWTDD?  Huh.  I’m in, though.  No big fan of Megan Fox, but hey, the first two movies were shitty enough that anything has a fair chance of being an improvement.  (Ok, I actually liked the first one…  Ya got me there..)

Twilight was voted “Most Animal Friendly Movie” by Peta recently.  Uhh.. Did they even watch the movie??  The first 5 minutes has a deer being hunted and eaten by Edward.  Ok..  Weird.

What's the Scoop on the Next Twilight Soundtrack?... →
I always wondered how music gets chosen for movies and trailers.. I always thought that music supervisors just had really good taste.. But no.  They just have really good help!

Jurassic Park
mollylambert: I’m watching Jurassic Park, which still has the most seamlessly realistic CGI of any movie to date. Which is getting embarrassing, since it was made in 1993. I said, “You can still tell what is computer-animated and what is a puppet but it is edited so well that you can just accept that there are fucking DINOSAURS” In the words of This Recording columnist and bloggeuress Sarah...

This isn’t the newest trailer that we saw tonight, but it’s still pretty good.  I mean, come ON people.  Fuck.  It’s a car chase action movie.  Why the hate?  Not everything can win Oscars…  Sometimes you just need to say yes and have some fun.

Why haven’t I heard of this?  It sounds like the kind of movie I would like, even though it only has a 36% on Rotten Tomatoes…

Lost: The 10 Most Worthless Characters →
8. Kate Kate’s biggest problem is that she just can’t follow instructions. Ignoring simple pleas like “Kate! Don’t touch that!” or “Kate! Don’t follow us!” have wound up causing a whole mess of problems, from getting her and Jack “caught in a net” once, to losing the Losties quite a few weapons to The Others back in Season 2, to, most recently, assuring a frantic wife, “Sun, you get the baby on...

What the fuck is this shit????  It comes out on March 21st but you can only buy the Blu Ray at Target or Best Buy until May 1st?  Oh dear.  I feel a painful retail protest coming on.  Can I wait an extra 41 days until buying it?  Hm.

When you are on a Metro escalator, boarding a Metro train or doing anything remotely affiliated with the transit authority’s symbol, then please stand single file on the right and pass on the left.
