ARRRRGH!!!

Now that I’ve gotten that out of my system, let me just say that my computer is about to be rebooted…right off of the balcony. I’ll spare you the details, but if this turns out to be my last entry, you’ll know why.

Other than a cranky computer, there’s not been a lot to report on. & when I say not a lot to report on, I mean abso-freakin’-lutely nothing (spell check is having a meltdown trying to figure that word out). No getting called into the principal’s office for little chats about my on the job enthusiasm (you try getting excited about dealing with mass stupidity for 8 hours). Nor any talks about how much I bring down morale (mission accomplished…hehehe). Apparently, it’s OK for me to have to walk on eggshells when co-workers PMS, but it’s not OK for me to try to ignore them when they chatter incessantly. Meh.

So, since I’m lacking any creativity right now, I’ll dig into the vaults & pull out a DVD review for your amusement & education. Enjoy!

Pulp Fiction & Enemy At The Gates

Minor spoilers…you have been warned.

Pulp Fiction

I was surprised at how much I liked Pulp Fiction, due in no small part to the fine acting skills of Mr. Mace Jackson. I still don't like John Travolta & was quite happy to see him bite it at the hands of Bruce Willis. Very well done, which would mean something to you if I'd seen it when it came out instead of 10 years later. Bite me.

Enemy At The Gates

Muy nifty flick. Nazis & snipers - what a great combination! I was torn as to whom to root for, since the Russians seemed to take out more of their own soldiers than the Nazis did. That & the fact that everybody talked with British accents, & we know that all truly eeeee-vil people in movies speak with British accents. My only gripe was the very misplaced sex scene. I'm watching a movie about snipers. If I were watching a porno, I wouldn’t want the action interrupted by a subplot involving 2 sharpshooters trying to take each out. Wait...that almost sounds like a porno plot. My point is I don’t want a porno interrupting the gunfire.
