What was the last movie you watched?

A Bag of Hammers. Good, but the story structure falls apart in the last 5-10 minutes.

I guess you could say that ending was... Dumb as a bag of hammers.

Spaceballs. Ages since I have.

Just finished The Lorax. It was okay. Had some cute little moments.

Didn't expect much from it, so what else can I say?

I watched The Hobbit again on Tuesday. Goood stuff.

I still haven't watched The Hobbit... Or The Dark Knight Rises. Sometimes it takes me a really long time to watch a movie—and not even because I don't want to. I'm just like, "Meh, I'll get around to it." I only just watched Inception.

Simon

G.I. Joe Retaliation. It was Fun.

How to Train Your Dragon. Two words. Test Drive.

Something called "As Luck Would Have It." Watched it because my Spanish class required me to watch something in the language and write a page about it.

It was this weird sort of dark comedy, and I'm really not sure what I thought of it.

Spent a weekend at my family's house, which like usual resulted in watching several movies to pass the time:

Men In Black 3: Best of the lot by far. You wouldn't think that adding time travel and replacing one of your lead actors for most of the movie would help a franchise whose last entry had "coherent plot" as its biggest weakness, but boy did they pull it off. Hilarious all through. Though I still find the twist at the end bizarre that J somehow failed to recognize his father, memory wipe or no.

I Robot: And once again, the racist cop (played by a black man no less) saves the day through the power of his exceedingly stubborn racism. Wait, what? Well other than that, the product placement drinking game and the role that they clearly went back and added into an already-finished script when they signed on Shia Lebeuff, it was pretty good.

Battleship: The first half of this movie was unforgivably stupid, aside from the hilarious (though still stupid) scene with the convenience store breakin, and I almost stopped watching. Once they ran out of extras and landmarks to blow up and actually started advancing the plot, though, it became a solidly average B movie for the rest of the film.

I dunno if robots really count as a race per se, but if so, that's definitely a Family-Unfriendly Aesop.

Creep... -shudders-

If you watch the movie, the implication is pretty clear. It's not even very subtle about it. Will Smith is desperate to catch a robot doing something wrong because he resents all robots, and assumes they're committing a crime in at least one circumstance with a perfectly innocent explanation, and everyone around him thinks this is hindering his ability to do proper police work. He was ultimately singled out by the guy's suicide note not because they knew each other, but because the scientist knew that this particular cop would never stop picking at a lead that looked like "homicidal robot".

I've seen it, but didn't connect the dots, being a privileged scumbag. The irony of the racist cop being black is deliberate, I presume.

If it helps, apparently I was the only one in my family who "noticed" it so it might all be in my head. The product placement, on the other hand, even got a chuckle out of the less critical members of the family after I'd pointed it out. ("Hey Spooner. Nice shoes.")

Assuming robots are considered a race—which they probably are in this case, given that Asimov's most famous works were all about the relationship between man and machine—I think it might be more of a general Fantastic Racism than a metaphor for real-world racial profiling by law enforcement. But it's an interesting topic... I'd like to hear what others think.

It only makes me like the movie more than I already did to be honest. Adds a whole new spin on it that I never really thought of before.

CONVERSE ALLSTARS.

Ordinary People; it was for psych. We finished the movie before spring break and I had to rewatch it when I got back because I didn't do the accompanying assignment.

The Hobbit

John Dies At The End. John is HAWT.

Porn of the Dead (2006): Nothing says erotic like a decomposing woman biting off and eating a man's penis after rough sex with him.

Back to the Future Part 3: I liked it as much as 2, though both aren't as good as one.

As for my opinion of the series as a while; well, other than the exact laws and nature of time travel being weirdly inconsistent, at times it's still good. All three are must-see classics, no doubt 'bout it.

The Devil in Miss Jones Four - the Final something or other.

Squicky even by my standards.

The new Evil Dead.

Never going in the fuckin' woods again.
