I'm sorry, did I break your concentration
Jun. 8th, 2008 08:16 pmSaw "You Don't Mess With the Zohan" today with the usual suspects. Even though the trailer looked incredibly stupid (but still better than the Love Guru), the reviews were generally favorable and it was apparently written by Judd Apatow. So we were willing to give it a chance. It was okay. The funniest parts definitely weren't in the trailer (thankfully, given how awful the movie looked from the trailer). There were several scenes that got a big chuckle. And hey, Emmanuelle Chriqui is pretty hot.
Afterwards, had dinner at Carrabas. Hadn't eaten there in the longest time. I think the last time I went there was when we first ate out with![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
psyched_out's future wife, and Kansas tried to convince her that we were going out together.
Anyways, since I don't watch reality TV, I only recently learned not only is Bruce Jenner the dad of one of the kids from the Hills, he's also Kim Kardasian's stepfather? I don't know why I find those facts incredibly weird. I guess because when I think of Bruce Jenner, I think of the Olympics and that episode of Silver Spoons where he helps someone cope with Dyslexia, having suffered with it himself.
Started reading some Hack/Slash. It seems like an interesting series. Its about a girl, Cassie, who's mom was a "Slasher", i.e. a supernatural killer like in the movies. Cassie survives her mom's killing spree and slays her, and now she teams with a Jason/Michael Myers-esque giant of man named Vlad hunting other Slashers. Its a kinda amusing series. Cassie's a little Buffy-ish, though more gothy in her style of dress and a surlier attitude.
Other comics I've been reading? Wanted. As I've said before, the movie seems to be a matrix on steroids actioner with Mr. Tumnus as a super bad-ass, under the tutelage of Angelina Jolie and working for Morgan Freeman. They're part of a "fraternity of assassins" who kill for the greater good. Which is nothing like the comic, which is about a world where supervillains beat all the superheroes and re-wrote reality to wipe everyone's memories of the existence of both groups while the supervillains now ruled the world from behind the scenes.
From what I've gotten through so far, I don't think they could make a movie based on the actual plot, as it would be terribly offensive. Unlike the movie, that portrays the main character as a bored corporate wage slave who learns he's a super bad-ass and starts using his powers for good to kill bad guys, the protagonist in the comic upon learning of his bad-assedness, starts using his powers for evil and claw his way out of the ennui he's been feeling, indulging his darkest fantasies.
