152 insights into my soul

So, the ex-roomie had mentioned the Ben Affleck movie Paycheck and how he doesn't think he saw it in the theaters. Which is weird because I definitely saw it in the theaters, and back then it would be very likely he would be there for that. But I scoured the LJ archives around the time it came out (Christmas 2003, apparently), and the movie was possibly so boring I didn't post about it.

Which is doubly weird, because I mention seeing Torque mid January with K. So I would've thunk Paycheck would've gotten some mention. Anyways, looking through that time period, that was the same year Scotto came up to visit NYC and we saw Mamma Mia and Rent. So I prolly would not have had time for a movie (and if I did see a movie with the fam, it would most likely be RotK, not Paycheck)

But yeah, I didn't realize the day long LotR trilogy marathon, Scotto in NY, me developing cataracts and the trip to the Philippines with the parents and Tita J were within a few months of each other. I guess that's one thing bad about having not posted here in a long time, there's whole swaths of my life unrecorded. Not that I do anything exciting, particularly as of late. Its just go to work, play games/photograph transformers/surf the web/watch TV, repeat. But that also means there's whole seasons of shows uncommented on!

Heh, like apparently that time period was 1st season of the OC. And one of the posts that month was commenting on how Hailey was hot. Which, I know I definitely found her hot as Van Pelt on the Mentalist, but I don't recall feeling that strongly about her on the OC. I guess it might be since she was Kirsten's sister, she was more involved in the parents storyline. That and she was on the show for such a short time, comparatively. So I suppose she wouldn't have been memorable to me as Summer, Taylor, Lindsay, or Kaitlyn.

TV commentary:

Hannibal- ( spoiler cut )

So, since I finished up the latest eps Ted Lasso and the Boys before dinner yesterday, got around to starting Hannibal. I didn't know Marina from The Magicians/Kojo Sledgehammer from Arrow was a major character in this, or at least the first season. (Or if I did, I promptly forgot) Its interesting so far, I did not expect Hannibal to be taking such... an active role in things right from the start. I assumed he would be like a mystery, or playing things low key. But he's just like killing people left and right!

Heh, I also remember people joking about him making puns while tricking people into eating people and making veiled threats about them being a later meal. I just didn't realize how overtly ridiculous they were about it.

TV Commentary:

The Boys- I'm sure these first three eps is a roller coaster for folks particularly concerning Stormfront. ( spoiler cut )
