MOVIE-WATCHIN' UPDATE
It's been a while since I posted my reviewlettes of movies we rent, so here's a start on catching up:
Firefly: Discs 1-4, 2002The best show ever. Rent it now. Watch it. Love it.
The Doom Generation, 1995This is a b-movie, and it was almost fun and stupid, but then it ended up being gross and stupid which I didn't like. I don't like gross. Stupid can be OK. It's a very L.A. movie, with cameos from Margaret Cho, Parker Posey, Dustin Nguyen (from 21 Jump Street), and probably a bunch of other people I didn't notice. It stars Rose McGowan, which is a never a good thing unless you're a guy and want to see her boobies.
Old School, 2003Hmmm. Hmmm. I know I'm supposed to like this. I'm in the demographic and all. And it was funny, particularly Vince Vaughan. But it didn't quite work for me. I probably would have liked it a lot better if I had seen it in a theater full of laughing people. I liked everything except for the frat stuff -- which kind of put me at a disadvantage since that's most of the movie.
Menace II Society, 1993This is a strange genre that they don't really seem to make anymore. I was tense watching this movie because I knew nothing good was going to happen in the end. And it's one of those movies that makes me feel like the world is a horrible place. I know this already, so I don't need it in my entertainment.
