i think ima start doin a blog on sumthin gary suggested...
since i watch so many movies, i (he) thought it would be a good idea if i started giving some reviews of the movies i get...kina like jus tellin u what i think etc...(of course most of u should know what "review" means so that last part was prolly unnecessary)

this one is for...."Final Destination"

it stars the guy from "Idle Hands", and the guy who drinks the icky beer in "American Pie" as well as the "girl who makes it out of "The House On Haunted Hill".

i watched the dvd version which has tons of special features including deleted scenes, alternate ending, a psychic test, and a "death clock" (exact date and time of yer supposed demise)
ok..quick rundown of the plot...a high school french class is set 2 go on a school trip 2 france...40 students and 4 teachers is what the tv news woman says but i only remember seeing 2 teachers...newayz..they get on the plane and are all ready 2 go but our hero gets the willies bout the plane n freaks out, getting himself and 5 of his classmates and one teacher kicked off just before the plane takes off... in the terminal as the 7 of them scream and hit each other about how and why they got thrown off the plane, off in the distance we see the plane explode in mid-air...is he psychic?..is he a freak?...does he know when im gonna die?...these are all questions running thru the heads of the survivors of the flight as they all look at each other in jaw dropped, eyes wide disbelief (why none of them thought bout the fact that all their shit just blew up with that plane is beyond me..granted, at 18 i never went through a plane explosion, but at that age my shit was pretty important 2 me, n i know i woulda been pissed off as hell lookin at 5 to 6 months worth of my shit goin down in lil bitty flaming pieces into a body of water) but i digress...
as the movie goes on, we see that death is not done with our merry bunch of french travelers..o no...pretty soon (39 days from what the guy speakin at the memorial service says-why did they wait 39 days 2 have a memorial service?) the 7 survivors of flight 108 start dropping dead from various reasons...and then such mind boggling, deep questions start surfacing like...does death have a plan for us?...what if that was our time n now death is pissed off...can we cheat death...again?

totally deep shit for sum 18 year old french class flunkies if u ask me, but u din so ill move on

we watch as alex tries to outsmart death at every turn..will he succeed, will he fail?...will he get laid? (u dvd renters/buyers will find out the answer 2 that question, vhs pplz will hafta break down and buy a dvd player =))

all in all, i thought it was a pretty good movie, as teen horror flix go...high on the slash-o-meter...i won't say what exactly was high about it cuz that would give away sum pretty tasty surprises...but ill say this n leave it at that...where some movies cut away 2 the shadow on the wall, or the sun shining thru tree branches the next day as friends and family mourn their loss, this movie stays right in there, giving graphic close up details of what death might look like if u died in front of a camera...

would i recommend it?..yes...would i watch it again?..prolly...would i buy it?...not a chance

so there it is..my first movie review...gosh that was fun..ill hafta do that again..depending on how many new movies i rent a week, thats how many reviews ill do a week...this week i only rented the one, so thats all im doin..i aint gonna review a movie thats been out forever..that would just be silly...

n im not silly

What I Remember

i remember the first time i noticed u..jumping around in yer terrorist av shooting ppl
i remember the first time you im'd me..telling me i was inappropriate
i remember the first time i heard your voice
i remember the first time i heard you laugh
i remember the first and most romantic thing you said to me
i remember the first time you smiled at me
i remember the first time you kissed me
i remember the first time you held my hand
i remember the first time i saw you, hiding behind the sports section
i remember the first movie we watched together, laying on the floor of our new apartment
i don't remember the first time you said you loved me, but i remember the first time you didn't say it
i remember the first time we talked on the phone, about bad pizza and armadillos
i remember the first time i sang to you
i remember the first card you ever sent me
i remember the first time you told the world, on a web page, how you felt about me
i remember the first time you felt my forehead and took care of me when i was sick
i remember the first time you held me when i cried
i remember the thing you said was the first thought you had about me when we met
i remember you saying you couldn't get over my eyes
i remember the first time we fought
i remember the first time you got scared and i talked you through it
i remember the first time you called me princess, and how it grew on me
i remember the first morning you woke me up when you came home from work
i remember the first time we went online together
i remember the first time we went online apart
i remember the first time i met your family
i remember the first time you met mine
i remember the first time you called me, unannounced and how happy i was to hear your voice
i remember the first time we laid in the same bed, looking at each other forever

i remember the first time

i know exactly what you mean, queenie i wonder sometimes what goes through pplz minds that they hafta make a bee line for a phone as soon as they get home 2 call and complain because they had 2 wait an extra minute and a half to rent their cheesy porn movies...here's a good quote for you...

"when you do something right, no one remembers...when you do something wrong no one forgets"

that statement is one of the most true ive ever heard, specially in the customer service industry no one remembers when you go out of your way to go out and grab a copy of fight club because they couldnt find it when the title takes up a whole section on the wall ( i could be nasty and say they are just to lazy to go get it and get some sick kind of rush from wielding that power over ppl who have no choice but to drop whatever they are doing and go get it but i wont =)) but they sure remember when you wont credit off a late fee they got for it when they returned it too late..even though its posted all over the place when its due back...
sure, ive been served up a healthy dose of attitude by ppl in my time, but u get over it..maybe they are having a bad day..havnt you ever had a bad day?...been so sick that you couldnt even stand but went to work anywayz..had your boss yell at you for something that the shmuck in the next cubicle over did over a week ago that they are just getting around to noticing?

here's an equally notable quote that i like 2 remember when the person behind the counter is just a wee bit 2 short with me...

"If this is the worst thing that happens to me for the rest of my life, I'll have had a pretty good run of it."

maybe more ppl should remember that the next time they are at their local grocery store with only one girl working and she has a line 2 the back of the store and forgets to give you your change...
