Post the Twenty-Second: Movie Night III

Today was the second movie night -- no, wait, third -- of the summer. It was lots of fun. We were initially going to do an apocalypse theme, buuut for some reason the DVDs didn't burn properly, so we just walked over to D-Video and rented a couple we wanted to watch instead. We were going to rent the same movies but we're like "Ehhh fuck it."

First we watched A Muppets' Christmas Carol (chosen by Kieran). It was lots of fun. Now before you go judging us, we had Disney night last week and it was a blast. We're all secretly 5 years old. Plus there was lots of jokes and laughter about WOAHHHH ACID TRIP.

Then we watched Persepolis (also chosen by Kieran). I had never heard of it before but they assured me it was good. It's a French animated movie about an Iranian girl growing up during the Iranian Revolution. It's quite good and surprisingly hilarious.

Then we watched Dragonball Evolution (chosen by Daniel mostly, although it was a group consensus). YES. YES WE DID. xD We picked it out for laughs. It was so amazing...ly bad. It was just... wow. Amazing. Words cannot describe how kitschy it was. Lots of laughter. Susan kept pointing out plot holes but we basically said SHUT UP, JUST ROLL WITH IT.

Finally we watched Shaun of the Dead (my choice, and originally part of the apocalypse theme). It was great as always, ended the night on a good note. Noticed a couple of things I hadn't noticed before that people pointed out. I always like that about watching movies with a bunch of people, you see it through multiple pairs of eyes.

Anyways, they just went home about 20 minutes ago. My head kind of hurts, I'm pretty tired, but I'm happy. It was a gooood night.

So, I realize I missed yesterday's thingy. I'm supposed to post a Youtube video. So, I shall.



Cutest video ever? Perhaps.

And for today's, I'm supposed to do whatever I fancy. So, I shall talk about a comic I like!

Blankets by Craig Thompson is SO. FUCKING. GOOD. It's like 600 pages and I read it in 1 day. In like 3 hours. It's so good. It's about this teenager who is very religious and is a bit of a social misfit, and he meets this girl and falls madly in love with her. The story is about him trying to balance his religious conviction with his growing view of the world and his intense love for this girl. It shows the evolution of his character. It's REALLY good, really funny and touching and also extremely fascinating. I'd highly, HIGHLY recommend it.
