I saw Watchmen Friday night. Regular theater, not Imax, but I'm seeing it in Imax on the 20th with Lauren so it's quite alright. :3

Actually, I almost didn't see it. I called home after class on Friday, chatted with my mom about... something, I dunno, then asked how much Imax tickets generally are. She asked why I wanted to know, I said I'm seeing it with Lauren during her spring break and was just curious. Mom's all, "Oh, Dad and Adam and Alex and Kevin are seeing it tonight. It's not in Imax though-" and I was all, "WHAT? AND NO ONE INVITED ME?" So I hung up on her and called Dad and asked why he didn't tell me they were seeing Watchmen. He was all, "Oh, but you're always out on Fridays." I was all, "WATCHMEN, FOR THE LOVE OF GOD. I AM PROBABLY THE ONLY PERSON IN THIS FAMILY WHO'S READ THE GRAPHIC NOVEL. YOU CAN'T MAKE SILLY ASSUMPTIONS. D:" Dad says Alex is getting the tickets and he calls him to see if he can get one for me. He can. :) Then Mom picks me up after work, makes us a quick dinner, and we're out of there by 6:00 to see the 7:00 show at Westbury Stadium.

So. The movie. I loved it. Love love love love love. The opening credits were just awesome and stuck with me more than anything else, haha. Bob Dylan certainly helped.

But, yeah, I cannot even begin to describe the awesome. This is definitely one of those movies that's kinder to the people who know the story already, so I enjoyed it very much. I recognized so many panels. <3 Of course, Adam and Kevin didn't like it ("There wasn't enough action, this movie sucks, waaaaah") and their dislike turned me into a Watchmen snob. I CALLED THEM PLEBES, HOLY SHIT.

I have to admit though, by the end it was kinda anticlimactic, but it didn't bother me as much as it bothered Adam and Kevin. I went home very happy. I can't wait to see it again!

Rest of my weekend was chill. Family party on Saturday at Aunt Sue's. Hung out with the adults 'cause Ricky and Kristi and Johnny were all working, haha. Pretty fun, actually.

Today was depressing. :D Mostly because I just hate Sundays in general. You know, you have the rest of the week ahead of you and you have to wake up early and all that the next morning... ugh. Watched "Manos" The Hands of Fate and did Latin homework. :/ Dinner at home, then got back to the dorm and played Tomb Raider: Angel of Darkness before Mass. I HATE THIS GAME. I AM NOT EVEN 15 MINUTES IN AND I HATE IT.

Oh, by the way, I've been ordering a lot of shit, and it all came in. So I have a new MST3K DVD, Repo! on DVD, Susie Q on DVD, an Arsene Lupin book, and a new PS2 controller. Gooood stuff.

So, yeah, gotta dry my hair, then bed. G'night~!

Dude. I have a snow day tomorrow. First time in, what, three years? Four?

And I just watched Repo! again. I'm craving genfic about Nathan but I can only find fics with shipping. :/ Bah. Actually, genfic with Graverobber would be awesome, too. I mean, he's kind of crazy in his own special way. Someone could write about his adventures. I'd try it myself, but all my fanfic turns to humor and then I'm full of self-loathing. Like Nathan! :D

Mm. Aaanyway. I dunno whether to go to bed or watch So Weird. Hmmmmm.

So Weird it is.

If it isn't too ridiculous outside tomorrow, maybe I'll walk to the bookstore and buy some Barnes and Noble giftcards and buy the Repo! DVD online with them. That sounds like fun times.

So yeah. G'night and all that, yo.

SCAFFU was fucking awesome.

First of all, there were people there! Besides me and Brad! Mike was there, and Andrew, and that other kid whose name might be James but I really can't remember, and there was a new girl but she wasn't the other new girl from last time. :D

The meeting started out as usual. Namely, "Hey guys, let's watch cartoons!" We watched an episode of KaBlam! and then Brad wanted to play the trailer for Crank 2, which led to us watching trailers for GI Joe and Dragonball. And then Mike was all, "Guys. Let's watch Repo! The Genetic Opera. I've watched it twice already 'cause it's that good!" So... we watched it.

Now, I had heard about Repo through fandomsecrets. I wasn't really interested in it, but hey, why not watch it? I usually like most movies I watch.

And guess what? I totally fell in love.

It certainly wasn't perfect but... oh God, it was good. The music was awesome. Some songs were... well, not that good or memorable, but I loved most of them. And duuude. Giles from Buffy. He was so amazing. And I loved that grave robber guy's voice. It was delicious. And there was very little Paris Hilton! Yayz.

Plot was unique, too. Basically, in the future, there are widespread organ failures. Evil Guy creates company that gives people organ transplants and if you miss your payments a repo man takes your organs back by force. Giles dude is a repo man. His daughter doesn't know and he tries to keep her from knowing. He keeps her from the outside world in general, really, and keeps her locked in her room. There is backstory about her mom which results in Evil Guy wanting to make the daughter his heir as part of some twisted revenge thing. Oh, and his kids are wackjobs so he doesn't want them inheriting his company. :P STUFF HAPPENS. AND THERE ARE FLYING ORGANS! DID I MENTION GILES IS AWESOME?

So, um, yeah. :D You should totes see it. The gore isn't that bad and GILES IS IN IT AND HE'S AWESOME.

Aaanyway, gotta finish my laundry. Maybe bed after that if I don't watch So Weird. Which I'm definitely going to watch now that I reminded myself about it.

'Night~
