cant sleep
I dunno why but I can't sleep. Strange really, I rarely have this problem. I woke up really hot about 2amish and had to shut off one of the pcs. Typically I leave one on all the time. I dunno, maybe a bad habbit but usually doesnt do any harm. Got the fan running in the room but even then i couldnt get back to sleep. Woke up again about now, 4amish having woken up via dream about a tidal wave. I think its because of a scene in Shaolin Soccer where the main guy kicks the ball and it has this massive wave effect hitting the goal. I dunno.
So I'm up. I saw 28 Days Later on friday, creepy Zombie Nation type flick. Overall I liked it but it got to military all gun ho at the end.. I wanted more zombies. Directed by the guy that did Trainspotting and Shallow Grave (a dan film must have classic) it has good feel to it more so than yer typical horror flick. The screenplay is decent and the characters well developed as from Mark, sorry about that man. That scene alone makes the movie worth while. I mean just the introduction and well, end of Mark makes for a good flick. Jim our lead character is a good lead and endures the zombie onslaught and shows off his own zombie like ways toward the end. Was iit as good as say.. Resident Evil? Different.. its more "wtf is happening" where is Resident Evil is more high tech gameboy here is whats going to happen. You get less clues in 28 Days Later and an alternate ending if you stay past the credits. Resident Evil had bad things inside cages.. and well in 28 Days everyones got infection!! Run!! Or as the good doctor said "don't free those chimps.. they are infected with rage!". Another thing I liked about 28 Days is that the characters are smart and aware as to typical bad things to do, well, once they learn a lesson or two. So in aspects of when you basically want to say "dont do that you moron!!" the characters themselves say that as well. Kinda nice really to have good smart thinking people who will die vs the lame I dunno type folks that usually die. And when the scares do happen, you don't usually expect them all together and they happen fast. The director plays with alot of sped up camera moves and does ranges of highspeed and slowmo work too. It makes zombies really freaky on the screen. Its a cheap work around that works better than an overly used cgi effect being needed.
On sunday I saw Pirates of the Yadda Dadda.. and I thought it was ok. Johnny Depp is the only reason to watch the flick, his performance is excellent but I found the movie overall to be kinda draggin. I guess i've seen too many movies this summer. It just wasn't the blockbuster I thought it would be. Before and after Pirates, I caught about beginning and end of Shaolin Soccer. Ya know the english dub they put on it really works. Its asian american type voices.. heh. Anyways, I found myself laughing all the time. That's just a great movie and its nice to see it on the big screen. I think I liked it better than Pirates.. lol. Least I laughed and enjoyed it more so.
A few weeks back I saw BadBoys2. Now the story is kinda subpar lame but the production value on it.. very cool. Lotta fast boats, great tech, cops that own ferrai's etc.. ya ok that last one is a joke but this movie has the best action sequences in it for the summer say next to Matrix Reloaded. The miami highway car chase is intense, very well done, tons of carnage. The hummer thru dope houses, another good carnage scene, the bad guys gettin blow the !@#!! up.. all good, the dumb story and sappy comedy.. a let down.
Now about the only movie I'm looking forward to aside from Matrix Revolutions is Underworld, which should be here in a few weeks. I really really REALLY liked the teaser trailer for this flick, the actual trailer is ok too but the music they put in the teaser was just perfect, reminded me of Dark City. The whole flick just feels good.. heh. We'll see if it will be any good.
Woah.. how'd I miss this one? Mau Mau Sex Sex?

28 Days, alternate ending, tell details. Clint and I went to see 28 Days long ago when it first came out... liked it but we didn't get alternative ending as that was just added recently so what was it!?

Did you stay after the credits? Supposedly there is three alternate endings to the film. They had them tacked on after the credits at various stages of release.
The ending's I saw were, 1st one attached to the main film was Jim recovers, they all live in the valley and make a big HELLO for the airforce to come see. The 2nd ending after the credits is Jim going to the hospital, Salena freaking out on what drugs to put in him and Jim dies, Hanna asks what we gonna do, Salena says "we move". They grab their guns and leave. Kinda depressing heh, but a bit more accurate given we are talking about INFECTION!!

partially for, and potentially by, music people. I want to read the book it was adapted from, ambien too...the original setting of London as opposed pharmalogies to Chicago is bound to read differently. Doing soma this would be a good exercise. That brings me soma around to another point: I like exercises. I cialis don't like that I like them, but that's the propecia way it is. I understand their usefulness. Often, tramadol a formalised exercise helps me to crack a block tramadol of some kind, and often affords a new way to zyrtec see something. It's a way of playing with the prozac
