Heads Exploding

broderic on April 5, 2007

If you had asked me when the action flick, Shooter, first came out to watch it, I would’ve told you that 40 horses couldn’t drag me to see that film. I’m glad I changed my mind.

I caught it this evening, and enjoyed every minute of it. It’s got more heads exploding than Scanners. Every victim died from a bullet to the head shot from a mile to mere inches. You knew everytime someone would peak their head out that it was going to explode in a gush of blood.

Nothing but heads exploding!

And I laughed from the absurdity of it all.

Does that make me psychotic?

3 of 5 stars.

March Sadness

I’ve been out of my tournament pools since the end of the second round (Louisville and Texas mutha fuckers!), so it was with much chagrin to find out that it’s Flordida-Ohio State in the final.

And the world yawns.

Question. If it’s March Madness why does it end in April?

Rom Coms?

Tossing and turning last night so I put on Can’t Buy Me Love to help me to get to sleep. Loved that movie as a kid. It’s pretty stupid. Yet I feel that’s a classic. Whatever happened to Amanda Peterson? She fell off the face of the earth or what?

Anyway, I was thinking about why there isn’t any good romantic comedies. There’s plenty, but I don’t like much. Maybe it’s just me. I get so cynical about it that light-hearted screen gems don’t do much for me.

“But you’re not kissing a married woman.”

Tossing and turning throughout the night. It was too hot, because it was too cold. My furnace was running all night long. I woke up at 3. I woke up at 5. I woke up at 8.

It was when I was waking up at 8 did I get another dream. With I. I thought I was through with her. Yet the heat got to me.

She’s visiting. I don’t really know why. Knowing what I know about her I ask, “How’s your little girl?” “She’s good.” And we’re off talking about her family.

Yet, we end up in an embrace. She’s on my lap now, and I am kissing her half-hearted.

“I don’t feel comfortable kissing a married woman with kids.”

“But you’re not kissing a married woman.” She wants me to show her how.

And we embrace in an even more passionate way.

I miss that. The feel of a woman. Their body next to yours.

Why do I feel the need to write these down? Why do I post them on the internet? Anyway, I thought the quote was great, something Barbara Stanwyck would say.

Shopping for a digital camera

My old one had died sometime last autumn. I’m thinking about getting a dSLR, but I really like to have a small one so as to keep it upon me at all times.

Can’t really figure out what I should do. Or get.

Perhaps a cheap micro one, and a really nice dSLR.

Anyway, check out the reviews at this site.
