	BlackChampagne -- no longer new; improvement also in question.: Movies to see... at home. Tuesday, August 30, 2005 Movies to see... at home. It's sort of pointless that I keep a list of upcoming movies to see, when we've got an ever-growing stack of DVDs lying here we have already paid for, but have never gotten around to watching. Today we picked up Constantine, Team America, and Elektra at a 3/$25 sale at Blockbuster. We've been waiting for Constantine since it was released and we passed up paying $20 for it. Was waiting 3 weeks worth saving $11? Would we even have found time to watch it yet if we'd paid for it then? We already had recent used purchases of The Transporter and Howard Stern's Private Parts, and a friend sent me a DVD rip of Saw, and three concert videos, two of NIN and one of Tool. There's also Kiki's Delivery Service, which Malaya got me for my b-day way back in June, we've had Galaxy Quest borrowed from a friend for like 6 months, Dog Soldiers which we bought for $3 on VHS and never watched, The King and I of which we watched one dance scene and nothing else, A Fish Called Wanda and Time Bandits, two movies I've loved for years but Malaya refuses to see. More recently we got National Treasure and Malaya never watched it, but since we saw it in the theaters and I took it to San Diego in June and watched it then with my dad, at least we've gotten some use out of it. Of all these purchases, the only one I feel a need to defend is Elektra. We never saw it in theaters, mostly since the amazingly-low 7% RT score scared us away. It's got martial arts (well, the watered-down movie version of them) in it though, and Malaya has lately hatched a burning desire to use Sais, the trident-shaped pokey things Elektra uses. Tuhan says she can get some if she wants and he'll work some training on them into her classes, and while we're perfectly aware that Elektra is going to be dreadful, at least we can skip around to the fight scenes and avoid the "JGa attempting to emote with her granite-like face" sections. On top of that, the Blockbuster sale was 3/$25, and we really wanted Team America and Constantine, and as always when we're trying for that sort of sale, we could not find a 3rd movie we wanted, even for free. And since picking out something depressing that's of actual quality (Million Dollar Baby, Mystic River, Sideways, etc) seems beyond us... it was cheesy action movie time. Damn the sais being right on the box cover! Posted by: Flux # 6:09 PM Comments: Kiki's delivery service was very dull. Nowhere near as good as Castle in the Sky. #: 11:02 PM posted by Anonymous How could anyone NOT want to see A fish called Wanda? Ok, so it's not monty python, but it's certainly a good movie! And as far as Sais are concerned, they are very cool. Check out Turtles for ideas on moves ;) #: 7:33 AM posted by Anonymous You...you procured a pirated copy of a movie?!?!? how *DARE* you! All those poor, poor industry employees aren't going to be able to feed their families without your $20! You should be deeply ashamed of yourself! ...Says the guy who has to date illegally obtained hundreds of dollars worth of games. cough #: 9:02 AM posted by Anonymous For what it's worth, I didn't find Sideways depressing. True, it's a slow, serious movie in a lot of parts, but the humor is pretty good. Of course, my wife hated the characters so much that she stopped watching after 30 minutes, so YMMV. #: 10:20 AM posted by Anonymous Post a Comment << Home Archives May 2005 June 2005 July 2005 August 2005 September 2005 October 2005 November 2005 December 2005 January 2006 February 2006 March 2006 April 2006 May 2006 June 2006 July 2006 August 2006 September 2006 October 2006 November 2006 December 2006 January 2007 February 2007 March 2007 April 2007 May 2007 June 2007 July 2007 August 2007 September 2007 October 2007 November 2007 December 2007 January 2008 February 2008 March 2008 April 2008 May 2008 June 2008 July 2008 August 2008 September 2008 October 2008 November 2008 December 2008 January 2009 February 2009 March 2009 April 2009 May 2009 June 2009 July 2009 August 2009 September 2009 October 2009 November 2012
