So, I may well be the only person in the world who enjoyed The Happening so...just bear that in mind. The reviewers on rotten tomatoes hates it good (19% overall at the moment) and every personal blog review of it I've seen has been poor. *shrug*
I have to wonder though, everyone's got a lot of vitriol for this movie, calling it
tripe and all, but I suppose it's because everyone loved Sixth Sense so very much. People don't get all bitter about the latest Scary Movie or whatever, because they were never any good. I guess people just got disappointed?
Whatever, I still liked it.
In other, less roundly hated movie news, check out Rolling thunder the incredibly geeky roleplaying movie I was filmed for on Saturday. It's pretty darn hilarious...although maybe not so much if you have no familiarity with gaming at all.
Work was crazy amounts of busy today with a bunch of people off sick, so I got pretty stressed answering the phones more or less constantly. I had a bath when I got home though and that seems to have chilled me out sufficiently.
I am reading Alanna: the first adventure again for the first time in years and years. Man it's good. It's like the world's best comfort food. I am a little cringey at the quality of the writing (so first novel-y!) but I love it all the same. Now, how to get myself a jewelled wizard's rod like the one Roger waves in Alanna's face in that one scene?
