Other Weekend Weekendiness
So ... some other things happened this weekend!
I saw The Faint and Ladytron at The Orange Peel on Friday night! The show was pretty awesome even if the opening act (Crocodiles) was kinda crappy. The dynamics of the bands was kinda fun to see. The Faint was totally frenetic and all over the stage ... whereas Ladytron was very subdued in their presentation.
And ... this Thursday I get to see Mogwai at The Peel!!!
A couple of movies got viewed off Netflix as well. And both were better than I thought they would be.
"Quarantine" is soooooooo much better than the trailer or advertising would lead you to believe. I must confess that I was curled up in a fetal position on the couch for much of the end of the movie. Now I really want to see "REC," the Spanish movie on which "Quarantine" is based.
"Vacancy," while not the greatest movie ever made, was fun and entertaining. A nice "put your brain on hold" kinda movie with a few nice scares.
In other news ...
I was a total bad boy and ordered too much Dr. Who on DVD today!
Bad Packaging!!!
It's nice to see that I am not the only one who thinks that the packaging for "The Simpsons: The Complete 11th Season" is total shite.

Meanwhile … The Evil Continues
So, I just finished watching Neil LaBute's disastrous remake of "The Wicker Man." I know you are gonna say that I should have known it was gonna be bad going in. Well, I did ... but I wasn't quite prepared for just how bad it is. Poor Mr. LaBute really does need to get some nice female role models in his life as the baddies in this film are a society of male hating (and sacrificing) women. Shocker! The movie definitely does have some camp value to it though. Below you can see the best parts. Oh, the hilarity of it all!
