Saw Gattaca for the first time yesterday — fantastic.

That's a good movie .

I also really like it, enough to own it. There's just something about a semi-dystopia that's fun to watch but not to live in.

I find it doesn't hold up as well anymore in terms of where we are now with technology. I was able to put that aside but my kid not as much.

I agree with that sign.

I agree with that sign.

For real.

Rick O'Connell would kick Nick Morton's ass.

Just watched Alien: Covenant. What the fuck was that?

Was so looking forward to it. But hell what a clusterfuck.

Anyone in the States seen the Dark Tower yet? The reviews seem a bit average at best.

The boss and I watched Disney's Snow White just now, the first time in decades for each of us. Stray observations:
- if that huntsman does his damned job—you know, killing, which he's doubtless done dozens of times—there's no story. So, incompetence drives the narrative.
- what the hell is up with the dwarves, mining gems yet living like paupers? Are the gems owed to their baron or whatever? Don't they get a cut? No way they should be that poor when they are literally hauling out diamonds and emeralds.
- dig that royal prerogative that Snow White can waltz into someone's home and just take charge
- hey, didn't Doc et al warn SW that the queen was an evil witch and to be wary of strangers? One hour later: oh, hi, old woman, sure I'll eat that apple you're really pushing. Too stupid to live.
- ah, thank god a white man wearing lipstick came along to set things right
- and where the fuck is her father the king in all this? Hey, my daughter and wife are both missing. Should I look for them? Nah, too busy going on crusades or some shit, I guess. I hope Prince Charming there slashes his throat when they get back to the castle.
- more generally, there is a shitload of filler in this movie. Cut out the cooking and cleaning scenes and we're easily under an hour.

Her father is dead, right? Like in Cinderella.

Saw The Grey this weekend. So, um, the wolves are, like, a metaphor, right?

May that was in the prologue and we missed it.
