Shlup

I haven't moved from this chair for three weeks.

Yup. That's about it. Crazy, right? I have to get up and, like, just move every hour or so because sitting this long makes me feel like dying.

Orders have been slow for the last few days--only like ten or so instead of 20 or so. I might actually catch up soon. I've been dangling Skyward Sword in my own face like a carrot.

Here are the movies I've watched so far this week:

50/50 - Young guy has super bad cancer.
This had just enough funny in it to keep me from killing myself, and I liked the cast.

A Good Old Fashioned Orgy - A fairly average group of adult friends decide to have an orgy.
Something is wrong with me for sitting through this. It's like I'm trying to pretend I'm watching a comedy when I know quite well that I'm really watching porn. Don't make the same mistake I did--save yourself some well-deserved shame and just go to RedTube.

Bad Teacher - Some chick with a weird face is a terrible teacher.
I may be more inclined to like it because I was a teacher, but I definitely thought it was better than I had heard it was. There were some major flaws, but overall I thought it was entertaining.

Batman: Year One - Bruce's first year as Batman.
It was more interesting than I thought it would be, though I don't think all that much happened. I didn't really care for the depiction of Catwoman.


Camille - Guy is blackmailed into marrying childhood friend. She dies but they go on their honeymoon anyway.
There is not a single moment in this movie that makes any sense. But not in that mental disorder way that reminds you of your last LSD trip, just in a kind of... everyone's acting normal but you don't know why way. I don't know. I liked it despite it's kind of failed attempt at whimsy.

Dangerous Beauty - Unable to marry her noble lover, a peasant girl strives to be Venice's greatest hooker.
Oh man this movie is hot. It's like a romance novel but you actually get to see the boobs. And it says it's based on a true story so I can pretend I have some historical interest here.

Falling Angels - General family dysfunction.
It's good. Like the mom is crazy and the dad is one of those manly men who don't know how to cope with tit without pissing everyone off. The daughters each cope along the course of a different teenage stereotype.

Forks Over Knives - Documentary. Eat plants.
Informative without really pushing vegetarianism. Yes, vegans are often interviewed, but they're not all like "You must be vegan to surviiiive!"

Something Borrowed - Girl smurfs her best friend's fiances.
I usually watch romantic comedies because I don't really have to pay attention, but this one was pretty good. It wasn't as predictable as most, and the interaction between the characters didn't seem as forced as it does with most of the movies in this genre.

Tangled - At last I see the light~
Yeah I watched it again. And I sang along. And maybe I danced a little.

The Best and the Brightest - They want to get their four-year-old into one of those insane private kindergartens so they lie a lot.
I was bored, probably because I didn't really get their motivation at all. It goes into the realms of ridiculous and predictable too many times.

The Help - A historical fiction of negro maids in 1960s Jackson, Mississippi.
This level of socially acceptable racism never fails to blow my mind. This was good stuff, though I tend to be biased towards civil rights movies.

The House of Yes - Opposite-gender twins like to reenact the Kennedy assassination and then smurf.
The only thing holding this movie back from smurfed-up perfection is the horrible acting of Tori Spelling. Or maybe that adds to it.

Thor - The old gods are from another planet, apparently.
I thought Captain America would always be my least favorite Avengers movie. Nope.

What Dreams May Come - Robin Williams dies and is in Heaven. His wife kills herself and goes to Hell. He goes to get her.
One of the best depictions of love that I've seen in a movie. Despite the weird semi-pro-suicide message, Chris + Annie = OTP

Where the Wild Things Are - A glimpse into childhood psychosis.
This was exactly what I wanted it to be--none of that cheery family bulltit.
