remember when we were told never to use our names on the internet? I now try and claim my name wherever I can (and in some cases, like facebook, someone got it an hour before me… grrr).
here on tumblr is one of the few anonymous places - even if you aren’t trying to be. I happen to use “icopythat” - which is a very searchable handle. but there are other tumblrs authored by … well, I have no idea.
is there a way to find out who is writing?
Casting ended early. so,
I saw a double header tonight - it was raining, and thought why not catch a movie. So, the only one starting when I got there was Terminator - fine, I even watch the show. I am a nerd. It was a useless movie. nothing cool or shocking. dumb.
then, my mistake was seeing another. Just down the hall was the taking of pelham 1 2 3. Now, I have seen the original - it is cute, cliche ridden, fun, funny, and dumb - but it doesn’t promise to be anything more. Now the remake is cliche ridden and dumb. the action and twists were terrible, and it was the highest budget for a movie with two sets - a train car and a room with some computer screens. no one knew how to use a walkie talkie (you have to press the button… and two people can’t talk at the same time - it’s not a phone), you could see the reflections of set lights in glasses, it was obvious, painful, and had nothing gratifying about it. it was terrible and pointless.
I still couldn’t bring myself to sneak into transformers - there is no way I am even coming close to paying for that.
