Sep. 26th, 2003 10:02 pmYes, we have actual conversations like this...
Driving alongside Twin Creek Cinema, to see what times 'The Rundown' would be airing tonight we also took a gander at the Coming Attractions posters outside.
Tom: ::eying a poster for 'Timeline':: "That movie looks really cool! We gotta see it."
Me: "You're just saying that because there are explosions in the background. You can't tell what the heck it's about otherwise."
This being one of the vaguest movie posters I've ever seen. Dark background with streaks of explosions, and various headshots of what I presume to be the leads scattered across it, and the title.
Tom: "There are explosions! That's all I need to know! I'd go see 'Under the Tuscan Sun'," ::sneers in said poster's general direction:: "if it had explosions... Italy is cool!"
Me: "Tom-chan.... you didn't even know it was *in* Italy until I explained to you that Tuscan was a reference to Tuscany, a region in Italy... Hell, you probably thought it was about Tuskan frikking Raiders until I told you that! How can you say you think Italy is cool when you know squat about it?"
Tom: ::disturbing gleam in his eyes:: "Now THAT is a movie I'd pay to see!"
Me: "........."
Tom: "Yeah! Guy and a girl doing all that gooey chick-flick stuff about their feelings and how gorgeous and cultural Italy is..... Then suddenly" ::girly voice:: "Honey I love you... gasp, what's that?" ::his rendition of a gay/whipped male voice:: "What's wha-"
Then an unearthly shriek comes out of my mate's throat, perfectly imitating those wierd noises the Raiders make, and their animals, and their wierd weapons. I'll spare you the rest of the details, especially since I was by this point laughing too damn hard to remember it all. He had a whole routine going.
'The Rundown' was a frikking **cool** movie! You have to see it. Funny bits, kick-ass action scenes, excellent acting on all sides, plot twists, excellent location, and really breath-taking stunts. I'm still bouncing.
