first:

comes out September 16th

*drool*

second:

not much has been happening with me,

I've been sick for the past few days,

which means I've just been sitting home coughing and masturbating

the only thing that differentiates it from normality is the coughing

the only reason I'm really writing this is as a note to Steph:

I've got a doctor's appointment tomorrow at 1:30 which I just found out about a couple hours ago, so I can't see the movie with you guys

but since I like writing in my diary, I'm going to use this time to bitch about several things I've been meaning to bitch about but haven't really felt like it;

first: The 28 Days Later Rant I mentioned a couple times has been cancelled

I was meaning to bitch about how it wasn't really a Zombie Movie because the "infecteds" weren't really zombies

but the more I thought about it, I eventually realized that under a certain definition; yes, they are (barely)zombies

great movie

fantastic movie

but I'm still quite begrudging about the barely-zombie-dom of it

but speaking of Zombie Movies; as some of you may have heard: Dawn of the Dead is getting remade

and the worst part is, I think I'm gonna have to see it

I don't want to see it

and I'm quite pissed that they're re-making it

but I think I might have to see it

because I saw a little bit of it being made during an MTV News dealie a few days ago, and I started to get excited

but on to the bitching;

I don't even know where to begin

first: remakes of classic movies suck

I don't want this film to be re-made

that sucks

second: the guy from Bad Boys is directing it

no!

the only people that could get away with directing this are A)Tom Savini(who remade Night of the Living Dead)/(yes, he was the makeup artist on both DotD and NotLD[and Day of the Dead, but that's neither here nor there]); B)the guy who directed 28 Days Later; or C)George Romero himself

thirdly: this was the second film in a trilogy

not that I want them to remake Night of the Living Dead(although, as I mentioned, Tom Savini did)

but it doesn't make sense

this situation is the equivalent of: someone else besides George Lucas remaking Empire Strikes Back because some Star Wars rip-off hit it big at the box office

fourthly: they're using fast zombies

that sucks

I always liked the slow, shambling walking dead

I mean, they're the re-animated dead; they're not supposed to be fast!

they've got rigor mortis and the lack of a beating heart working against them

they're not supposed to be able to run and shit

I had a whole long argument planned for this one; but I'll spare you

I think that's it; but I'm still pissed off

why can't they just make a new Zombie Movie and call it something else?

just from the minute bit I saw on the MTV thing I mentioned; they've already butchered the plot

why bother keeping the name of an already-made classic if it's got almost nothing in common?

that just sucks

the sad thing is; if they had named it something else, I would be jumping up and down and screaming with glee because someone's making a new Zombie Movie(even if the zombies do move fast)

but since they're "re-imagining" Dawn of the Dead

I'm going to hate it

even if I do end up seeing it, which I probably will

OK, moving on

damnit, now I'm all pissed off from that

calm down,

deep, healing breaths

OK, I'm cool

now, where was I?

I saw Interpol perform on TV tonight

(this entry is named for the song they played)

man they're a good band

and the singer sounds a lot like Ian Curtis live

speaking of music,

it turns out tAtu was a gimmick

I got it from a semi-reliable source; something on MSN

I don't know what that means, but it's just nice to know for sure

I had a nice joke planned about that, but I'm going to save it because I'm not doing the rant because there's no real reason to

basically: it was a gimmick, they're straight, I really have no emotional stake in the matter, *shrug*

also, I found out why that Bush song is called "glycerine", and I like it that much more now

see, 'cause glycerine is what they put on actor's faces in movies to simulate tears

nifty, huh?

moving on; I just realized that there is a whole big picture to the side of the space where the type is on the layout Sindy made for me

I don't know how bright you guys have your moniters set, so I don't know how much of the picture I can describe to you, so if you can't see it all, turn the brightness up

see, the brightness was set so low on my moniter(and I have turned it back to that) that all I could really see was James' head/torso and a bit of the door; and that light above him, which I couldn't figure out what the fuck it was(and the words, of course)

but then I turned up the brightness on my moniter and I found out it's a picture of James in this one room of the hospital

of course, like I said, I turned the brightness back down; but it's nice to know what that thing(the light) was

crap, I could've sworn I had something else to talk about; but now it seems that's it

I suppose I did spend more than enough time bitching about the Dawn of the Dead "re-make"

which is starting to piss me off again just by mentioning

but I do have a doctor's(gastro-intestinal specialist to be exact; it's just easier to call him "my doctor") appointment tomorrow

which is going to suck ass

I loathe going to see this guy

I have to wait literally hours in his damn office

then he sees me for ten minutes, apathetically half-listens to what I'm telling him

gives me some half-assed "solution" to my problem, and sends me on my way

plus he's a real jerk about it

but I have some things I needed wrapped up; and my insurance won't let me get a new specialist

so blah

that sucks

maybe I'll have something to talk about tomorrow

ha, right

Sweet Dreams
