Underworld

Well, power was out tonight - ComEd didn't know when it would restore it....so I went to see a movie.

Underworld is a nice take on a Vampire flick! I'd say its worth the cost of admission.

Worth full cost or early show prices?

Any more I do the "wait till its on video or go to the first showing of the day for dirt cheap prices" thing with movies. I'm tired of spending $8 on a frigg'n movie.

I can get into a matinee at my local multiplex for like $4.50 with my student ID. Otherwise I can pay $4 any time at the second-run theater down the road, if I'm willing to wait a couple of weeks.

Ok, 50,000 students in this town...does the theater have a student discount? Fuck no! I go home to Sherman, a town of 30,000 people with a 3,000 student private college, do the theaters have student discounts? Yup!

Seem odd? Money grubbing sonsofbitches.

Living near Clemson University (the next best thing to an education) and watching how things are set up there, it looks to me like the whole town is in the business of screwing the students out of money. From restaraunts to parking fines it's slanted that way. I suppose that a lot if not all large college towns are that way.

I am not the man. But the man knows my name...and he's worried

Meh. It was okay- somewhat entertaining.

I got the feeling that the writers were sitting around going, "OK, what's worked before? Hmmm... Matrix! Yeah! The Matrix raked in the cash! What else? Well, vampires are cool... and werewolves- those are cool too! Let's do something with that!"

So, you end up with a Hatfields and McCoys type blood-feud between immortal killing machines, who use guns to take each other out (huh?), while Kate Beckinsale is all Trinity in shiny black body suits.

It's okay, but I'd wait to rent it or see it at the dollar show.

you've got to ask yourself one question: 'Do I feel loquacious?' -- well do you, punk?

I spent the whole movie wondering when I'd get out and pondering the absurdity of vampires and werewolves shooting at each other with guns.

An awful, awful movie.

I enjoyed the film. Although I had a hard time figuring out who the characters were.

I was only confused by the reasoning behind Vampires needing a night vision scope on an assault rifle. I guess it just looked cool.

You forgot Romeo And Juliet, Rebecca :)

It was quite a bit like that too.

Just like they did in Blade? Maybe the NRA is run by Vampires? Maybe guns are better than claws? I'm thinking that opening statement on how, the weapons and technology may have changed, but the war is still the same probably covered that issue?

Oh yeah- what he said. Star-crossed lovers and all that crap... 'Course, that was weird, too, because they never really developed it- it was just "Who are you? Why are they after you? I love you."
