Yes. We are awesome parents.
hahaha, that's great.
I had a couple of friends help out on mardi gras, and we had to be down there really early with no parking so we decided to meet at my house and carpool. I was half-asleep, making coffee when my buddy flew into the kitchen like Kramer at 5:30am saying "We rise at daybreak!"

I heard it was just okay as a series but I thought the film was pretty damn good. Steve Coogan fans (JL?) will definitely like it. The dueling Michael Caine impressions was a recurring joke in the film and killed me every time. It's worth watching just to see that alone.

Get her to say, "Death is a fleeting moment, but cowardice is a lifetime affliction."

You are so wrong I will fight you.
I loved Drive. But I also love the old Vanishing Point.
Absolutely still love Drive. Top 3 soundtrack ever, for my taste. Makes the movie. Also, I wish I could speak as little as he does and still impress women as ungodly cute as she is.
Watched Immortals last night. Ugh. So, so dumb. But Tarsem's visuals were unabashedly entertaining. Luckily, I could just fast-forward through the dull fight scenes and Mickey Rourke being terribly uninteresting, and just enjoy the graphic novel come-to-life feel of it. I dont know how long the movie actually was, but I think I only spent 45 minutes on it. I do admit that watching the Olympian gods smash bodies like pumpkins was pretty goddamn entertaining.
I watched MacGruber last night. I hate to say it since Will Forte annoys me 90% of the time and I'm really tired of Kristen Wiig, but it's probably the funniest SNL spinoff.
Before you say it, no. Wayne's World [expletive] sucked.
The protagonist of Drive was way too devoid of personality, and the bad guys were too unintelligent to make a good movie.
I thought the camera work, while artsy, was also very interesting and told the story well. I just thought the characters were dull and uninteresting, and thats really the whole basis of a movie. You can have fun, exciting, daring characters, or you can have really methodical and introverted, complicated characters. Unfortunately the Driver was just introverted, and we didn't get to see much inside his head.
Take the characters in Sin City. Most of them would be completely boring and devoid of life. But we get this kind of over-the-top dialogue narration that fits with the visual style and enhances the characters to make them larger than life, when they are rather ordinary. But with guns and blood.
Drive needed something like this, more realistic, but an outlet for the Driver so we cared about his plight. Or just have him speak more to the girl.

Argh, right!
I watched it and was thoroughly bored. Just didn't give a flying crap about that kid. I gave up after about 40 minutes. I don't get why it was so well-reviewed. Seemed like just another routine kid flick.
