psych.

You know what I hate more than an unhappy ending?  An ending that never happens.  Or an ending that is the only thing that happens.  Why the hell would anyone think that that is a good way to end a movie?  Sure, you have that moment of revelation where you find out what has actually been going on, but usually, for me, at least, that moment is followed by frustration and intense dissatisfaction.  "Hey, here's a twist.  You know how you just spent the last 2 hours watching this movie?  Yea, none of that actually happened.  Hope you liked it!"
Excuse me?  the hell is wrong with you?

Christian Bale as Patrick Bateman in American Psycho (2000)

*SPOILERS

I watched the movie American Psycho for my psychology class yesterday, and the movie was going well; I had heard good things about it, and watching Patrick Bateman (Christian Bale) and his psychotic nature was fairly entertaining, and a little funny (although it kind of ruined Batman for me...).  But when you find out at the end that basically the whole movie was just a figment of Bateman's imagination - what you see him do is actually just what he wants to do, and the extent of Bateman's actual activity in the movie turns out to be him drawing like a maniac in his planner about the things he fantasizes about.  Lame.

Jude Law as Remy in Repo Men (2010)

*SPOILERS
Same with the movie Repo Men, starring Jude Law.  There is a point halfway through the movie when everything that happens from then on is a dream.  What a waste of time.  It's not like these movies are real anyway, but to find out at the end that the final half of the movie didn't happen is quite frustrating.  

MY yogurt is good 'til...

King of New York Hacks: HOPE, and The King of New York Hacks invents a car...: "I have developed a car that will run on water. Unfortunately you'll have to go to the Gulf of Mexico to fill it up. Ba dum dum ching ! ;-) ..."

I came across this blog today on the Blogs of Note and... it's Nice.
The post linked above, I especially liked.  Granted, it's only the second out of two posts I read, but I'm sure you'll enjoy it, too.
Hope.  Yea, I enjoy hope.
*Just picture Agnes (Despicable Me) as the child whose yogurt is more credible than the Mayan calendar, and be prepared for the cutest experience of your day.

"Does this count as annoying?"

<3.

Speaking of which, Despicable Me?  saw it today.  SUCH a cute movie!  Agnes is THE cutest thing, and Gru? what a softy.  =]
It was a fun, yet predictable movie.  Although... the second(?) scene where Gru gives the little boy a balloon animal just to pop it in his face was admittedly traumatizing.

And while we're on the topic of movies, I watched Repo Men yesterday.  Apparently there is no relation to the movie Repo! The Genetic Opera.  And I thought it was just a remake.  But no.  It's apparently a movie adaptation of the novel Repossession Mambo published in 2009, whereas Repo! was released in 2008.  Still.. very suspicious.
Anyway, the movie was alright.  And by alright, I mean... Eh.  I wouldn't go around recommending it to people...  It's quite gruesome, as you can imagine, some humor thrown around here and there, mediocre plot, with a twist at the end that, although it might have taken you by surprise, was predictable.  But, I must admit, it was an interesting concept (not necessarily original) of being able to buy organs as you would a car or a house.  On credit.  Money you do NOT have.  ALMOST sounds stupid.  And for an organ that costs more than your average house and car combined.  No thanks.  I choose exercise and a healthy diet.  Eat that, Bitches!

But, yea, back to the reason I even decided to post this.  That blog up there ^^ (at least that post if nothing else).  It's worth a look.  Check it out.  =D
