This weekend, due to the monsoon, torrential downpour, flood conditions, whatever you like to call it, was a heavily movie themed weekend.
300
Saturday night Holly and I headed out to see 300. I had been looking forward to seeing 300 for quite a while, and I must say, it did not disappoint me in any way.
The movie was everything I had hoped for and more. It has definitely landed a place in my top five movies. I’m not sure of the exact position yet, but I’ll know better after I get to pick it up on DVD and watch it a dozen times.

Holly: It was better than I expected it to be…
Me: That was $#%(#$% awesome!
Borat
On Sunday we decided to rent some movies. We picked up Borat because everyone and their dog seems to like it. It was a piece of pop culture which everyone was making references to when they said things. We thought we should see it.
All I can say is that it was 85 minutes long, and I would like 80 of those minutes of my life back. It wasn’t funny. It wasn’t interesting. I can’t figure out why people like it. Maybe I am just too far out of touch with the times. Although, if being in touch with the times makes Borat funny then I’ll just stay out of touch.

Holly & I: The part with the bear was funny…
The Departed
Now this was a good movie. It is a continuation of making good movies for Scorcese (who for some reason I frequently confuse with Oliver Stone). The actors were great. The story was great. The ending was… you decide for yourself.
Holly & I: That was a good movie.
Did you ever see Napoleon Dynamite out of curiosity? And if so, what’d you think of that one, hee.
No, I haven’t seen that one yet. I’ve been meaning to get around to it though.
Your response to Borat was mine to ND. I turned it off in 10 minutes, which was why i was curious.
Napoleon Dynamite is responsible for the downfall of our youth. It made me want to tear out that part of brain that remembers it. I still can’t watch anything with Jon Heder in it.
