this film had me in awe ..

and i dont give a shit who does and doesnt like CGI .. its breathtaking..

I'll take your word for it urge. I usually use Rotten Tomatoes as at least some sort of guide. It actually got mixed reviews. But, we all know critics suck ass.

But is it like a sappy family movie? I mean, I'm sure I could appreciate it. But I'm just trying to get a feel for what it's like.

it wasnt as sappy as i thought it would be..

i dont know how to put it .. it did have a big warm fuzzy feeling but somehow it got it across without the sugar.
Either that or I was too blown away by the visuals to notice.

It had a lot of class .. i guess thats the best way to put it ..

"The Polar Express" was knocked down by "The Incredibles," which is a bummer, because I hear it's very scary and creepy, and I would like to see it. It would be nice if they had released it a week or two AFTER "Incredibles" opened. Pixar is not a company to be messed with!...

But onto the substance of the topic--as we know, it is wintertime, because our little toes are freezing off and the floor feels like some kinda ice cube. It is at this time of the year that many pull their favorite ratty old VHS tapes off the shelf for another go-round. A nice cup of hot tea and a slice of pie make this holiday tradition complete. Many Christmas TV specials, expecially those produced by Rankin Bass, have creepy elements like monsters. This seems to tie into the tradition of telling ghost stories around the fire at Christmastime. We all like a good creep, especially when we feel that winter chill. What are YOUR favorite creepy holiday shows?

not bothered about watching creepy stuff, but

One of my christmas present to myself is the The Ultimate Matrix Collection (10 Discs) It's on pre-order and is due to reach me by the beginning of December, and if no one wants to watch it with me....I shall be attempting to watch the whole lot back-to-back plus all the extras, sometime over the holiday period. I shall make sure beer and snacks will be readily available.

The Matrix is everywhere. It is all around us. Even now, in this very room. You can see it when you look out your window or when you turn on your television. You can feel it when you go to work... when you go to church... when you pay your taxes. It is the world that has been pulled over your eyes to blind you from the truth.

thats it then ... the hallucinations and paranoid delusions have started.


ok repeat after me :
