Shark revenge

Today we watched one of the very few movies on Rotten Tomatoes that got a 0% in the tomatometer: Strange Wilderness.  It really isn't as bad as other stuff that undeservingly has gotten better ratings.  Jumper (which I watched yesterday) felt more like a waste of my time, as well as that of Samuel L. Jackson, Diane Lane and Kristen Stewart. Well at least they made some money. Me? I just wasted 90 minutes of my life.

Anyway, something that Strange Wilderness has that no other movie has, and that was definitely the highlight of the entire thing, is the best revenge scene against a shark. The shark had eaten the leg and mauled the body of Peter Dante. A year after the horrible accident, they all go to the same spot where it happened, drink some rotten milk and other yucky stuff, attract the shark with a piece of meat and when he is close enough... they all puke in his mouth:


Rotten Tomatoes, how can you give a 0 to that awesome revenge?!?!?!

I like to watch

I'm very excited about the film festival, and I plan on going to as many movies as possible. So I went to buy a few tickets, and surprisingly they were giving pink sheets printed on both sides along with the tickets. I always go to festivals and such but this is the first time that I remember getting instructions for a movie, especially instructions like:

-Please refrain from wearing perfumes and other scented products so that attendees with environmental sensitivities can comfortably enjoy the movies.
WTF! The only time I had seen a place forbidding patrons to wear perfume was at the gay club "The Cowboy", I guess they were trying to be as old western as possible? Who knows. But here?

-Please keep your tickets in a safe, cool, dry, dark, place and do not forget to bring them to the theater.
This totally made me lol, first the medicine-like instructions and then the reminder to not forget them at home! That must be based on real life events, how many people must have tried to pull off the "Please let me in, I forgot the tickets in the kitchen" for them to actually put a warning in the instructions?!

If this pink sheet is an indication of what expects me, I know I'm in for a lot of fun :)

The Sandman

I had plans to see The Zohan on Sunday, I should have known it wasn't going to happen when were standing next to the Zohan poster, waiting for a taxi last night. There he was, sort of warning me "Don't stay out too late"


Sorry Adam!

I can't complain too much, cause I still got a little taste of Mr. Sandler on Saturday when I saw him on what would be the only bright spot of the otherwise awful MTV Awards:



Isn't he fabulous? I had the biggest crush on him when he was Operaman and I've loyally watched all of his movies, from the not very good ones to the one he made with one of my favorite directors in the world, Paul Thomas Anderson. So it's not like I'm not going to watch this one, where he got back to hotness and all. It'll just have to wait a few more days, or just a couple, maybe just one...


P.S.- Sorry Adam I couldn't contribute to the box office opening weekend numbers :(
