In the front there was a spot for handicap parking, which makes complete sense and, I think, is required by law.And then beside that spot was a spot for 'Senior Parking Only'. Sorry, but I think they should either make another handicap spot, or get rid of this tomfoolery. Honestly, if a senior has enough trouble walking that they need to park close, won't they Jon Possiblehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02435597324476110784noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6041829.post-72008426941492885692009-04-19T21:36:00.003-05:002009-04-19T21:40:18.549-05:00500 Days of SummerFirstly, I think we all know that I love Zooey Deschanel.

I had to read his book 'Crash' for Modern British Literature in college. I read it the night before class all in one sitting. I actually enjoyed it, though the book was very weird.

Especially with a non-Pixar animated film. Monsters vs. Aliens manages to tell a rather typical story in a creative and fun way, and isn't that what movies like this are all about? Many strive and few succeed. Here is a film that succeeds.We begin with Susan, who is typically marrying the love of her life, who cares Jon Possiblehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02435597324476110784noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6041829.post-52574665561657840792009-04-02T23:10:00.003-05:002009-04-02T23:24:35.602-05:00Make Me A Supermodel: Jordan FanclubI'm getting tired of that post below this one.

Here I am going to justify that opinion. A few things to keep in mind: These are based off of the theatrical release, not any 'director's cut' that may follow. Also, there will be very heavy spoilers and I suggest not reading if you haven't at least seen the movie, but ideally you will have read the graphic Jon Possiblehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02435597324476110784noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6041829.post-23434716433959959092009-03-06T04:33:00.004-05:002009-03-06T04:49:24.749-05:00WatchmenI will admit that my expectations for Watchmen were high (for reasons unknown, because Zack Snyder is a hack). However, I have never been so disappointed in an adaptation in my life.Everything added into the film that was not in the source comics was either awkward, completely out of character, or just useless.

Either way, it makes them appear as though they have a 'type.' Noah Baumbach, whose film credits include The Squid and the Whale, Margot at the Wedding, Kicking and Screaming (1995, not the terrible Will Ferrell one), and The Life Aquatic (as writer), seems to be one of those 'type' writers.

Most people average about 14-16.The only ones I missed were Animated Short, Documentary Short, and Foreign Film.
