Gift cards, and Romeo & Juliet
Good afternoon! How be you? I'm all right. Of course, we had some relatives come from San Antonio to visit, so that's okay. And little Gavin is supposed to come over today. So, I used most of my gift cards (except for 83 cents on one card). I bought the following: *Lara Croft: Tomb Raider & The Cradle of Life on DVD (two different movies, two different DVDs) *I, Robot on DVD *Harry Potter and Philosophy: If Aristotle Ran Hogwarts Book *Star Wars and Philosophy book I wanted to get things cheaply and a lot of things at it. I would have bought Scrubs on DVD if it wasn't for that fucking ONLY ONE GIFT CARD PER PURCHASE rule. WTF is that about? But, I'll wait to get Scrubs on DVD. And I'm going to preorder the South Park Imaginationland Trilogy on DVD when I can. It's already available for Pre-Order! And it's not coming out until March, probably the week of Season 12, or the week after Season 12, starts. Haha. Both of those books are from the same series as my South Park and Philosophy book. That series has EVERYTHING and Philosophy. Baseball, The Matrix, Lord of the Rings, EVEN POKER! It's a card game how much philosophy is in here? James Bond, U2, The Beatles, Hitchcock, The fucking Atkins Diet. At least I have new books to read. Anyways, I watched Romeo + Juliet yesterday. Good movie, lots of great fun. I already knew what happens, but so nice to own at least one version of Romeo & Juliet on DVD. Of course, it's the world's most depressing film ever. And, it always bothers me that they were like... 13 actually. And Juliet's mother is like... in her 20s. Juliet's near 14, and her mother already had her at that age, making her about 26. How fucked up is that? She's still young and she's already got a teenaged child. My favorite character has always been Mercutio. Even as he's dying, he's fucking JOKING! And even though I tend to dislike most clergy, another favorite is Friar Lawrence. Okay, yeah, this movie is not completely FAITHFUL to the actual play, and takes out a few unneeded scenes, and takes place in modern times, but that's what makes it so good. Who wants to see a codpiece on a guy nowadays? I mean, Romeo looks better in his fuckin' Hawaiian shirt. And then, later yesterday I watched Strictly Ballroom, which is a romantic comedy. Ugly ducking girl, hot-ish guy. You know the same shit? Except it's Australian. It's a fun randomly silly movie though. And the guy who played the main character is now a judge on Australia's Dancing With the Stars. It's a fun movie. At least nobody died. 4 of the last five movies I've watched, somebody died! Sirius, Will, Satine, Romeo and Juliet! And of course, it's somebody a main character loved. How fucking depressing! I better go run off and watch South Park!
