Mowing lawns, naked kids, Damien, and silent hills and impossible missions in HD.

There's nothing like mowing the lawn, edging it, and then blowing the extra grass away for 4 straight hours while you see a family of ducks trying to rest on your patio. Man, I really gotta get in shape, after the first 45 minutes of mowing I was really out of breath. I usually aren't out of breath even after mowing the lawn. After finishing the job, I saw this really fat rabbit on the lawn eating the extra grass. Man, it was really really fat. I didn't even bother catching it because I was so tired.

That night, my mom and I went to the laundromat on Main street to wash some blankets. I tried to do some reading but I couldn't. These three fucking little Mexican kids kept on playing and playing as if the laudromat was their fucking theme park. It really made me pissed. The parents were there but they didn't do shit. The eldest kid was even throwing bottle caps at some of the employees of the laundromat. You know what the dad did (or possibly the guy who's fucking the mom)? He saw what they were doing and bought all his kids Gatorade. Way to go you fuckhead! One of the kids wasn't even wearing a shirt and pants. He wore his boxers the entire time I was there. Carlos Mencia had a sketch about hitting your kids (and taking away their fucking PS2 isn't fucking enough) and this is a reason why.

Aside from the Lake House from yesterday's post, but did anyone catch the new Omen trailer? Man, it looks scene for scene copied from the original. And the problem for me is the goddamn kid who plays Damien. He looks too evil. Not quasi-evil, not semi-evil, not the Diet Coke of evil, but pure EEE-vil! The brilliance of the original was that the antichrist didn't look like an evil child but an angel. He looked like the personification of love! But this kid has that same smirk the whole fucking time! And Julia Stiles looks so goddamn miscast.

There is one great trailer though and its for the movie Art School Confidential. I found it to be really, really funny.

I still haven't seen Silent Hill. I thought I was gonna watch it yesterday but I didn't have the time. A friend called me up and the subject of Silent Hill came up. "Dude, you wanna come over? I have it on HD." I drove to his place at around 4. When I arrived and then 15 minutes later, the doorbell rings. My friend gets a huge package from one of his buddies in L.A. and it's Mission: Impossible III. That's right. Yup. IT'S FUCKING MISSION: IMPOSSIBLE III IN 1080P HIGH DEFINITION!!!!!!!! The goddamn movie came in 4 hard drives. I said, "fuck Silent Hill, I could just watch that in the theatres!!!! Pop in MI3 fucking now!" After taking 20 minutes to install, we finally begin watching it. The picture quality is absolutely fucking crystal clear. I doubt I've never seen a film this clear in my life (and the first film I've seen in 1080p). In the beginning, Capote is about to blow the brains of Cruise's g/f. Mr. Couch Jumper then begs Capote to not kill her. Capote then begins to talk about some rabbit foot and begins to count to 10. Then a problem occurred. As mr. Capote was counting, suddenly all the fucking power went out in the fucking apartment. My friend screamed "FUCCCCCKKKKKKKK!" The power came back on after 15 minutes. We were able to turn the computer back on but the problem was that the first hard drive (the first 1/4 of the movie) kept on fast forwarding to the end of the part. So, instead of just watching the film incomplete, I told him to just pop in Silent Hill (another 1080p film). As Silent Hill was about to start, the power went out again. This time the power would never come back again. I was pissed, and my friend was really pissed (he wanted to knock over his computer tower). I went back home with the notion that MI3 might be really good this time around and that I could've seen Silent Hill in HD. But alas, it wasn't to be.

On a final note, if you've seen any of Kevin Smith's films you should absolutely read his blog. His blog is in one word: incredible. The guy really knows how to write. His latest posts are about his best friend's addiction to heroin, how he finally beat it, and why he stayed by his friend's side the entire time.

So that's it for today, good night and good luck. (that's a pretty good film actually)
