Okay, I had heard of "Night Watch" from a friend several weeks ago. I have been very much looking forward to it. Now, that I've seen the trailer for it, I'm all sorts of excited because it not only looks ultra cool, but it looks to be a nice departure from the typical Hollywood horror movie. Some critics think that that is it's problem, but they're morons and we don't listen to them. We form our own opinions because we are free-thinking, sentient beings who are sick of formulaic shit, which is why we watch the "weirdo" foreign stuff, right, children?
I didn't think that during the initial release Little Rock would get it. That was no big deal. But, if you go to the website, you will see on March 3 there is a serious number of cities getting this potentially awesome film.
If you look closely, Little Rock isn't on that list.
Jacksonville, MS and Birmingham, AL are getting it. Apparently, Little Rock isn't big enough or something.
Or sophisticated enough.
Or just plain stupid.
Why, yes, I'm bitter. Very bitter. Why do you ask?
Of course, there could be more releases later, especially if it wins the Oscar its up for, but that doesn't stop the fact I feel completely denied once again.
I shouldn't be surprised. We didn't get "Mirrormask" either, but it's on DVD now, so I'll get to see it eventually. NetFlix is a beautiful thing.
I swear, sometimes this town is a friggin' black hole for entertainment. Color me surprised when I found out Nine Inch Nails was coming to town. (And, yes, yes, we're going.)

I...I...saw...Serenity.
Can we get an "Holy Hell in a Handbasket!"?
I saw...the...Battlestar Galatica miniseries.
Can we get a drooling incoherent mumble?
Yeah, that's where I've been. Catching up with my geekiness. I'm rather behind as you can tell.
By the way...Wallace and Gromit, man. Wallace and Gromit.
I love my iPod. I've mentioned it before. My iPod obsession is quite powerful.
I knew that there were others out there who would probably remove the larnyx of a mugger with their teeth for trying to take their iPod, but I figured I was probably pretty weird even for them because I've named my iPod.
Everyone, meet Boris.
Thing is, I'm finding this may not be so unusual.
Todd's (my boyfriend, yes he has a name) iPod is ikaPod.
A friend of ours has one called Poddington.
Who else out their has pretty much decided their iPod is sentient and requires a name?
They aren't MP3 players, they're pets. We all know it. We might as well admit it.
Most geeks have seen this, but I must share anyway because up until a few days ago, I haven't seen it. For those who live under a rock like me, enjoy. The rest of you, quit keeping all the cool stuff to yourself.
Aliens...with bunny ears, ya'll.
