So what's gonna happen with the shark/mafia cartoon?
In order to round out my week of almost total slothiness, I watched two movies in a row with the roomate and his pal ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
ringmasterlove.
First we watched Monsters inc. Ironic, since i only recently became aware of this news:
http://story.news.yahoo.com/news?tmpl=story&cid=493&ncid=762&e=6&u=/ap/20040130/ap_en_mo/pixar_disney
The movie was pretty good. Steve Buscemi was the bad guy, who was excellent. The movie had much more of a plot that i would have thought, and was funny and intelligent and cute. So it was a good use of my almost 2 hours.
Next up was League of Extraordinary Gentlemen. I had negative expectations for this film, since all the smart people i know told me it was not that great. I suspect that if you went in expecting it to be good, you wouldn'tve been disappointed. I, however, expected it to suck and was therefore pleasantly surprised. Here are some things I take issue with: Vampire chicks aren't supposed to walk around during the day. People you share split personality with don't take breaks from craziness when the situation gets difficult. The guy you think you can't trust *is* most often a lying scumbag. Captain nemo is not a pirate, and if he is, I don't want to know about it. Sean Connery only reminds me of SNL Celebrity Jeopardy now. Sorry Mister Bond!
And finally, Tom Sawyer and Huck Finn would not have had a parting of the ways.

as for the League... it was a pretty movie, but that's it.. the plot was horrid. It reminded me of another Connery film, The Avengers. Pretty film, but didn't make a lick of sense.

Yick!
