So yesterday I had Sarita over. We got snushi take out and watched Night of the Living Dead '90 on my computer.
The girl in that is hot. I like how she wasn't useless and crazy like in the origional.
This wasn't as scarry as the origional I don't think. As specialy since they could sort of walk circles around the zombies with ease.
But I liked the things that happened in the new one better.
The origional was amaizing for it's time. 1968 and the lead character/hero is a black guy. Even above the white family man. Not only that, he's the last one alive.
I was picking it apart today actually. I was thinking about how Barbara and all the women were useless in the origional one, that's how they were often portrayed. But it's Ben, the black guy who was the hero.
Then in the new one. The black guy helps the woman pull herself together after she saw her brother get killed, he tells her she has to fight now. Then through the rest of the movie, while Ben is still in charge, he's rubbing off on Barbara, he values her input, giving her the gun, leaving her in charge.
Then by the end of the movie she's the hero. While it's not a sequil it was almost like the origional was a breakthrough for the black character to be the lead, and he sort of passes the torch to the female character, encouraging the tough as nails, Lt. Ripley type. Both versions are a strike at stereotypes. Awesome movies.
Maybe I'm looking too deep into it. It was just a neat kinda thing I made note of.
Sarita was like 'Yeah I'd do her'.
So after movie there was much snuggling and eventualy making out. We're bad at this game...
But it still doesn't look as though it's going to go anywhere. Nor do I want it to. Not like this again. Not 'I'm going to leave me boyfriend because I like you now.'
As wrong as we are to be doing what we've been doing. It would be a bad way for us to start a steady relationship.
So yeah... Fun... And little more. Just fun.
We got a huge shipment of discounted movies at work. Newer stuff too. Fast and the Furious for $10.99 for an example.
I like Vin Diesel. He's out there and interesting. I liked the character in fast and the furious. Though I didn't like much else about it. Pitch Black was cool. But I still haven't seen the second one.
Iron Giant was good! I liked that movie. It made me feel all gushy inside, because I used to have dreams about having a large, art deco robot, friend.
Despite the horrible writing of some of these newer movies he's in, I still like him, I need to see A Man Apart.
But anyway. I got the two Dragonheart movies in a set for $10.99. I only really wanted the first one, the second was kind of kiddy and was put together like an episode of Xena. it was straight to video so go fig.
I got The Postman for 6.99 to feed my Post Apoc. Wasteland fetish.
Then I got Blazing Saddles for 8.99 and Shawshank Redemption for 7.99 for my mom... After I gave them to her she said. 'Aww for my birthday?' which I only then remembered was tomorrow... 'Yyyyyyyeeeeessss.. That's it!' I replied....
I'm a horrible son.

Just be careful with this girl. Don't get yourself hurt.
