Licence To Kill was just on USA and it's better than I remembered it being. Drugs, sharks, a James Bond that actually smokes cigarettes, a young Benicio Del Toro as a crazy South American knife-wielding killer, two very beautiful and resourceful Bond girls (especially Carey Lowell as Pam Bouvier), Q working in the field, a worthy and frightening villain, and it probably has the most straight up cold-blooded violence in any Bond movie...including a guy's head exploding in a decompression chamber. Not anywhere near the best in the series, but there's a lot to like about it.

Also it's good because its commercial failure led them to reboot the franchise with Goldeneye which led to the creation of one of the best video games ever.

Darkon - I've been wanting to watch this documentary since they first posted the trailers online, but I'd never gotten around to it. I expected this to be the type of thing where you just sit there and laugh at the people the entire time, and there certainly were a number of those moments, but I surprisingly sympathized with them far more than I ever would have imagined. While there were a number of wackos that were easy to laugh at, a lot of them just seemed really lonely and depressed, which ended up just making you glad they had others like them to hang out with. I liked this quite a bit, and for reasons I never would have expected.

Role Models - This was extremely ironic to watch so close after seeing Darkon. I had no clue how much of it revolved around the exact same subject, so it sorta made for a weird Medieval role playing filled weekend. I realize this may be normal for people like Elfa, but it's not for me. Regardless, this was funnier than I was expecting .

Speaking of LARPing, there's a group of people who put on armor/chainmail and fight with swords in the middle of the green by my dorm. Make of it what you will.

*Secretly hoping everyday they'd invite me to play. I would even bring mead and a helmet with horns to show I'm ready to go in, anytime. Then when they finally gave me the call, I'd pull out a battlestaff with a +9 Fire resistance and make the other side jealous they didn't pick me first, then I'd smite those bastards one by one. Fuckers. "Hey, fuckers. Fuck you," would be my battlecry. And I'd be called Yorick Summoner of the Darthlands.

Smite them one by one.

You'd be known as "Ubercock of the St. John's illiterates".

So I picked this up at my college bookstore the other day, and just got around to watching it today. I've never seen the original Halloween (although I've seen other parts of the franchise), so I was pumped up for this one.

Overall, I enjoyed it, but I remember enjoying another part of the franchise (Halloween 4, maybe?) a little bit more. Halloween 2 (the original) was really good, too. This one sets the story well, though, and overall has interesting characters (who you really don't want them to end up dying at the hands of Michael Myers.)

I've always thought that the actor who played the doctor (forget his name) was excellent in his role. He came across really convincing here, too. You can't help but feel bad for the policeman whose daughter was killed.

I'd give this a 4 out of 5. Pure classic.

I've never seen a Halloween movie. I saw the Excorcist when I was a kid and that kinda ruined me on the entire genre. I'm still f'd up from that movie. True story.

Wrong thread.

Wrong forum, probably.
