You ever wish your life was like the movies? I suppose it depends on what movie you are watching at the moment.

Watching the flick Larry Crown - about a guy who gets laid-off from U-Mart and goes back to school via the local community college, where he finds cool new friends, gets a job at a Diner, and hooks up with his hot speech teacher.

Funniest line? To explain the difference between Star Wars and Star Trek...would take hours..there's just...beam me up now.

LOL!

When I was a kid it was Star Wars, as an adult? Definitely Star Trek...and no contest.

I really liked 'Cabin in the Woods' a lot, more than 'Avengers' in fact. It worked for me a lot the way 'Galaxy Quest' worked....

So I cannot predict how you would feel about 'Abraham Lincoln Vampire Hunter', but it would not be spoilery to tell you that it is done in straight melodrama style: it takes itself deadly seriously (which is kind of hilarious if your sense of humor works that way). I found it very enjoyable (except for a couple of fight scenes that went on a tad too long), and kind of outrageous. But definitely do NOT see it in 3D, it is already filmed too dark, you don't need to add dark glasses.

I never considered going to 'Rock of Ages' or 'Snow White and the Huntsman', those didn't sound like my thing at all.... but I'm seriously thinking of seeing 'Seeking a Friend for the End of the World' soon... and [Unknown site tag] seriously loved 'Brave', so I plan to see that too (she said 2D was great, so I'll skip 3D for that too).

I should have skipped Cabin in the Woods...while I didn't hate it, I do despise the genre (torture porn and zombies), so it didn't work for me. 90% of a film with your hand over your face is not a fun experience. There was a reason I didn't like biology and hate hospitals and criminal law.

Galaxy Quest on the other hand was a lot of fun, but it didn't have people tortured with saws, bear traps, decapitated, and skewered...so that may have helped. LOL!

well it probably helped me deal w/the pain and death in that I didn't believe any of it was really happening at the time of those early deaths... I mean you get a bear trap in your back and you bounce right back, without collapsing in pain? Seemed to me that it must be a fake bear trap....
I just wasn't 'buying' any of it as real,
and the over the top ending w/the giant hand was just ridiculous....
So I was never taking it seriously enough to be afraid of any of it.

Actually a lot of serious horror fans hated CitW for just that reason, they didn't find it scary at all.
