Butterfly Effect, sitting for democracy, doing Toronto, and *mancy!

[skreidle]

Just watched The Butterfly Effect, and thought it was pretty good. Good (thought not original) concept, nifty special effects, good soundtrack, and I thought Kutcher was a good fit for the part--not the Funny Man he often plays, but a gawky college student struggling to deal with a barely-comprehensible situation. (I'll admit I wasn't thrilled by the final resolution, but I suppose it fit.)

Awesome: 83-year old woman stands up for democracy.. by sitting down. (via reabhecc)

From visgoth: I wish they'd asked when I was younger.
I don't think I have the stamina anymore.
I pointed out that he could buy a package starting at $99, which might help.. :D

That one I saw in the theater, and it was good. :)

And that's what I get for not deleting notifications I've already replied to, heh. ;P

Hopefully I'll get around to watching Secret Window, but the chances aren't looking too good so far, unless I watch it with people I'm hanging out with at SBU on Saturday...

I'm going to see Hero with Nathan Friday! Woohoo!

Now that half of the people I'd normally go to see movies with are back to living at SBU, my chances of going out for movies are dramatically lessened. :[ If I didn't get free rentals from work, I'd probably be sadly movie-less for the semester...

Sounds like me through most of college, except for the occasional cheap (and often esoteric) movies in the student unions.. and lots of DVDs some summers.
