When did it become August? Seriously. It's way too early for it to be August. This is what happens when you spend an entire month not keeping time except for every rare occasions. It's July for me, man. My birthday can't be in two weeks. And GI Joe comes out this weekend? I was thinking I had another month to avoid admitting to the cashier at the theatre that I'm willing to pay actual money to see this (which I'm actually not, but there's this lovely CE picture next to me that keeps reminding me of the good things). Maybe I can manage to see it with my cousins so I can at least pretend that I'm being dragged to see it rather than going out of my own free will. I really cannot picture myself saying "one for GI Joe". I mean... it's GI Joe. I hate GI Joe. I always have. Every time an advert came on the TV when I was little I rolled my eyes. When I heard there was a movie coming out about it, I scoffed and said, "hell no I'm not watching that dreck." Then what happens? CE is in it. *head desk so hard* Then again, he's also (along with Ian McShane, who I really like) in Dark is Rising or something like that and I'm not watching that. Why did it have to be GI Joe? I wouldn't feel bad about watching Transformers 2. I'm neutral on that. And why does this seem like such a huge problem when I have a dissertation to write? I need to get some perspective. Although in my defense, this is $5 to $8 of my money that's on the line. I could buy a book with that. Or a hat. Or... I don't know. Shampoo. I just don't want to give the studios money for another lame movie.

*grumpy face*

Never mind. I'm off to make Norfolk screencaps. Well, I'm off to finish the sources section of my thesis and then I'm doing Norfolk screencaps. Okay, I should post some pictures of Scotland before that, but Norfolk screencaps will happen at some point. Probably next month. Which for me will be August.

I really cannot picture myself saying "one for GI Joe".

I may just order the ticket online to keep from having to say that. Seriously. I just may do it.

But the fact is it doesn't sound that bad. I mean, I enjoyed...well, tolerated...well, didn't want to scratch my eyes out after...the Mummy, so I'm sure I can hack it. *sigh*

But online tickets have fees. I'm not paying that. $5.25 is bad enough.

Well, I did enjoy The Mummy quite a lot. It's been a while since I've seen it, though. My copy is a VHS. It was silly. I do love silliness in movies. This one doesn't have a silly vibe, though. And it's GI Joe. I would say that at least it's not the Power Rangers, which I adamantly refused to watch even while everyone around me was hooked and giving me funny looks. Then again, now that I've said, disaster will strike.

Yeah, that is true. But maybe the theater I go to will have one of those machines in the lobby to buy your tickets from directly. Machines don't judge.

I think the trailers kind of hit the wrong notes, because from what I've read, there is a fair amount of silly. Or at least tongue in cheek (god I hate that phrase). So...well, I'm seeing it for sure on Friday, and you can fully expect there to be a detailed post at some point that night about how good/bad/hilariously bad/awful without redemption it actually is.

Well, maybe then. I just want to see CE. That's all. I'll probably wait until after reading your post to prepare myself mentally.

I'll willingly be the canary in the coal mine on this and report back ;)

I know, right?! July went by so freakin' fast. I'm gonna be 19 this month! Holy shit.

[identity profile] guanin.livejournal.com 2009-08-03 11:11 pm (UTC)(link)
I will actually be 26. And what have I done with my life? *drops head in hands* I may take a break from my dissertation that day. Maybe.

Hey, you're still young! If you were turning 40, though, you might have a problem.

[identity profile] guanin.livejournal.com 2009-08-03 11:22 pm (UTC)(link)
True. I have done some stuff. And I did meet this guy in Edinburgh. He lives in Poland, though.

Haha, sweet.

Ugh, seriously, where did the time go?. I definitely feel like it's still July.

Every month feels like only half a month. It's bizarre.

We can hang our heads in shame since I'm going to do the same when it comes to GI Joe. What will we do if we actually *gulp* like the movie? Lol.

And really this year is just breezing by. I'm still dating my work @ July 27.

We're such good fangirls. But why do our fav actors have to subject us to such horrible stuff? I might prefer it if I liked it just to avoid that dying brain feeling, I'm not sure how possible it might be in this one, though. We'll see.
