Makes me glad I don't have any virginity to lose, because that might be embarrassing...
(not in the sense that being a virgin is embarrassing, in the sense that I'd lost it in public)
and without touching a real man...

I saw Jumper tonight.
I thought it was pretty dumb. Rachel Bilson just made pouty faces at Hayden Christensen the whole time while he brooded about how much he hated Samuel L. Jackson. The ending was corny and sucky.
And we didn't even get any "motherfuck" moments.
I think the only really good character was Diane Lane, although they hardly went into her character at all.
Did the dad die? Did the dude he teamed up with die? What happened to the kid who was in jail for being teleported into the bank vault? Why couldn't he just have killed Samuel L. Jackson? Who the heck was the mother? Why was she such an important figure but only appeared in two scenes? Why were there other jumpers? Why were the paladins after them? What is with that crazy British dude throwing buses and cars all over the place? Does he no longer have any regard for human life? We get basic information but not enough to make the movie compelling. Remember when superheroes were at least worried about preserving life and keeping the property damage down? Apparently not anymore...and they aren't even superheroes! They're just people who can teleport, with bad guys on their asses!
Oh, and it wasn't even an hour and a half long. Our show started at 5:25, there were 20 minutes of previews and we were out before 7.
Stupid.

Goodbye you liar,
Well you sipped from the cup but you don't own up to anything
Then you think you will inspire
Take apart your head
(and I wish I could inspire)
Take apart your demons, then you add it to the list.

Yeah, same here. I really didn't understand the hype.

Just got to see Be Kind Rewind.
Kind of super hilarious. And not in a ... been there done that kind of way. Really fresh and funny. Kind of reminded me of Juno with an raw anti-hollywood feel. Not that its particularly anti-hollywood considering it has huge name actors ripping off huge name movies... but it just has a gritty real feeling. haha. Anyways, I highly recommend it. I thought it was one of the best comedies I have seen in years.
Although.. apparently I was one of the only people laughing in the theater. I just never noticed but the person sitting next to me said that no one laughed until I did. Maybe I just found it extra funny? who knows.
