trinityvixenSince it seems that it's too late to really sleep before I leave for Perth, I thought I'd do a proper update now.
And I'm better now. I was horribly despondant, but thanks to folks for virtual hugs and the like. I extend one to Michelle, and a good luck with the move.
Right, so there really is no better way to end an evening of sheer Matrix madness then with something more mad--Freddy vs. Jason. I *finally* got around to seeing it, mostly because it was there when we finished Revolutions. Kate'd promised to go with, so I dragged her off. Darren and Ben joined in. It was kinda funny/annoying when the guy at the window said it was crap while we were buying tickets. Didn't matter, and he gave Kate and I an extra scan+win card. Apparently, this is the thing that, if you bought something from the snack bar, was what got you...dun dun dun! posters! We'd seen lots of people toting them in the theater, wondered what they were. I walked out of the previews and ads for one last toilet trip to find a poster sticking out of the garbage. Without any hesitation, I snagged it, and Ben summarily lent me his pocket knife to slit the tape on it.
SCORE! It was aRevolutions poster, the International version (which, for every place but the US is the normal version), with Neo and Trinity back to back in the code rain. Excellent! I wasn't going to buy it because I wasn't sure I liked the poster enough, but hey, you can't be free--and free from a garbage can? C'mon! Also, had good time learning rudimentary poker, especially as it gave me an excuse (do I ever need an excuse?) to quote Bill and Ted's: (Ted's looking all happy, Bill serious) Bill: Ted, you gotta have a poker face like me. (looks at hand) WHOA! THREE ACES!
Snicker.
But seriously, Freddy vs. Jason had lots of interesting parallels to The Matrix Revolutions--um, at one point Freddy came leaping out of the water kinda like Morpheus doing the flying thingy. Darren kept telling Jason--who'd been knocked out by Freddy possessing some Jay-wannabe (of Jay and Silent Bob fame)--to just realize it was his dream and he could do whatever he wanted in it and kick Freddy's ass. I kept yelling that Jason was in fact not the One, and the One and his crew had been battered pretty good recently so I doubted they were going to make any sort of rescue. Best part by far was the sassy black chick talking to Freddy to help the annoying lead girl and her stupid psyhco boyfriend get away. She's all like "wooo I ain't scared of you buddy" and Freddy's just listening, walking towards her with the claw-thingy he wears. Finally, she kinda stops when she sees he's all grinny and not the least put off by her speech. That's the kind of "boy are you going to pay for it look" you'd expect. ONLY IT WASN'T!!!! Instead, it was a "Well, that's nice, but you're still going to get it in about three....two....one...." Then Jason chops her in half from behind. Jason got a standing (well, really really loud if not standing) ovation from us four. He got another one later for creative use of an arm as a weapon.
What was really great was that I was being a total asshole and really loud in a theater because we were basically the only people there. I say this is great and 'basically' because I wasn't actually aware there were other people in the theater. A couple had come in after the previews started, and I thought for sure I'd seen them leave, probably because we were mocking the movie so loudly. I know a second group tried to theater hop in for it, and I know I saw them leave. From what I gathered, they weren't too interested in the movie, but it was still kinda of embarrassing, mostly for us. Ugh, seriously, Freddy vs. Jason might have had more fake boobs than a porno, but it is soooooo not a make-out movie. Sheesh. However, highly entertaining, old-school horror flick, good stuff, classic stuff like Jason's weird-ass music, Freddy transforming into something that eats somebody or whatever, you know, the good stuffs. Best 'versus' movie until Aliens vs. Predator. I actually made a point of being ridiculously excited about AvP, and managed to frighten the group. Go me! But seriously, I can't wait! I am going to start playing the game again when I get home as an alien then as a predator. Fuck the humans. They're just a bunch of flesh-bags. I know, I've seen every Alien and Predator movie ever made! And all the people I've eaten as an alien! Man, I gotta go play the chest bursting level again. That was fun!
Heee.
Went for ice cream, pretty good if not entirely decent! The best part was walking back and Kate swearing up and down that we'd passed the couple in the theater with us. I didn't get a good look at them in either place, but I believed her. It was too funny not to. Snerk. Then I got to spend the night pretending I hadn't slept in Alicyn's bed (kinda made it hard to sleep). Woke up and made lunch for Kate and Sasha. Fiiiiinally got Sasha's cds back to her, and we started looking for mp3s for them. oooh, CD-making here I come. I can burn them while I watch all the Futurama eps Darren was nice enough to burn me. Yay!
And then it was with the packing and the crying. I downloaded the song "Trinity Definitely" and just broke down utterly. It was good, it was cathartic. Talking to Michelle helped, too. She was in a similar state with regards to the end of our mutual obsession. But she's got to move and wasn't feeling well, so it was a short chat and off she went, me back to the packing and cleaning out of stuff.
Speaking of which, I needs to be finishing my eggs. I'm resolving to be ridiculously happy tonight as I'm not sleeping. I've only slept every other night this week. This is not a good habit. I can't wait to get to Perth, but when I get back, I'm studying for a day then sleeping for two. Sounds like a plan to me.

Freddy Vs Jason

Date: 2003-11-10 05:01 am (UTC)I'm afraid that doesn't apply to me. Even when I dream that I can fly, pass through walls, and move objects about by effort of will, I frequently don't realise I am dreaming.
Interesting, I'll have to try that. When I *want* to wake up, I usually dream that I have succeeded... until I realise I am still dreaming, then I try again! When I first saw American Werewolf in London the waking-up-twice in hospital scene scared me a lot (but then, I was quite young).
