Martha Stewart, eat your heart out
Jun. 24th, 2007 09:57 pmI feel so productive for no good reason. It's because it's really procrastination (productination!). I'm purposefully just NOT writing that last paper for class. I've decided to make it as bullshitty as I want. I spent a good two-three hours total researching a few quotes from a couple of books to supplement my thesis, and then I'm just writing about movies for the rest of it. Good enough for me.
The super came by this morning. ( He was saved from MURDERATION only by sleep deprivation and apartment-related shopping. )
Sleep deprivation happened because I got home at like 5 am this morning. I stayed up most of the night with![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
kent_allard_jr, moonlightalice (who is the Devil, by the way), and wellgull watching Die Hard and Die Hard 2: Die Harder. Die Hard is fucking awesome still. I'd never seen Die Hard 2, and it turns out I wasn't missing anything. It suffers from Derivative Sequel Syndrome, which is not helped by the fact that everyone is loving on McClane or else really obviously hating him only to come around by movie's end. It made picking out the fake-out good-guy/bad-guy pretty easy. I also figured out how the bad guys were going down fifteen minutes before it happened. I more look forward to Die Hard with a Vengeance for the umpteenth time. At least that one was genuinely funny, even if it, too, was retread of the first movie.
How did I come to be watching all the Die Hard movies? Uh...
I...I was weak, my friends. I discovered, while cleaning up a bit in my room, that I had some Best Buy bucks I hadn't used up. This is the most dangerous discovery since the nuclear fusion bomb. For me, anyway. Because my already nonexistent willpower was overcome, and I went and got myself Animaniacs Vol 3, which was on sale. And Office Space (which I bought another copy of for my Dad's belated Father's Day present; and now I get a $5 gift card and I am in more trouble). And, and this is whymoonlightalice is THE DEVIL, I got the Die Hard collection. I like the first and third one enough to own both, and the set was cheaper than buying them apart. I also now have another "free" ticket to see Live Free or Die Hard, which means it really will only cost me $3 to see the movie. So that's a good deal, even if I shouldn't have gone and spent EVEN MORE MONEY on DVDs like I just did. Sigh. Will power. MUST LOOK INTO GETTING SOME.
Fortunately, perusing my DVD collection after having gotten back most of what I loaned to themoonlightalice/wellgull household, I don't have quite 200 DVDs. This is a relief. Oh, but speaking of DVDs--wellgull has told me that he doesn't have movie I swore I loaned to him, so would anyone else remember me loaning them The Bourne Identity/Supremacy and Batman Begins?
