So, last night, I went to see Mr. & Mrs. Smith with Margaret the other night. I’ve heard that the critics didn’t take too nicely to the movie. They’re stupid. The movie is touted as an action flick. Which it is, but I think people are taking this “action flick” thing way too seriously (people meaning “advertisers”). When John and Jane Smith hunt each other, it’s almost like Spy Versus Spy with Angelina Jolie in a little black dress. And then when they start fighting melee, it gets comical. If you can wrap your mind around that you can laugh at an action movie, this is honestly funny in a good way. Hell, part of it looks downright so fake it has to be puroposeful camp. It’s a really funny movie that I highly suggest watching. Oh, yeah, and Angelina’s really really hot.

I’ve also just got done with the Battlestar Galactica first season. HOLY CRAP This series has honestly got to be one of the best things ever to air on TV in… ever. It gets everything right. And then when the Cyclons (robots who blew up civilization-as-we-know-it) start preaching religion to the humans… it’s intense. Quote the Cyclon lady: “We are all God’s children”. The plot has more twists than the latest roller coaster. There are no flat characters in the show; everyone is at least fully dimentioned. Some, like the Adamas and the blonde Cyclon, are more faceted than a buckyball. And the last show of the first season just completely blew me away. I was literally breathless by the end of the show. It needs… it needs a position on prime time US TV on a major network. I can’t wait for the second season.

On a completely unrelated note, I’m going to start redecorating this site. I think Blog:CMS’s default themes are fugly, with the current one you see being the best available. I’m going to start learning how to theme this beast and hopefully start a theme repository. Failing that, I can always switch to WordPress.

Note Again: I switched to WordPress a long-ass time ago…
