The first Friday of the new yearFollow

Unless they catch whatever she has, and while their immune system is busy fighting it off *BAM* pneumonia. Then they die. Think about all the people who are going to have to plan a funeral and junk, just because one girl decided to go out to dinner instead of doing the responsible thing and ordering in.


Honestly, Ugly, I expected more from you.

It reduces the surplus population. Win.

I remember seeing a Chinese (or Korean? Some Asian Country) Swedish apparently... film on Netflix last year called Girl with the Dragon Tattoo. I haven't bothered to look it up, but is this new film a US Adaptation of that one, or is it just a different movie with the same name?

Same movie (based on the book with the same name), but Swedish movie was the "original" movie and the US is considered the interloper. Fantastic interloper, but interloper nonetheless.

The rape/torture scenes are not "graphic" in the sense that you see blood and sharp things causing pain to squishy things (the Hostel/Saw route), but they're very emotionally charged. The most disturbing (and important) one in the second act is stretched out, and definitely invests you in the characters.

I went into this movie having neither read the book nor seen the original Swedish film, or knowing anything about the story whatsoever. The only thing I needed to know was that the movie was directed by David Fincher, who also directed Se7en, The Game, Fight Club, Zodiac, and The Social Network. A pretty outstanding resume.

Well, ugh. It's not a squeamishness about anatomy that bothers me, it's just empathizing too much with horrible things being shown happening to people. I go way beyond "Oh, sucks for that girl", and get that sick feeling in my stomach that you get when you see something horrible in real life.

Meh, apology unnecessary. It's say right in your title you lack soul.

I on the other hand bought my soul for a mere 18,000 dollars.

Damn time travelers. Six days into the year and they tell us the rest of the movies for the year are gonna be crap.

I think i'll go see that new sherlock holmes movie. I liked the first one. That and if it is dry enough, maybe take the new helicopter upgrades for a spin!





Edit: Thats an eflite MCPX - now modified to version 2 specifications, also with a new aluminum swashplate, blade grips and primary rotor head. Which doesn't look like that much different than a normal radio control helicopter, until you realize that the entire thing is only 3 inches tall...

Going to be resting/recovering this weekend. My Christmas vacation consisted of being mildly sick for about a week (scratchy throat, slight cough), then progressed into full chest cold, heavy cough, hot and cold flashes and dizziness. New Years plans were scrapped (for me anyway) since I was at the height of ickyness that day. It's been lingering this whole week. Finally decided to just drop the stupid cold medication since it doesn't seem to be doing anything (other than making my damn kidneys hurt despite massive fluid intake). So at least I don't have the medicine-head bit going right now. And my cough is actually better today. Yay!

To top it off, my bluray player crapped out on me right after I finished my annual Christmas LoTR marathon (so about last Wednesday). Been too brain fried to shop for a new one, so my TV options have been mostly me sitting in a dazed state watching random stuff on TruTV (the "Top 20 Worst X" shows with the C-list celebs is actually pretty darn funny. Or it may just have been the delirium). Oh! I did re-watch Game of Thrones OnDemand though, so there is that.


So basically trying to ease back into a normal schedule. Go me!

So I started having trouble breathing and I went to urgent care and apparently I have a raging bacterial infection in my throat that decided to try invading my lungs and I was on the rapid road to pneumonia.

I spent my afternoon on a respirator.

oh get well soon.

Bacterial infections suck. I was down for a month with one - over the whole holiday I had to not really drink because my insides were tender

:(

Any logic behind the suggestion?
