1408

When Stephen King's novel "Everything's Eventual" first came out, I ran to the bookstore to get it. I consider Stephen King one of the few authors whose descriptive writing can scare the crap out of me. Early reviews of "Everything's Eventual" raved about the frightful stories within. I must say that though most of the stories were quite disturbing, the story that really got to me was one titled "1408". The story begins by introducing the main character Mike Enslin an author who wrote several books about Haunted dwellings that he stayed in over the years. Even though only 9 pages of the story take place in the room, it is those 9 pages that I became so freaked out that I vowed to never stay in a hotel again (obviously I got over my fear of hotel rooms). Anyway, today, while on my daily trailer hunt, I found a trailer for 1408 starring John Cusack and Samuel L. Jackson. You might remember THIS post in which I first mentioned the talks of a movie being made. At first glance it is abundantly clear that they have changed the story a bit. In fact, there are a few moments that I found almost comical. As disappointed as I am, I still have a desire to see this movie.

Check it out for yourself HERE.

I wonder how much blockbuster paid for this...

iTunes: "Changes" by 3 Doors Down

Not only is this the greatest EMO moment in movie history but it is also the most shameless use of product placement in movie history.

Now the two key words for tonight - "caution" and "flammable"

I was able to get my copy of WE3 today. Grant Morrison is pretty much a genius...well, as genius as you can get without being Neil Gaiman. Anyway, this book is all about these three animals that are turned into somewhat cyborgs. The Army uses them in super secret missions to kill crime lords and whatnot. I don't want to give too much away but it's pretty sweet. Oh man, if my dogs were cyborgs we could play "SUPER ultimate Frisbee" and I'd have them hunt down my mortal enemies. Stellar. I have to admit that no book or comic book has EVER made me cry, not even Watership Down and that's saying a lot. I wasn't even half way through WE3 when I found myself tearing up. Just thinking about the story makes me get all gooshey. ::sniff sniff:: It's just that good people...just that gosh darn good.

I was surprised to see that the USA network is playing "TORNADO!" aka a crappier version of Twister with Bruce Campbell. The only good thing about this movie is Bruce. Oh Bruce, your such a stud ::sigh::.

On a random side note: Bruce Campbell's character in "TORNADO!" went to the University of Missouri making Bruce Campbell even cooler, if that's even possible.

Uh..I have to return some videotapes.

In my Ears: "Radio/Video" by System of a Down
I am: orangilicious

I must say that ever since I watched "American Psycho" with Natalie, Hannah, and a random girl named Amanda (who seems very nice BTW) I have had the urge to randomly quote the movie but how do you work something like,

"My need to engage in homicidal behavior on a massive scale cannot be corrected,
but, ah, I have no other way to fulfill my needs. "

into a normal conversation? Surely, I will find a way.

Well, I am saddened to say that Natalie and I are currently fighting. Yes, I am making it publicly known. ::sheds a tear:: For you see, the other night...while watching "American Psycho" we reached the scene in which Christian Bale enters butt naked fashioning only a roaring chainsaw. To my surprise Natalie randomly burst out with, "Is it just me or does Christian Bale bare a striking resemblance to a young Bruce Campbell in this scene?" The room went silent. I immediately turned to Natalie and said, "I cannot believe you disgraced the name of Bruce Campbell by saying such a thing."

Hannah agreed.

I will have to forgive Natalie eventually for such a terrible comment for she did not know better. ::sigh::

On a random, more interesting topic, Mr. and Mrs. Smith was a intensely awesome movie. Ok...I wouldn't go that far, the whole plot was filled with holes but the fight scenes were stellar. "The movie entertained me on a level I didn't even know existed."
