ebonlockQuickie weekend update:
Snakes on a Plane was one of the most satisfying movie going experiences I've ever had. I knew why I was going and what I wanted to see and I got just that. As far as horror-ish action-adventure flicks go it was a great deal of fun. Just turn your brain off and enjoy it if you go see it, and you should 'cause it sounds like the box office is way down on this one.
People, it's Sam Jackson doing what he does best, c'mon! And I have to say it was also one of the funniest films I've seen in a long time. Mostly intentionally, though when the bad guy comments that this plan was his "last resort" I lost my shit. I mean how many other plans do you have to work your way through before you settle on filling a plane to the rafters with deadly snakes? 50? 100?
Saturday was kind of lazy, I gave feedback to the troupe during practice and was just blown away by how amazing the routines look. I mean just stunning. They're going to wow the crowd at DDF. Afterwards I did a bit of laundry, then![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
moonlightnrain came over and we got burritos then watched "Syriana". If you haven't seen the movie, do so. Seriously, it should be required viewing, much like "An Inconvenient Truth". Just stunningly good, though it made me far more nauseated than SoaP ever could. If you really don't understand what's going on in the Middle East right now and why, this film will give you a good headstart on figuring it all out.
After that we opted for something a little more lighthearted and re-watched "Restoration" while both working on our respective Snupin stories. It was quite...inspiring :)
Sunday I slept in then ran some errands, did a little housework, and otherwise spent the day writing. Chapter 4 is pretty much done, now I just need to finish Chapter 5 and I put this baby to bed. I more than surpassed the 55,000 word goal for the weekend so I'm feeling pretty good about that.
