Sinister: i don't get along with scary movies

[kerry]

hello sinisterines.
i can't hold back anymore, i just have to ask who gave me a list 
crush vote. please tell me, it's ripping me up inside wondering who 
the secret admirer is.
but, since i know how sick you people get of hearing about list crush 
votes, i'll stop talking about it now.
onto bigger and better things. have any of you seen the short films 
by/about tenacious D, "the greatest band on earth"? they showed them 
on Mr. Show (on HBO here in the US) a few years back, and i think 
they may have shown them on saturday night live, too. but since i 
don't watch either of those shows i have no idea how recently the 
short films have been shown. now, you may be asking yourself, "how 
would she know about these films if she doesn't watch the television 
programs they were aired on?" well, kids, the answer to that is quite 
simple: my friend's older sister taped them and i watched them at her 
house a couple years back. so there. :P
anyway, the point of all this is that i'm becoming more willing to 
get past my dislike of john cusack to see high fidelity simply 
because one of the guys from tenacious d is in it. i'm not sure if 
it's a big part or not, but he's so funny i think i may go see the 
movie when it comes to town.
and about the subject line: i've started renting movies now that i 
can watch them on my computer and i need something to do when i don't 
feel like working. last night i rented scream 2 because i was curious 
and i really like the first one. anyway, that was a mistake. my house 
of 7 people is empty because it's spring break, i live on the 3rd 
floor, and it was raining last night. i spent some portions of the 
movie lying on my bed with my pillow over my head. but, luckily, i 
rented dark city, as well, so that when i finally did go to bed i had 
pleasant images in my head instead of blood and gore. and knives.
one of my favorite things about movies like scream is spending the 
bulk of the movie trying to figure out who's going to die, and who 
the killer is. i was so disappointed at the end when i discovered 
that i'd identified one of the killers in the first 20 minutes of the 
movie. bastards. they made it too easy this time. oh well. and 
figuring who would die wasn't so hard, all i had to do was see who 
the cast of scream 3 was and then figure that anybody who wasn't in 
that was as good as dead. ahh, but i'll stop all this talk of scary 
movies now. it's not very twee, is it?
i'm actually just killing time until friends comes on. yes, i admit 
it, i like that horrible show. i think it's hilarious. i'm not sure 
why, but i can easily say that even if you hate most of the people in 
it (as i do), lisa kudrow makes it all worthwhile. i mean, have you 
people seen clockwatchers? or romy and michelle's high school 
reunion? fucking GRATE movies.
i didn't think i'd like romy and michelle's . . . at first. but then 
a friend of mine sat me and some other kids down and forced us to 
watch it. after that, every time i went out to rent a video with a 
different friend, we inevitably migrated over to where romy and 
michelle's was, and now i own it. ;)

alas, i've got nothing left to say, so i'll leave you be.
