I know I mentioned that I'd write about Alone in the Dark as soon as we got back from the theater, but by the time we did it was late.

So, only slightly belated...

((and those of you who haven't seen it yet can read this safely; no major spoilers. Just goofiness))

First off, let's deal with the other reviews.

1) It wasn't nearly as bad as a lot of the critics are saying. But then, I'm used to thinking that about many movies I'm fond of. lol
2) Tara Reid wasn't abysmal in it. Did she deserve to win an Oscar? No, but there's only so much to be done with standard action-movie dialogue. She wouldn't have been my first choice, really (I would've been. Heh), but she was okay.

Overall, if it wasn't for a certain member of the cast, I probably wouldn't have seen it in the theater. And if my brain and my hormones could've actually had a conversation while watching this movie, this is what it would've been like....



Hormones: Hey, on a plane. Soon this plane will crash on an apparently-deserted island. Heh. *looks around for Sayid and Sawyer and--*

Brain: It's not that kind of movie.

Hormones: Can't blame a girl for trying.

Brain: Yes, I can.

----------

Hormones: Okay, his shirt's off, this is good... keep going.

Brain: Oy vey.

---------

Brain: Now there's some 'almost time for a sex scene' music if I've ever heard any.

Hormones: What took you so long to go over to the bed, woman?? Sheesh, what do I have to do, give some lessons in the art of pouncing? *glances over at Brain* You're not snarking at me. Hello?

Brain: I'm sorry. The thought processes you're trying to reach are currently disconnected. Please try again later.

Hormones: Ha. I am in charge! I control the horizontal. I control the vertical. ...and speaking of horizontal... heh.

Brain: This is exactly why you're never going to take over the world. Instead of making important world domination plots, you're making bad jokes." *pause* And if you say anything about the word 'domination', I will kill you.

Hormones: *whistles innocently*

----------

Brain: Did the same people who worked on the Resident Evil game work on this one? I think there might be similarities. Do you?

Hormones: Don't remember the plot, I was too busy staring at Oded Fehr.

Brain: Not the sequel, you nitwit, the first one. What was the storyline?

Hormones: Hmmm. Let me see...no one to zone about. Don't remember.

---------

Brain: Hold up. They're going through the line-of-getting-guns before going monster-hunting, and everyone gets a gun except her? What's up with that? She was shooting at things earlier in the movie. I'd be like, "Hell with you people, at least give me a pistol, I can manage to hold that and the flashlight, thanks". Agree with me, here.

Hormones: *is too busy having fond memories of Broken Arrow due to the whole abandoned mine thing to pay attention*

Brain: You are so completely not helpful. Never mind.

---------

Brain: And here's the ending credits. Well, that was a fun little movie. Might not normally get it on DVD, but--

Hormones: Mine.

Brain: No problem.

Hormones: See? I told you that you always listen to me.

Brain: Oh, hush.

Hee hee hee hee! That was amusing. And I love Broken Arrow!

"You're out of your mind."
"Yeah, ain't it cool?"

Oh man, I've seen that movie *way* too many times.

My cousin and I watched it four times the day it came out to rent-- she and I watched it, then grandma wanted to see it, then mom came home and wanted to watch it, and then my aunt got back from the store and wanted to watch it. I can recognize it by the opening notes of music in the credits now, it's pretty sad. LOL

Also, what is your icon from? Cause one of the reasons I checked you out initially was that I was, uh, attracted to your icon.

The other was your use of the word "diminutive."

The what?

(Is this like the Labyrinth song?)

[allthelivesofme.livejournal.com]

Now I have that song stuck in my head. lol

Let me try this again, and actually try to type properly. LOL The icon is from an illustration that Norma Peters did for me-- the character's name is Stace; she's a main character in one of the novels my friend and I wrote.

Ah. That's way cool. I like all the wispy hairs coming out from underneath the crown.

[allthelivesofme.livejournal.com]

Yeah, Norma's a really good artist-- This (http://elfwood.lysator.liu.se/loth/p/e/peters/peters.html) is her Elfwood gallery, in case you want to see some more of her work. :-)
