Sapphycakes hasn't been in chat all day. What am I supposed to do? I'm all lost and schtuff.

I saw four movies this weekend:

1. Original Sin - This wasn't as bad as a lot of critics made it out to be. For one things, it's got a couple of scenes with a naked Angelina Jolie, and those go a loooooong way. But even without them, it wasn't horrible. It was... okay.
   
2. The Others - Spookilicious. I enjoyed it thoroughly. If you like spooky movies (spooky like Sixth Sense, not gory like a slasher flick), you'll like this one.
   
3. American Pie 2 - A few funny spots, but basically predictable and most of the funny stuff was in the trailers and commercials. If they try to make another sequel, it will suck. These characters are done.
   
4. Osmosis Jones - A few parts were gross just for the sake of being gross, but there were a lot of subtle things that made me laugh. This'll be a great one for dvd where you can freeze-frame and see the jokes that fly by.

That brings my total up to 92 movies in the theater for the year 2001. I'll have another 3 or 4 this week, probably.

Joey's Top Ten Movie Theater Pet Peeves

1. Cell Phones - People who have ringing cell phones, and even worse those who answer them.
   
2. Loud eaters - both with popcorn and especially with noisy candy wrappers. This is especially annoying when the candy is brought in from outside.
   
3. Talkers - Don't talk once the movie starts. If you didn't hear a line, live with it. If you think you've guessed the plot, keep it to yourself.
   
4. Children - Those who are FAR to young for the movie. I was at a Life is Beautiful screening where a woman brought her three children, all under five or six. The movie is in Italian, for God's sake. If the movie is rated PG-13 or R, leave the young kids at home.
   
5. Teenagers - Was I like that when I was their age? I don't think so. They don't just talk during the films, they talk LOUDLY, and their friends laugh. That's why I don't go to teen movies on the weekends. I swear to God, I'm going to snap and punch a kid one of these days.
   
6. Late Comers - When I own a theater, I will close the doors once the previews are done. Be on time, dumbfucks.
   
7. Hot Dogs - The hot dogs are very rarely available, and when they are, the buns are stale and the condiments are nowhere to be found. This is a shame, especially considering that it's such a quiet food.
   
8. Trailers - There are so few trailers (these are the previews before the movies, if you didn't know) that are any good. They give away all the good parts and often the ending, too. It really pisses me off.
   
9. Poor Projection/Sound - This is what you get when you put an untrained minimum wage projectionist in the booth.
   
10. Poor Seating - They typically have seats that are hard to fit my fat ass in and no leg room at all. The newer theaters do a little better at this now.

I need to call the dentist again tomorrow. I still haven't seen him. They gave me a last-minute appointment. that I had to break and now I haven't heard from them again. My really bad tooth has been acting up lately, usually in the middle of the night. It sucks. I need to call and get a quick appointment if I can. Warning: You're about to learn too much about me! I take such horrible care of my teeth. I usually only brush once a day in the mornings, and I don't always do that. I almost never floss. Both brushing and flossing make my gums bleed, which sucks. I know that the dentist can make all this better, but I really don't want to get yelled at. And he/she (I'd always choose a woman if given a choice) will yell at me. And then he'll drill extra painfully as punishment.

Need to go to bed now. I love you all.
