Today is going to be a day of lists, I can feel it right now. Either that or I just make the one and never follow through on the others. Eh.

Top 10 Movies of the Year (so far):
1) The Hulk (smart, good, solid, and honest comic book spectacular, I can't remember thinking Nolte was talented before this)
2) A Mighty Wind (great music and
a consistent Christopher Guest mockumentary, nobody caught it, so see it on video)
3) X2 (the end tapered off a bit, but the first two thirds knocked my socks off and avoided the sophomore curse)
4) Finding Nemo (my least favorite Pixar film so far, but an average Pixar film is still a fun time)
5) The Italian Job (nothing new here, but it was fun, and a pretty cast and a good cover of Pink Floyd's "Money")
6) Identity (SPOILER ALERT: as much as I despise multiple personality thrillers, I had a good time with this one, it really suprised me, and I love John Cusack)
7) The Life of David Gale (one of those trite, preachy movies I should hate, but I'm whipped by Kevin Spacey, so it's all good)
8) Dreamcatcher (shit weasels aside, it must have been the group I was with (1st fox in the hizzzouse!) but I thought Kasdan did alright with this one and was unfairly panned)
9) Pirates of the Caribbean (lots of stupid dialogue, but Depp was hilarious, supported with a good cast, and the skeleton effects Verbinski used were awesome)
10) Terminator 3 (no characters, but a good ending, just going to show you that three-fourths of the best films of the year don't come out until the end of it)

Hey... Say what you want but movie's like "28 days later" and "LXG" at least deserve an honorable mention. I mean sure if you weren't so anal and you made a top 12 list....

Yah, wait until Return of King comes out. That movie will kick the most ass ever. And will totally make up for the lameness that was The Two Towers. And at the risk of sounding like a gag-inducing teenybopper over-hyped geeky fan(which...hmmm, that is exactly what I sound like) I saw the Aragorn teaser poster...

OHHHHHMAAAAAAHERUUUUUUUU!

As you can imagine, I had to get a mop to clean the mess I left at the cinema.

*cues "Ewww"*

BTW, I like the aqua. It's very calming.

See, I actually liked The Two Towers a lot, maybe even more so than the first.

Reminds me of Men In Black II, I thought we were going to have to forcibly return your jaw to its normal position after the TTT trailer came on.
