Game Night -- Inception -- Road to the WC: South Africa

We had a game night at the apartment complex where I live. The Woman had to host it or whatever, so i had to attend or whatever. It was more fun that I thought it would be.

The free food didn't hurt.




So as we were finishing up Acquire, some dude and his chick came to watch us play. Kind of weird, but kind of not, considering that we were the only ones left, they were friends of the manager, and we were very in to the game.

So I ended up losing in a very close fucking game dammitdellihateyou, and as we were finishing up they are asking lots of questions and we are all having a good time, making jokes and whatnot. You know, friend-making stuff.

They start talking about Inception.

"Y'all going to see that?"

"Yeah it looks awesome."

"It's out tonight. The midnight showing."

"Oh shitballs! Fuck me! It does, doesn't it! Fuck!"

Yes I really do curse a-fucking-lot. So we went. It was awesome.

Quickly: here are some reviews that I agree with: Movie Review -- i09.

Also quickly here is my take:

I came in expecting the film to be a be a prop for cgi. It was, but a fully-formed, entertaining, dare-I-say-enthralling prop. I didn't pick up on the heistiness of the movie until it was pointed out by the reviews I read. I could kick my self it was so obvious. That is a complement to the picture, I suppose. I wasn't absorbed in analyzing the movie because I was preoccupied by being entertained. Me being an adult, and having seen hundreds of movies in my lifetime, I could not help but wonder how they did certain things and notice an effect here and there. (When they walk up a 'wall' there is a mini-glitch.) Still, that did not distract from the aforementioned entertainment. I really didn't know what was going to happen and that is awesome. It means that the underlying formulaic structure was well hidden, as it should be. 


4/4 jalapeños. (Because I'm brown.) 


Before we went to the midnight showing we had two hours to kill. What does a group of five twenty-somethings do? If you said play videogames you are sadly correct!

Play we did.

I've had Fifa Road to the World Cup South Africa 2010 (pretty sure that is the official name) since like day three of the World Cup. What is the point of telling you this? Nothing, besides that I am awesome at it and even though I went 1-1 my win was more awesome so it probably should count for like ten wins so there.

So think about that shit before you want to challenge me.

Punk.
