ECW on SciFi, Hellraiser, Blue Car and a video store worker
Am I the only one that this seems weird to?
My curiosity meant that I HAD to tune to it last night at 10:00 p.m. I managed to watch for about ten minutes or so. I'll not get those minutes back. Hellraiser: Hellworld was on afterward...had to set TiVo to record that, since I couldn't stay awake for it. I'm sure I'll regret not being able to get those minutes back.
IFC ran a heartbreaking movie the other day: Blue Car. I've been telling all of my office about it, and so I tell you out there on LJ as well. It hit the right chords with me, but it will most likely not do the same with everyone else.
Redeemed a free movie rental at Movie Gallery yesterday as well, grabbing The Family Stone (what can I say? I'm a sucker for Rachel McAdams) and A History of Violence. I happened to have Jonothan with me for the trip to Movie Gallery and the library as well, so I don't know if that's why the clerk started to say, "Well, A History of Violence has some scenes that kids probably..." which is where I cut her off saying, "I know, it's a David Cronenberg movie and he's made some doozies..." at which point I described a bit about Shivers, Videodrome, and Crash to her (making sure that I mentioned that he did not direct the most recent movie named Crash but another one).
I only wish I'd had a camera to record the look on her face as I trumped her movie knowledge--though she did say she saw the preview for Cronenberg's Crash somewhere.
I'm such a schmuck, I know.

I couldn't believe I was watching that, yet could not turn away. That Cronenberg, he's something alright. I have to say that eXistenZ has grown on me. Didn't like it the first two times, but I just can't resist Jennifer Jason Leigh--much like I can't resist Rachel McAdams (rrrrowr! I'm sad, I know).
I still haven't watched Red Eye, Rachel likes Cillian Murphy as well, so it wouldn't be a hard sell for her, unlike say, Hostel or Wolf Creek. She didn't do too well with High Tension, and I have to admit, I cringed at a few points there. I'm getting old, as I keep saying.
We would've OWNED the customers if we'd worked at the same video store. :)
