5 count 'em FIVE newbies! OK, so yes, one sold almost immediately but we got four left, and they're the best of the lot! Finally a sweet cruiser, a FABULOUS early Caloi MTB momma picked up when I was at the doctors with Kaleb. Also FINALLY another three-wheeler! This one an excellent condition 20" folding Workman!!! And the pinnacle of pretty pedal powered propulsion a Raleigh 500 Sport! And we ain't stopping there! Picked up several more "diamonds in the rough" yesterday! A Schwinn that's frame I absolutely adore! Beautiful lines! Got a Trek 820 MTB, A Diamondback Wildwood, a lightweight Univega Hybrid, and several more candidates for the "DAILY BANGER SPECIAL" category! So keep an eye peeled for them later today!
So ANYWAY! I know weekends are usually the time for film reviews, but I got two today. Actually one review and one follow up on a previous review.
First the update. "Star Trek; Into Darkness" No I am not going to address the criticism from the "old School" camp of Trekkies, those die hard fans who feel TOS was the only one and all movies should follow that time line. I think they loose sight of the reality that "nature abhors stagnancy". In order to keep the franchise alive they had to recreate it. I'm good with that. No I'm speaking more of the camp of feminists who felt it necessary to vehemently oppose one particular scene in the film. Yes, my chauvinistic side is showing but I'm sorry some criticisms are just unfounded and blatantly ridiculous merely voice as a platform to further ones agenda. The scene in particular that is rising such ire is when Carol Marcus is changing from her uniform into an encounter suit and is shown in her undies. They site this scene as exploitative and unnecessary.
????
Um.
Obviously the directors intent was to show the tenuous sexually charged relationship her and Kirk later enjoy. They did have a son together after all! And for the sake of fairness I did not hear these Woman's groups complaining while Chris Pine pranced about the screen in his BVD'S In BOTH films! Talk about hypocritical!
ANYWAY!
After two days of humoring my whims by allowing me to watch marathons of Enterprise, Angela, justifiably requested a brake and to watch a flick last night instead. We choose the 1999 film "Friends and Lovers". It's cast sited Robert Downey Jr so I thought "why not" if he's in it.
enh.
I should have read the full cast compliment. Amongst others Claudia Schiffer and Steven Baldwin.
AHHHHHHHH!!!!
We should have known it would suck.
We only got through the first half hour and apparently we have both outgrown the twentysomething films featuring a cadre of close friends who live in cool apartments and drive cool cars and eat at trendy restaurants, and wear high fashions all the while dividing up into groups of males and females while out on a Christmas skiing vacation while they discuss stereotypical opinions with NO insight into relationships, penises and nipples.
Yes. Like the movie was written by a morning drive shock jock!
UGH!
And to top it off Robert was only in about 3 minutes of the first thirty, and he played an incidental German Ski bum?
BLECH!
Angela rolled her eyes, noticed that I wasn't laughing and suggested we just watch Fringe.
Didn't have to tell me twice!
So there ya go. You see it on Netflix just move along, move along.
