Ok, a few notes: I haven’t posted in a number of days (blame Nikolai (who promised me he’d post something making fun of foreigners pretty soon)) I did catch two new movies in the theater RocknRolla and Quantum of Solace, both ok, neither great…Quantum was better then the bad reviews make it out to be, but it was a little disapointing as a follow-up to Casino Royale. Speaking of Bond, the other night I got mildly (extremely) drunk and bought every James Bond movie for 80 bucks on Amazon. So the plan is, after this whole 50 movies thing is done, I’m going to watch and review every James Bond movie…God I’m sure you just can’t wait. Huzzah.
Anyway, I’m not going to review the two movies I saw in the theater. Instead, Kevin Smith.
A Threevening is the third (duh) of the Kevin Smith q&a storytime happy fun time movies. So, it’s basically Kevin Smith telling funny stories and taking questions from the audience. I imagine that most people can figure out if they have any interest in the movie based on those two sentences, but I’ll go on because, you know, I talk too much. Ok, actually I don’t have much to say. It’s not like this movie has what you’d call cinematography, it’s Kevin Smith standing on stage and being sweaty. The stories are pretty damn funny, it’s much better than the second of the series although not as good as the first (which was amazing), probably because it’s all from one event rather than three. Just like in the other two “evening” films, the worst part is the audience members attempting to be funny, seriously, just let Kevin Smith ramble. But aside from those bits of loserdom, it’s hilarious. Go rent it. Sorry for the lame review.
Oh, I’ll also try to post some academic junk before Thanksgiving (Eriugena FTW!). Hold your breath.

I did like Quantum of Solace but it really lacked a big story and a consistent story. I am assuming that the “big” conspiracy is for the next movie. But seriously the big plot was to make money by dehydrating Bolivians? Weak.
PS:
“No soul shall walk save you”?? and who is Robert Cunningham Jr?
