All Hugh, All The Time!

mousmeI rented three movies! Go me!
However, apparently "Pitch Black" isn't available on DVD at my pitiful little local video store. Am displeased.
So instead I just watched "Unbreakable" which I started the other night at my parents' place but had to stop watching because my father kicked me out of the apartment. I believe it went something like this.
Maternal Unit: "Stay as long as you like. Why don't you see if there's something good on?"
Me: "Thanks! Ooh, look: 'Unbreakable's' on. I've wanted to see that for a while..." *starts watching 'Unbreakable'*
Paternal Unit: "It's 9:30. Go home."
Me: "..." *goes home*
Anyway, since I hate not finishing what I start, I rented it and finished it. So did not see the end coming, which was a nice change from "Sixth Sense," although if I didn't know better I would never have guessed it was the same director. Good stuff.
Have also rented "Kate & Leopold," which I had vaguely wanted to see when it came out and then never got around to seeing. Noticed that it starred Hugh Jackman, which I'd forgotten. Since I saw the vastly amusing "Van Helsing" yesterday with![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
joane and shenlo, I decided to continue my All Hugh All The Time streak and watch that too.
And I I got "Panic Room," because I seemed to recall Prospero's Daughter making noises about wanting to see it. I left her a message asking her to confirm this, and if my suspicions were right, we may watch it tomorrow. If not, well, I'll just watch it by myself.
In case you're all wondering at this total extravaganza on my part, my pitiful local video store has a special on "old" movies all the time, which is three dollars for three movies for three days. So I went all out. ^_-
Seeing Van Helsing was a load of fun, and for some reason made me want to go back and readladyjaida's Van Helsing/Dracula fanfic. So much better than the movie, anyway. ^_^
*bounce*
I feel vaguely creative tonight, and yet the writer's block is still firmly in place, at least as far as original stuff is concerned. How annoying.

Date: 2004-06-06 08:48 am (UTC)As for my parents, I'm not especially fussed. They don't function on the same wavelength at all, for one thing (my mother was surprised the next day to find out that he'd kicked me out), and for another my father was cranky and overtired that night, and has this thing where he acts like a five-year-old who needs a nap when he's overtired. ;)
After 25 years, I'm more or less used to these little things. It's the bigger things that get under my skin.
Hey....

I just borrowed it for the weekend, because there was a lot of Hugh in the air. ;)
See you tonight!

Must get me some Vin icons.
