2 movies you ought not to see

another IM blog. but i liked how i phrased it, so i'm sticking it here too.

Lyra1231: i watched 3 movies on that flight!
ericthehodgeheG: which ones?
Lyra1231: house of sand and fog (depressing), starsky and hutch (1.5 times), and lord of the rings
ericthehodgeheG: house of sand and fog was just terrible
ericthehodgeheG: it was the same movie as 21 grams
Lyra1231: noo!
Lyra1231: it was so different!
Lyra1231: just because they were both sad!
Lyra1231: did you get a new computer?
ericthehodgeheG: no?
ericthehodgeheG: why
ericthehodgeheG: they were sad
ericthehodgeheG: i don't think they were "good" in any sense
ericthehodgeheG: they made me feel emotion only because of the EXTREMELY TERRIBLE THINGS that happened to them OVER AND OVER AND OVER and only got PROGRESSIVELY WORSE
Lyra1231: 21 grams was a little too much
Lyra1231: you're becoming old
ericthehodgeheG: what??
Lyra1231: if you need caps lock to effectively express emotion
Lyra1231: old and cranky
ericthehodgeheG: you misunderstand
ericthehodgeheG: i'm imitating the movie
Lyra1231: OLD AND CRANKY
ericthehodgeheG: bludgeoning you what i want you to take in
ericthehodgeheG: that's how the movie did it, with caps lock
ericthehodgeheG: i like my explanation a lot. i'm going to put this on my blog and hopefully i can stop at least one person from seeing either of those movies
Lyra1231: as always eric, struggling for justice and the greater good.
Lyra1231: i LIKED house of sand and fog
Lyra1231: the kid has to die, to show that the worlds of the two families can't coexist peacefully
ericthehodgeheG: yes, the kid, the one who deserves it the least
ericthehodgeheG: to pull at the viewers' heartstrings
Lyra1231: they didn't have to kill themselves though
Lyra1231: why did he kill his wife??
Lyra1231: she must have known deep down her kid was dead
ericthehodgeheG: the writer thinks death = meaning, or some shit
ericthehodgeheG: i saw both of those movies and i think i am worse off for it
