Last night I went to the local Multiplex Cinema to see Red Dragon. When I get there I was informed that tickets were $9.00 and a large popcorn was $5.00. I only had $10.00 on me, I couldn't aford both. So, I bought the popcorn and went home. Actually, I ate the popcorn on the way out the door, so I went back and bought another. This left me without enough money to rent a video from Blockbuster.
Because I was out of options, I went home and found a showing of The Fugitive on TBS.
Wow, what a great movie! Our hero, a guy who didn't kill his wife, goes on the run from the cops. He's played by that Han Solo guy. He's alone in his adventure in this movie, doesn't even have the companionship of Chewie, although he does look a lot like a wookie before he shaves his beard off.
He must do everything himself, including sewing up a wound he gets. That scene is interesting.. I wanted to both look away and stare at it at the same time. On one hand we have the gory and yuckieness of his wound, but on the other we can also see half his ass.
Tommy Lee Jones plays him who knows too much. Real cops aren't that smart, but I'm too patriotic to say that.
The real killer is a one armed man who kicks Ford's ass, which isn't saying much for him. Plus, he can't prove he's the real killer during the trial. But, somehow in the matter of just days Ford gathers enough evidence to prove the one armed is the real killer when the cops and lawyers couldn't in months.
It was about that time a commercial came on for Red Dragon, which reminded me of the popcorn I ate earlier and I got hungry. So I got up to make some, but when I got back Nick had taken my place and changed the channel to Everybody Loves Raymond. I hate that show, but I couldn't argue with a cutey like Nick. I asked Nick if I could watch with him. He said it'd be okay as long as I didn't sit too close to him.
It doesn't matter anyhow that I didn't like the show because I just stared at Nick the whole time. Or at least until he turned to me and yelled at me for freaking him out.
I felt offended so I ran to my room and cried. But after a little while I just looked myself in the mirror and vowed to I wouldn't let the bigger boys get to me anymore. I ate the Jiffy Pop I made and felt a lot better.
After all this the movie was over. I don't really know how it ended, but it was really good.
