My roommate tends to turn on random movies when he’s puttering in the kitchen. His preference is for action movies that he’s seen a zillion times, so he doesn’t have to actually pay ATTENTION … so there are several regular visitors to our living room.
The running joke started out as “Die Hard wasn’t on, so …”
It then turned into “Any Bruce Willis movie is Die Hard:” The Fifth ElementisDie Hard in Space, Armageddon isthe OTHER Die Hard in Space,Hudson HawkisDie Hard: the Musical, that black-and-white Frank Miller movie is Sin Hard, The Sixth Sense isDead Hard.
It has since transmogrified to “EveryCable-Staple Action Movie is Die Hard.” Captain America: the First Die Hard. The 6th Day isClone Hard. The third Mad Max movie is Beyond Die Hard. The CGI/MoCap Beowulf isDie Hard & Dragons.
I just walked out to get a sandwich. Real Steel was on.
Roommate: “Die Hard wasn’t on, so …"
Me:"Rock'em Sock'em Die Hard.”
Day 28
Reflections on: Dark Skies(2013)
- I mainly watched this because it stars Kerri Russell and I’m a fan of Felicity. Check it out hahaha
- Kerri Russell and Josh Hamilton play the parents of two boys - one is the kid from Real Steel (2011). If you haven’t seen this movie it’s just Rocky (1976) with dancing robots.
- This felt almost exactly like Poltergeist (1982) but with aliens instead of restless spirits and sadly none of the charm of the Spielberg movie. Yeah that’s right, I referred to Poltergeist as a Spielberg movie. What are you gonna do, Tobe Hooper?!
- Just like in Poltergeist, the weird happenings begin in the kitchen with mysterious messes and condiment installations. At one point a TV even plays the American national anthem, as it does in Poltergeist, but with a wobbly vibrato effect on it - because apparently aliens make things sound wiggly!
- The abduction elements were also very reminiscent of Close Enounters of the Third Kind (1977) and The X-Files. I love that kind of shit and find it genuinely freaky as I once woke up with mysterious bruises that I couldn’t explain! I want to believe, but alas, I am more of a Scully.
- J.K. Simmons plays an alien expert with many cats and a silly hat. His resources look like they’re straight out of The International UFO Museum and Research Center in Roswell, New Mexico. If you ever get a chance to go there you absolutely must. It’s a delightful treasure trove of bizarre dioramas with the same production value as an elementary school science fair.
- This looked incredibly bland - but I guess maybe that’s just what the suburbs can be like? Everything felt beige.
- My favourite scenes were anything that included art that was supposed to be drawn by children. Always a treat.
- You should probably just watch Poltergeist andFelicity instead! At the SAME TIME.
