building a better robot trap

tonight deirdre took me, randall, and her pal jimmy to see the new terminator movie (or termie as she's been lovingly calling it). now, you might think -- based on my other movie "reviews" -- that i love all movies and think they're all awesome and worth going to. this is completely false. to prove it to you i will say that terminator was neither awesome nor was it totally worth seeing in the theatre. i was sorta bored (and i have recently fallen into the terminator lore so it wasn't that the subject material bored me), thought it was just one big explosion (especially once you got to the second half), didn't like the way the robots looked (really those large ones look like transformers), and didn't care enough to connect with any of the characters (not even john freaking connor). if you're a diehard terminator fan, then go see it, you'll have fun. if you're a diehard action fan go see, you'll also have fun. if you love explosions and robots (although now that i've written that, i'm sort of wondering who wouldn't love explosions and robots), go and have fun. but other than that, meh, go see star trek again instead.

for tonight's photo, i was going to terminate my face. alas i have no silver pomade or red contacts, or time. so instead of sweet robot skull, you can find me building a better robot trap. i mean if a piece of rope can work for john connor (please don't get me started on that scene or those motorcycle robots), then i'm sure it can work for me.

ps. we had dosa for dinner. the food there never fails to make me happy.

pps. i'm not saying terminator is terrible, i'm just saying that it's not OMG YOU MUST GO NOW I HEARTS IT! on my "would you watch it on a plane scale" i give it a "sure beats another hand of solitaire, but no need to ask the stewardess to wake you up."
