You know, there was this dumb gorefest film in a claustrophic setting that counted Samuel L. Jackson among its stars and scary animals as the nemesis.  It was called "Deep Blue Sea".  It sucked and it did poorly.  Now we have "Pacific Air 121", with all the same core qualities, except this time it's been hyped to death, given a stupid yet catchy title, and somehow you people think it's the greatest thing since sliced bread.  It isn't.  It's still a stupid movie.  The whole "so dumb it's fun" thing has been done to death by pro wrestling, Norm McDonald, and the Bush Administration.  So if that's what you like, sure, go watch the movie.  But let's not pretend that somehow this dumb movie is better than other dumb movies.  I didn't see you people lining up to go watch "Dungeons & Dragons", after all.

I had a really fun time at my birthday party last night. On one side of me sat a boyfriend, and on the other side of me sat a Green Party guy who I played "spot the product placement" with. I also had a martini, a gin and tonic, and a rattlesnake/snakebite/something-or-other on board, and the audience was enthusiastic.

My snake-shaped birthday cake was great in concept, but disappointing in execution, though. (Part of the head slipped off, seeming to jump out of the fridge onto my hand, before it fell to the floor.)
