I’ve spent the past 2 days on the trampoline with my son and nieces and I do mean like 4-6 hours a day, not just sporadic bouncing. I’d forgotten how much fun these freaking things are. They are also a great way to exercise without it feeling like exercise because you’re all giggly and having a blast while seeing who can bounce who higher without smacking them into the side guards or anything. More bouncy fun awaits me tonight when I get home from work too. There’s woo and hoo!
If you were planning on watching either Skinwalkers or Hatchet, spare yourself and just say “no” to them both. Skinwalkers was just plain B-A-D and Hatchet was funny but full of nothing but one cliche after another after another and thusly not terribly enjoyable. Sorry, but I prefer some originality with my horror, or at the very least a story that makes some kind of sense, not just buckets of blood spraying from a wound like some live-action Manga video. The “monster” was even lame and OMG so Jason Voorhies-like (and OMG played by the guy who plays Jason) but at least he growled and made noises and stuff, unlike Jason.
I used to have a trampoline, so much fun! Back when I was about 10/11 we used to love jumping at night time. On New Years we even bought confetti and bounced it around in the middle of the night and watched it glitter – sounds very unsafe (we didn’t have side guards) and it probably was, but it was the best fun! Lol.
I really wanted to see Hatchet, Bloody-Disgusting has given it some good feedback, but now I’m weary. Maybe one day! Skinwalkers looks like pure shit – too bad because Jason Behr was so hot back in his Roswell days, oh the good ol’ days.
Not a big breakfast person :/
Ooh! Confetti! Wanna talk unsafe? My friends and I used to hose mine down with water and bounce and slide all over the place. No sideguards or pads either. I’m seriously surprise no one broke their necks or arms or anything else. I’m playing it safe with the kiddies this go round. This one has side guards and padding covering the springs.
I’ve seen rave reviews for Hatchet all over the place and thought it sounded like so much fun. Then we popped it in and started rolling our eyes. Don’t get me wrong, there are some funny-ass moments in it and more blood than you can shake a stick at, but for the most part it’s just nothing but one giant cliche from start to finish. I know how you love your big buckets of blood though, so you might like it for that, but the rest of it would probably leave you rolling your eyes too. Skinwalkers was total crap. Jason Behr still has his hotness going for him, but I only just realized what a bad actor he is. Everyone else sucked too though, so it could have just been the bad dialogue rather than the actors themselves. Even the makeup and effects are crap.
BTW, did I tell you that I finally saw Hostel II? I actually liked it better than the first one and didn’t get totally squicked out by the carnage, other than being really disturbed by the Elizabeth Bathory-esque scene with Heather Matarazzo (sp?). I managed to keep watching though and did walk away from the film with a wee crush on Laruen German. I definitely need to see more of her work.
