braindead ramblings and burning questions

thehefnerI meant to go to sleep three hours ago. Then I started flipping around TV and started watching Blacula, Jurassic Park III, and IT simultaneously.
I believe the boxer Jack Johnson said it best: "I shoulda stood in bed." Or at least, gone to bed. Because those movies just weren't worth it.
I've said it before and I'll say it again: even for the shoddy made-for-TV production values, Tim Curry as an evil clown is infinitely scarier than a big spider. And seriously, what's up with that big spider fight? "Hey guys, don't look into the light, or you... oooh, pretty light." "Hey, what are you doing, don't look in the... oooh, pretty light." "Hey, guys, stop, you... oooh." And then they all become cult members and eviscerate the big spider. WTF? I'm still banking on the book being good. After all, if I had to judge 'SALEM'S LOT by the made-for-TV movies, well...
And why don't we just call JPIII Sam Neill and Bill Macy's mutual "paycheck" movies? And is Tea Leoni just constantly getting cast as the hateable bitch these days? And what was with the whole carayzee funky new dinosaur? OOH, WATCH OUT, IT'S BIGGER AND NASTIER THAN A T-REX! God damn, they even have Mary Sue dinosaurs now.
And speaking of Mary Sues, my God how much I wanted to KILL Magma in X-MEN LEGENDS. Arg.
I will say this, though: it's amazing to listen to the Jurassic Park theme by John Williams and be transported back twelve years to when I was in fifth grade, thought JP was the greatest movie ever made, dreampt of growing up to become a palentologist and teaming up with a robotic cyborg Robert Muldoon who you just KNOW survived the raptors because he is so badass. Plus, for some reason, he had Johnny Cage's Shadow Kick capabilties.
I am the Eater of Worlds and of Children. Or at the very least, pie. Pie first, then the worlds and the children.
