More Snow Day

Got another one today. Hard to complain. The only bad thing about it is these days go by pretty slow because there's nothing to do, nowhere to go, good for a day but three would be too much. I need this week to go by a little quicker because this weekend will be sweet. UFC 94 on Saturday and Super Bowl on Sunday, emphasis on Saturday.

As far as my movie marathon, yesterday was a little disastrous. The one I chose to watch was The Delta Force, the most interminably long action movie I've ever seen. It was so fucking boring I wanted to shoot myself. How much crap can you try to cram into one terrible movie? A couple minutes for racism, a couple minutes for sensitivity, a couple minutes of patriotism, a couple minutes for romance, a couple minutes for torture, a couple minutes for family, on and on and on to make a 2 hour movie. And very very little fucking karate from Chuck Norris! I wanted to shoot myself in the face it was so ridiculous. And yet I didn't turn it off. Some kind of syndrome I have, I can't turn them off. Once I start a movie I have to finish it apparently. Like a couple weeks ago I was watching Excalibur. Not interested in it at all, but I couldn't shut it off. I get a half-hour in and I'm invested, no matter how awful. The other thing about this disappointment was that I completely had The Delta Force confused with Missing In Action. I thought I was about to watch Missing In Action, which I was excited about. Realized about 15 minutes in I had the movies completely mixed up. Anyway, horribly boring. And I love bad Chuck Norris movies. Last summer I watched The Octagon I would say 4 days in a row when I was disabled in Myrtle Beach. And LOVED it. So I will give Chuck Norris more chances, but he better not do this to me again.

Anyway, that ruined my whole movie day because after that one I didn't feel like watching any more movies. I ended up watching 5 episodes of The Shield. I think I have one episode to go and I'll be finished through season 4. This morning I got back on the movies with the suggested Lethal Weapon. Much MUCH better. That movie moves baby! That was funny, because it was about as long as The Delta Force, but Delta Force seemed about 6 times longer. Also, Lethal Weapon marks the second time this week I've seen a naked woman die in the first few minutes of a movie, having watched Marked For Death on Sunday. Later today I think I'll either watch another Lethal Weapon or take on a JCVD movie, probably either Hard Target or Lionheart. Another Lethal Weapon tidbit, Mel Gibson movies are becoming my go-to's for mornings of days off. For some reason they just work for me. Last Saturday morning I watched Mad Max and Sunday morning The Road Warrior and I had a blast. Goes great with a certain oatmeal I've been eating lately.
