Grindhouse review

If you really want to know my complete thoughts on Grindhouse, here's the review. It's a little on the long side, but then, the thing runs over three hours.

Dresden Files

Based on hearty recommendations from, um, everyone, I've ordered the first two books in Jim Butcher's Dresden Files series (thank you Amazon 4-for-3 deal, which totally allowed me to sneak in two DVDs). I'll let you know what I think as soon as I know.

Also, because of incessant teasing from my co-workers, up to and including my boss, I've just ordered Tron on DVD. Apparently, the fact that I haven't seen it only makes me half a geek. I'll show 'em. I'm not caving on The Last Starfighter or War Games, however.

Okay okay okay

You guys win this round. They're on order. I missed so much of 1980s cinema because I watched AMC growing up (back when it was decent) instead of HBO or one of those other movie channels. Unfortunately, when it comes to "geek cred" or "guy cred", Cary Grant and Boris Karloff don't pass muster anymore.

I ask you, is it a fault of mine or a fault of the process? I find any system suspect that denigrates the works of Cary Grant in favor of Matthew Broderick.

Shit. Does this mean I have geezer cred? I'm too young!
