Sucky and Unsucky Vampire Movies

Posted by: branwynne77 on: June 22, 2009

By sucky, I mean good.  That’s what vampires are supposed to do, right?  Suck?  So the opposite of that would be unsucky. That, by my new definition, means that a sucky vampire movie is excellent, two fangs up if you are into that, and an unsucky one is bad, a sacriliege of vampiredom.   The movies [...]

You’re the One that I Want (ooo oo ooooo)

Posted by: branwynne77 on: April 27, 2009

So I got tickets…free…to go see Grease on Saturday.   No problemo!  Free is a great price.  Apparently, my supervisor couldn’t go, so….she offered them and I grabbed them.  I’ve never been…and I will have to thank her on Monday; it was a real treat for me.  And for the roomie, since I had two tickets.
But, [...]

Cubicles Say A Lot

Posted by: branwynne77 on: March 15, 2009

Cubicles are reflections of the people that dwell within. Some have nothing personal in them, and some are full of Simpson and X-Men toys figurines. (Hey, how did ya figure out that last one was mine?) Here’s a couple of interpretations of the personalities that have been forced to occupy a cubicle:
Bare Bones:
This person does [...]

Halo Conversations

Posted by: branwynne77 on: November 11, 2008

~Boom!~ Sorry! I tossed a grenade. Why are you looking at me like that? You didn’t DIE…
OOH! Let ME have the rocket launcher!
Eat grenade, alien scum!
I love snipering someone with a rocket launcher.
Don’t get your metallic undies in a knot!
Help! HELLLP!!
 
I love Halo on the regular Xbox, particularily the co-operative play. Though the option to [...]

Bad Popular Books and/or Authors

Posted by: branwynne77 on: August 11, 2008

I am a professed and convicted bibliophile, sentencing my mind to forever reading both good and crudtacular novels. I love books. I love good books. I even love good bad books I love learn from truly horrifically written novels.
Like: V.C Andrews. Her first two series, anyway. (The NUMEROUS series written by her ghostwriter are dull [...]

‘Roid Rage

Posted by: branwynne77 on: June 23, 2008

So I just saw The Incredible Hulk…and loved it. It was a fun escape from the toils and tribulations of this workaday world.
It’s completely different from Ang Lee’s version–Ang Lee tried to present a more cerebral vision of the brawny green giant and that didn’t exactly pan out. I guess one shouldn’t overthink a character [...]

In Short…

Posted by: branwynne77 on: May 20, 2008

Sweeney Todd + Tim Burton = homicidal awesomeness.  Yeah, I borrowed that word from the ISB.** What’s that blogger gonna do to me? Give me paper cuts from horrible, outdated, misogynistic comic books? I kid, I kid.
In truth, there IS a hero in this movie, but it ain’t Sweeney. Duh, I know.  And it ain’t [...]

Iron Man

Posted by: branwynne77 on: May 11, 2008

I had heard good things about this movie, so I went in expected a fun popcorn flick. Thrills, chills and pop spills…all of that. Robert Downey Jr is a great, underrated actor, so I was anticipating a good job from him. Gwyneth Paltrow gave an adequate performance also. I barely recognized Jeff Bridges; I thought [...]
