Jason watches "Shoot 'em Up"

I just wanted to see a brainless all-action-no-plot movie, inspired by this cartoon.

And yes, this was dumb, brainless, all-action very little talking. Clive Owen, Paul Giamatti, and Monica Bellucci are totally slumming here, but they bring more than enough talent to lift this movie waaaay above the quality it deserves. And they look like they're having great fun doing it.

Still, I think "Crank" comes closer to all-action-no-plot perfection. And now I really wanna see "River Tam Beat Up Everyone".

You may just get your wish....

even if it is going to be on {groan} television:

She makes one hell of an ass-kicking cyborg, if the online-leaked pilot is any indication.

Too bad it'll be on television, but that's where we all fell in love with Summer Glau anyway. Maybe if these "Sarah Conner Chronicles" are good enough, they'll make a movie based on it?

BTW, I haven't been attending, but the Parkway theater has been showing "Firefly" on the big screen fairly regularly. They're showing the last three episodes next Thursday, but then they're starting over with "Serenity" in November.

Oh yea, I know of it... I went to one a couple months back.. I'm gonna try to get to the one next week, particularly since I can actually walk to the Parkway from my apt.

Not sure I'll be around for the one in November.. Depends on when it is, since I go home (NY) every year for Thanksgiving. It is nice to see it on the big screen, tho... amongst fellow fans.
