Scarform’s Blog

my problem with you is your face.

Double-mint gum. Stick ‘em up. Be really catchy. I dare you. Often the phrase “did you mean that” is placed upon words that scar the form, break the spirit, harm the mind. But when they’re displaced upon the mind that is going seventy-five thousand miles per hour, what could that mean?

translation: I’m tired, need a cigarette, and then need about 20 years of sleep. On another note? The design process for this site has now taken a new turn since I’m not only doing my own site, I’m now coming up with things for the Riverdale site… which may or may not be used.

f.u.c.k.

Promotion

I got a promotion yesterday - from uniform to khakis, button shirt and tie - from trainee to Marketing Coordinator (manager in training now). My first night as such included:

* Going to every post in the theater and sort of re-learning everything, the biggest being the projection booth. About thirty thousand steps later, … huh? Repetition is the key to learning that part. Who knew threading a projector could be so insanely difficult?
* Staying until 3 in the morning as the Little Rock Film Festival (Link) wrapped up for the night with “Dog Soldiers”. Even got a dvd of “Boo” and a “Dog Soldiers” poster signed by the producer after the q&a! He had a lot of interesting things to say - about the film and Hollywood in general. Also almost ran into an old friend of mine, but .. it was 2:30 in the morning and I hadn’t seen him in about 6 years and didn’t really have anything to say. Awkwardness avoided?
* Learning to close down for the night, which I will do more of (myself instead of watching) tonight - which includes counting down drawers and closing out the computer with reports.

It’s a lot of new responsibilities and I feel that I’m ready to take these challenges as they are presented. It’s so unreal how things look from the manager perspective as opposed to the employee. Weird.

Dick in a box

Holy shite!

What’s playing?

Two of these I’ve seen, some of them I don’t want to see, and for the most part, I’m just talking out of my ass. But who really cares? The movie business is a cut throat industry - can’t take it, might as well leave.

Are We Done Yet?

It’s another crappy sequel to another crappy movie. Ice Cube is doing the white-black guy thing and playing another family friendly role while still sporting his gang tats and trying to squeeze on some ass while pretending to enjoy his own personal toilet and striking some prissy modelesque pose on the porcelain throne. What a douche. The only thing worse than his acting is that time I ate at McDonalds and found the manager’s used syringe in my fruit salad full of human waste.

Blades of Glory

Will Ferrel is “the man who can play any role”. That dude is like another imitation version of what Robin Williams used to be - so desperate for work that he’d play anything - including a transexual nanny with more sexual overtones than a porno with Swedish subtitles and the letters PG. Or was it PG13? Either way, we were teaching our kids at a young age that it was okay to wear mommy’s make-up and make retarded jokes about hot flashes. John H… however you spell his name - Napoleon Dynamite - plays a gay ice skater who wears a lot of make-up and isn’t above (or beyond) the jokes that involve two men touching each other’s testicles while skating on ice in front of a bunch of people who can’t get enough of it. And what a wonderful jump-in appearance by Mr. Finni!

Disturbia

The boom mike actually makes more screen time than the stars of this movie. I’d give it a tagline of Hallmark meets that one movie that everybody knows with the guy in the wheelchair who spies on his neighbor and thinks that he kills his wife … only much better. A little slow at some points - and in others the scripts just makes me want to lean forward to however is sitting in front of me and slap them so hard that become impotent right there on the spot - but for the most part, pretty good.

Fracture

I hate Law and Order. I hate CSI. I hate all of the god damned clones of these two stupid series, and I hate Fracture. OMG I totally killed my wife in the face but oh no - what’s this? The gun has no prints on it! My wife was having an affair with the arresting officer! They totally gave away the entire movie in the preview! What a total waste of my fucking time! Who saw it coming in the end where Anthony Hopkins probably dies and or that stupid lawyer that is starring in everything now? Were those references to movies that Hopkins was in that were much better than this crap fest? Probably.

Georgia Rule

The god damn main character’s name is fucking Georgia. How fucking retarded and cliche is that? And they say the fucking name of the movie like a million times throughout - like you forgot what stupid piece of directors shit you were watching in the first place - and the only drawing factor? Lohan is kind of slutty in this. She goes on some guy in a boat - and I guarantee you all the mom’s in the audience covered their children’s eyes while saying something stupid like “Oh the joys of childhood” or some shit. This movie (and all others that exist like this for the sole point of justifying some stupid ideation of how women cling together and form some sort of retarded bond bred of sex and masturbatory aids) makes me want to pour gasoline down my throat, light a match, and explode with happiness! Yippee!

The Invisible

This movie in thirty seconds (or less):
I’m smart, I’m bold, I’m drunk, I’m dead, I’m confused, I’m mad, I’m helpful, I’m hopeful, I’m in love, I’m alive, I’m sad, the end.

Lucky You

Oh boy, there’s a void in the movie industry that was just screaming to be filled - poker movies! I can’t get enough of thirty year old nobodies sitting around a table betting millions and millions of dollars on a totally random situation. What a fucking amazing thing this is! Who said the American spirit was dead? The only real reason to see this? Drew Barrymore looks like total white trash. That, and it’s a perfect movie to get about an hour and a half’s worth of shut eye.

Next

Nick Cage is a psychic who can see 2 minutes into his own future. Whoops, I think I ruined some part of it. Oh, and one of the main terrorists? Gets killed - IN THE PREVIEW! Please, Hollywood - stop showing me crucial moments from the film in the mother fucking previews! Make me WANT to spend 10 bucks to see this shit! And when it goes CGI - you will notice.

Spider Man 3

Geek boys have been spraying their shorts ever since the announcement of this one - OMG, that one dude didn’t kill uncle Ben, it was that other guy from Wings! And he’s made of sand… for some reason. And look, Harry Osbourne is the Hobgoblin and he knows Peter Parker is Spiderman and there’s Eric Foreman playing what is supposed to be a macho jock guy who later becomes Venom after Spiderman gets the ooze on him and then off of him only to have a final fight with Venom and beat him with what? Sound waves? You know what sound waves I’m hearing? Words. They’re saying “Gayest boss battle. Ever.”

Riverdale10 Website

So I haven’t made the suggestion yet - kind of wondering how they would take it as I don’t know exactly who designed the site - but the theater where I work needs a new website.

Or at least it needs to be a little more cut and dry.

(If you are planning on seeing “Are we done yet?” the sound has been f.u.b.a.r. for the last 2 days or so and we’re in the middle of fixing it.)

I saw “Disturbia” on Friday before work - excellent movie. I give it a 10 out of 10. The opening sequence is brutal - and the lead up to the finale is pretty amazing although I would like to point out that the ending wasn’t as great as it could have been.

So… 9/10. Yeah, that sounds a little more like it.

I’ll be seeing Next … damn. Already missed it. I’ll be doing something tonight, that’s for sure. Or maybe not. My legs kind of hurt. I’ve been standing since 12 - “Hi, how are you? That’s in Theater 10, right here. Hi, how are you? All the way to the back and to the left”…

I think I had one customer guest make me smile today.

As to the whole guest thing, I’m not really sure what that’s all about since technically they are customers because they’re paying - but we have to refer to them as guests. I mean, I don’t know about you, but I don’t make people pay to be guests in my house.

Maybe I should start. Wonder if there’s a business in that. Hmm…

Premium Content

I’m toying with the notion to create content that can be purchased to view with a free preview. I’m not really sure how I feel about that at this point.

On the one hand, I could really use the money.

On the other, part of me wonders if there really is an audience for this kind of thing.

And then on the last hand, I suppose there would be if the writing were good enough.

We’ll see ‘which way the wind blows’… who knows.

I do, however, know that any Premium Content would have to be about 100% better than the Regular Content.

This may or may not develop.
