(reappropriated from the Idiocracy thread. I think the thread is funnier than the movie.)

hey kels! Is it as pretty in MN as it is here?

― kenan, Friday, 9 March 2007 20:28 (seventeen years ago) link

it is! it's 45 out, according to the internets. I walked outside without a coat on. I feel more alive!

― sweet tater, Friday, 9 March 2007 20:31 (seventeen years ago) link

I'm thinking about going to see The Host tonight.

Hi, Kelsey! How is training?

― KitCat, Friday, 9 March 2007 20:31 (seventeen years ago) link

I am totally going for a run outside instead of at the gym, thanks to this thread!

I can't find that on IMDB, John. Is it older?

― KitCat, Friday, 9 March 2007 20:32 (seventeen years ago) link

Funny you should ask, Sarah . . . it hasn't been happening much these days. I got the flu a couple of weeks ago, was out of work for a week & am only now feeling kinda normal. I've mostly struggled with waking up early this week. That's next week's goal.

― sweet tater, Friday, 9 March 2007 20:32 (seventeen years ago) link

I also want to take advantage of getting off work at 5 and going somewhere and having a beer or something. 5!!!

― jaymc, Friday, 9 March 2007 20:32 (seventeen years ago) link

oh my god! you're right! i could run outside!! maybe i will do that tonight . . . just a quick little jog for 20 minutes or something. i signed up for a 5K in april & i need to train eventually.

― sweet tater, Friday, 9 March 2007 20:33 (seventeen years ago) link

is the host the one in the nytimes today? whatever that one was, it sounded good. 300, on the other hand, sounds dreadful.

― sweet tater, Friday, 9 March 2007 20:34 (seventeen years ago) link

I can't find that on IMDB, John. Is it older?

No, it's a new Korean monster movie.

― jaymc, Friday, 9 March 2007 20:34 (seventeen years ago) link

What's the deal with 300? It's based on a comic book or something? I've only seen the posters on bus stops, but I get the impression that a lot of people are anticipating it.

― jaymc, Friday, 9 March 2007 20:36 (seventeen years ago) link

It's based on a Frank Miller comic which I think makes it more 'buzzy' than any ol' comic.

― sweet tater, Friday, 9 March 2007 20:37 (seventeen years ago) link

Whenever I see an ad for it, I think of

Yeah, the TV ads for The Host are pitching it as another bloody American horror movie, and downplaying it's Korean-ness, and picking quotes that make it sounds all serious-scary, when in fact there are many more quotes talking about how funny and absurd and genre-bending and clever it is.

― kenan, Friday, 9 March 2007 20:41 (seventeen years ago) link

"300" will finally turn all you metrosexual men to Kinsey M4Ms, apparently. or to fascists ready to conquer Iran.

― Dr Morbius, Friday, 9 March 2007 20:41 (seventeen years ago) link

Are any of us "metrosexual"?

― dan m, Friday, 9 March 2007 20:42 (seventeen years ago) link

"300" will remain unseen by this particular faggo.

― kenan, Friday, 9 March 2007 20:42 (seventeen years ago) link

jayms, I think 300 was another Frank Miller comic, and has been given the same frame-for-frame treatment as Sin City?

― elmo argonaut, Friday, 9 March 2007 20:43 (seventeen years ago) link

Are any of us "metrosexual"?

Depends. Do you moisturize?

― kenan, Friday, 9 March 2007 20:43 (seventeen years ago) link

I haven't seen any TV ads for The Host. I think I saw the trailer for it before Children of Men and then read a rave review from Anthony Lane in The New Yorker.

― jaymc, Friday, 9 March 2007 20:44 (seventeen years ago) link

Yes, but otherwise my elbows crack so bad they bleed in the wintertime. And in that case, we're all the same... on the inside.

― dan m, Friday, 9 March 2007 20:45 (seventeen years ago) link

The Host looks good. Maybe I'll go later this weekend.

― n/a, Friday, 9 March 2007 20:45 (seventeen years ago) link

i have a feeling that the next 98 minutes are going to c-r-a-w-l.

― chicago kevin, Friday, 9 March 2007 20:53 (seventeen years ago) link

We could see it tonight, Nick.

This movie is currently playing at: Century 12 and CineArts 6 | Crown Village 18 | Landmark's Century Centre | River East 21

― KitCat, Friday, 9 March 2007 20:53 (seventeen years ago) link

i got 127, buddy. I don't wanna hear it.

― kenan, Friday, 9 March 2007 20:53 (seventeen years ago) link

i've already been here for 6 hours 56 minutes is the thing though.

― chicago kevin, Friday, 9 March 2007 20:54 (seventeen years ago) link

Or we could go see Pan's L at the Davis:

Pan's Labyrinth
Daily 5:20, 7:40, 10:00; Sa-Su also 12:40, 3:00

― KitCat, Friday, 9 March 2007 20:54 (seventeen years ago) link

someone remarked to me last week how no one would ever use the word metrosexual seriously, and i agreed with her but i guess i stand corrected

― Mr. Que, Friday, 9 March 2007 20:55 (seventeen years ago) link

i might argue that kenan embraces elements of metrosexuality.

― sweet tater, Friday, 9 March 2007 20:58 (seventeen years ago) link

i prefer "urbansexual". i don't like to go to the outlying metropolitan areas.

― chicago kevin, Friday, 9 March 2007 20:59 (seventeen years ago) link

ha!

― sweet tater, Friday, 9 March 2007 21:03 (seventeen years ago) link

Yeah I have no time for those suburbsexuals.

― dan m, Friday, 9 March 2007 21:04 (seventeen years ago) link

ruralsexuals pretty themselves up for the livestock?

― chicago kevin, Friday, 9 March 2007 21:05 (seventeen years ago) link

"Suburbsexual" reminds me of a Todd Solondz movie.

― kenan, Friday, 9 March 2007 21:07 (seventeen years ago) link

The "sexurbs".

― Laurel, Friday, 9 March 2007 21:08 (seventeen years ago) link

The "sexurbs". next on cinemax after dark...

― chicago kevin, Friday, 9 March 2007 21:09 (seventeen years ago) link

The only resemblance there is in the torso.

― kenan, Friday, 9 March 2007 21:18 (seventeen years ago) link

OMG "Dave" Beckham!

"Dave 'Haircut' Beckham"

― dan m, Friday, 9 March 2007 21:32 (seventeen years ago) link

I am going to see 300 tonight w/Ev4n. I'm actually not super-excited (never read the comic) but he's been counting the days. From the trailers it looks like a MANPILE.

I'm interested in The Host.

― Jordan, Friday, 9 March 2007 21:41 (seventeen years ago) link

I liked Sin City as a kind of self-parody (which I'm not sure he meant it as), but Frank Miller is about as arrested-adolescent as they come.

― kenan, Friday, 9 March 2007 21:43 (seventeen years ago) link

I beieve he is Men. He is the embodiment of what people mean when they disdainfully say, "Men." Jessa has a fun story about his old, gross ass trying to get her back to his hotel room.

― kenan, Friday, 9 March 2007 21:45 (seventeen years ago) link

For violent sodomy, one assumes.

hott.

― kenan, Friday, 9 March 2007 21:46 (seventeen years ago) link

He looks like an aging futbol hooligan.

― dan m, Friday, 9 March 2007 21:47 (seventeen years ago) link

I think that's essentially the idea.

― kenan, Friday, 9 March 2007 21:47 (seventeen years ago) link

all words on ILX are used "seriously"
