Speaking of movies... Have you seen the previews or commercials for this new movie...shit I don't know what its actually called. You know it though, "the call is comming from inside the house", that one. Anyway its based on an old campfire story right? What does it take, 5 minutes...10 tops to tell that story. How do you make that into a feature length movie? I know there have been movies made that probably had worse plots then whatever they're doing to this movie to stretch it out. The Tuxedo, I'm looking in your direction. Remember Urban Legend? They needed like 6 of these stories to make one movie, now granted they had enough leftover to make a sequel*. I never actually saw the second Urban Legend movie (but I should because Jennifer Morrison and Eva Mendes are in it) so I'm just assuming that they probably trotted out a few more stories to get them through the movie (or maybe they just reused the ones from the first movie). The moral of the story is that this movie looks like crap. Although I'm guessing you didn't need my analysis to tell you that one. *It took me about 5 minutes to think of the word 'sequel' I kept wanting to say 'remix'.

I was debating throwing a picture of one of them in the post too, but then I guess nothing I wrote would get read.
