War of the Worlds

I finally went to see it today - after I forgot to yesterday. And OH MY FRELLING GOD! Anyone has to go watch this movie! Even though it has Tom Cruise in it It's an awesome movie! Lots of cool special effects... and I even forgot I needed to go to the bathroom really bad since even before the movie. It really caught me from the beginning to the end. Now, I have never heard or read the original, so I dunno how it compares to that, but it was definitely awesome. Minor problems though after the break!

( For anyone who doesn't wanna read spoilers )

Spoilers over :)

Anyways, Dakota Fanning was absolutely stunning in the movie. I already liked her in Sam I Am when she played Sean Penn's daughter. She's gonna be one fine actress once she grows up :) And if she stays in the business that is.....

The showed a couple of previews before the movie. One was for SciFi's BSG (why could they never advertise Farscape like that????). The one that really caught my breath though and that I absolutely go have to watch as well was Peter Jackson's King Kong. From the first 2 minutes of the movie I would have never ever thought I was watching the King Kong trailer. But I am sucker for any kind of horror stuff, and that just appealed to me :) So I gotta go watch King Kong when it comes out....

That's it for today. I am still kinda numb for that frelling awesome movie :)

Thunderstorms...

I am caught in the middle of one of the worst thunderstorms I have ever seen for the last 2 hours. This so reminds me of the beginning of War of the Worlds.... eerie feeling, I tell ya!

And btw, we're officially cut off from the world. Our road is knee deep flooded LOL.

Let's talk about inconsiderate neighbors...

7:15AM this morning I am falling out of bed. I thought our house was under attack or something. I hear hammers being swung, chainsaws turned on and loud yelling and arguing. Our downstairs neighbors decided to remodel the apartmet. At 7:15AM on a SATURDAY morning! Mind me, I had just gotten like 3 hours sleep, and was wide awake at that point. If they could have at least let us know, but nooooooo. I wander into the kitchen and run into my roommates who are as irritated as I am. We call our landlord, let him hear the commotion over the phone, and he's there 30 minutes later... no remember, we're well before 8AM on a SATURDAY morning! Our downstairs neighbors decided to break in a wall and make one big room out of two smaller ones - WITHOUT telling our landlord! Oh bugger, that started some arguing... we had the police at the house - again. Our landlord had the people arrested for vandalizing the apartment LOL By 9:30AM all was done - and I was wide awake and not ready to go back to bed, grrrrr. But I tell you, these neighbors *sigh*
