"Allegedly."

As I mentioned previously, the motivating factor in watching Feast was that I was a big fan of Project Greenlight. I knew it would be pretty crappy, since I watched it being made, and some of the funnier moments were familiar to me. Overall we both thought it was fun and well done for what it was. When a movie does the unexpected right away, like [spoiler] killing off McSteamy after he's been on screen for two minutes, and immediately ripping off Jason Mewes's face [/spoiler], it's got my attention and I am willing to give it a chance. Brandon was quite pleased to see Jenny Wade, his favorite demon from Reaper (especially in her bra) while I indulged my latent Balthazar Getty fetish (don't judge - I will always have lingering affection from when I was 16 and had pics of him plastered on my notebook). The effects were cartoonish but I did get a bit squeamish at times. I mean, [spoiler] did that creature really jizz in Harley Mom's mouth??? [/spoiler] Just sayin. Henry Rollins was delightful as a motivational speaker, but Navi Rawat was just plain bad. I fuzzily recall that the director was not cool with her being cast, and I can completely understand why. We used to watch Numbers and always thought she was cute and sweet, but she was so wooden and annoying here.

Ok, fine, it was a rough night, but we did it! Seven movies down. We will slide Jesus Camp into this week's agenda. The tentative list for week two is as follows:

  • Revolver
  • Synecdoche, New York
  • Guide to Recognizing Your Saints
  • Smokin' Aces 2
  • Son of Rambow
  • Zodiac
  • Jesus Camp

We're doing well, but I am already kind of bummed about being behind on tv. The Nurse Jackie and Tara finales are sitting on the dvr taunting me right now (we ALWAYS watch those shows the night of) so I hope we're able to watch them tonight in addition to our movie.
