The Hiatus Has Only Just Begun...
Ok, so I haven't posted in ages. But, to be fair, you haven't read this in.... well, ever. Why haven't I updated? Just didn't get around to it. I've been catching up on a lot of older movie watching, which is way more enjoyable than writing about the depressing state the film industry is in at the moment. Anyone seen Aeon Flux yet? Is it any good? (Both rhetorical questions).
So, what else have I been up to? I've been roaming around IMDb, my sanctuary, and seeings as though it's the end of the year, I thought I might check the semi-reliable Yearly Listings for 2006. I originally thought 2006 was going to be a slow year, and I'm not totally convinced otherwise. However, I constructed a list of films I'd be interested to check out (in trailer form at least), and I came out with an impressive 66 different movies.
Sure, admittedly, a whole bunch of them I'd only want to see for their campy badness, and 3 of the 66 movies are by Uwe Boll, but some of them dont look half bad.
Here are some highlights of the list:
Bloodrayne - Bahahahaha. Yeah, looks tops.
Evan Almighty - There's no chance this is gonna be good. But what if there was? *tense*
Far Cry - Like a train-wreck, you just cant look away from Uwe Boll's mass array of... well, train-wrecks.
Flags of Our Fathers - Clint, don't let me down, ya bastard.
Flushed Away - Whoever came up with the idea to use Bill Nighy's voice in an Aardman movie... Genius.
Grindhouse - QT and RR. Should be dripping with style.
In The Name Of The King: A Dungeon Siege Tale - Boll-y Boll-y Boll-y Boll-y!
Inglorious Bastards - Hah! 2006? Yeah right, Quentin. Wasn’t this supposed to come out in like, 1997 or something? 9 years ago. Why not make it 10?
Lord of War - Taking its sweet ass time getting here.
March of the Penguins - I just wanna watch the penguins, ok? Anyone got a problem with that?
Nacho Libre - Jack Black entertains me. Lets hope this isn’t a piece of shit.
Oldboy - I’ve been dying to see the original. Remake has a chance of being awesome.
Rambo 4 - “What you call hell, he calls home”. I’m awaiting, John. J.
Saw 3 - Oh man, I’m so grateful for this franchise. So quick and cheap to make. A dozen more please.
Scary Movie 4 - It’ll help pass the time, I suppose.
Silent Hill - High hopes for this one will inevitably be shot from the sky. But I can dream cant I?
Terminator 4 - *groan* Do I have to speak the words?
The Aristocrats – Yep, it’ll be out here real soon, and I’ll be there waiting.
The Children of Men – Ridley Scott’s doing his bit for this. Which means I gotta see.
The Da Vinci Code – Just read the book. But I’m not liking the trailer.
The Departed – Now, I like Scorcese, but what’s his deal with Leo DiCaprio? He’s not THAT good, Marty.
The Evil Dead – And the magic 8-ball says: Don’t count on it.
The Hills Have Eyes – Hillbillies? MPAA deeming it too violent? I’m there.
Underworld 2: Evolution – Bill Nighy makes an appearance. Not be missed. On DVD at least. Actually scrap that, on cable.
Walk The Line – Just want to see Phoenix and Witherspoon’s performances. Heard the film kinda sucked.
When Worlds Collide – Yay! Big budget, B-Grade fun. Something we’ve been lacking! (not being sarcastic).
Young Hannibal: Behind The Mask – Bad, bad title. Weird casting. Ruined franchise??? *shrugs quizzically*
A History of Violence
Munich

Here are some highlights of the list:
2006
Across The Universe - I find this one interesting. A musical based solely on 'Beatles' music. Must have cost a fortune for the licenses.
All The Kings Men - It's got Sean Penn and James Gandolfini in it. I'm sold.Bloodrayne - Bahahahaha. Yeah, looks tops.
Evan Almighty - There's no chance this is gonna be good. But what if there was? *tense*

The Top Picks
A Good Year
A Ridley Scott film. Starring Russel Crowe. Won't be terrible.
A History of Violence
Australia has yet to get screen this awesome looking film, looks to be a gem.
Brokeback Mountain
Call me queer, but I'm really looking forward to this one. Ang Lee is godly. I like the accepting pro-homo image I have going on, and me liking this will just strengthen it.
Casino Royale
Might get a 2006 release. Might not. I'm just praying the crew can pull it off.
Jurassic Park 4
Please don’t fuck it up, please don’t fuck it up, please don’t fuck it up...
Lady In The Water
Hell Yeah! Quite possibly my most anticipated film at present. Shyamalan Power!
Munich
SPIELBERG! THE TIME IS AT HAND FOR MORE SPIELBERG-MANIA!!!! WOO WOO!
Poseidon
Every time I watch the trailer, it looks better and better. So, could it be ok? No? oh…
Sin City 2
I’m psyched for this. I really am.
I'll try to post more rants later.

Common Breast Cancer Myths
The first myth pertaining to this disease is that it only affects women.
Second myth that is associated with this disease is that if one has found a lump during an examination, it is cancer.
Third is that it is solely hereditary
The next myth associated with breast cancer is downright ridiculous. Would you believe, that in this day and age, some individuals still think that breast cancer is contagious?
Conversely, some individuals foolishly believe that breast size determines whether or not one gets cancer.
Finally, another myth that is associated with this disease is that it only affects older people. This is not so. Although the chance of getting breast cancer increases with age, women as young as 18 have been diagnosed with the disease.
