Happy Cinco de Mayo!

Yesterday was a lazy day. It turned into a lazy afternoon and evening, too. Last night, SaraRules and I watched Gone in 60 Seconds. The original one. From 1974. Some of the things I came away with were:

  • The movie was definitely the love child of H.B. Halicki – he wrote, directed, financed, produced and starred in and did most of his own stunts for the film.
  • The acting was not great.
  • …neither was the fashion. (1974.  ‘Nuff said.)
  • …neither were the hairstyles. (Again, 1974. Do the math.)
  • The plot had holes large enough to drive a fleet of semis in.
  • Many/most of the pedestrians – who almost got run over – had no idea that they were in a movie.
  • There was a 40-minute car chase at the end of the film… with lots of crashes.

It wasn’t a “bad” movie, per se. But, having seen it once, I don’t necessarily need to see it again.

I also started in on the stuff that Dave saved for me from Free Comic Book Day. Granted, I only read two things: Green Lantern: Blackest Night #0 and Love and Capes #10… but they were both good.

And, back to it…

Namaste.
