on movies and capatialism

first order of business:
Do not go see The Time Machine.
We didn't have a crummy time last night, we actually had a GREAT time - Matt brought along a Frankie Vallens CD so we could appropriately enjoy the Sonic Drive-In later, but man, that movie was terrible. Around the time that I leaned over and told Matt that the part they were showing was NOT in the book, the movie took a turn for the crack-induced. When it was over, one of the small band said "I was waiting for it to begin.. and then it was over.. Plot???"
hahahaha... but seriously, save your five-fifty, m'kay?
(*&*&^%#^%#^%$&^*&^()*&(%**(%$*&%$^%
When I die I think I am going to look at this morning and wonder why I wasted 7 precious minutes on this earth staring at the toothbrushes at the local grocery store.
It reminded me of my friend Dascha, who was raised in the Ukraine and Russia (Lilia, you remember her!!!) and now live in the States. She was explaining to me why communism wasn't so bad. She said:
"In America, you go to the store and there at at least 30 brands of toothpaste. You have to decide which on you like better, wasing your time and the toothpaste makers are wasting money on making their product catch your eye so you will buy it - and that makes the toothpaste even more expensive. In Russia, we have one toohpaste and we don't have to waste time or money on cathing some person's eye. You buy the toothpaste, and leave."
That has always made sense to me, even though I like my capatalistic society.
And as I stood there, looking at cross action, curved bristles, handles and heads, wasting my precious moring with all the things I needed to get done... and it occured to me...
I just bought a cheap toothbrush two weeks ago in San Antonio.
So I bought some doughnuts and left. God Bless scatter-brained capatalists, I always say.
SUPERCRACK just wants to make sure you get this... DO NOT SEE THE TIME MACHINE!! BADBADBAD!!!!!!!!
