Ring the fucking bell you pansy.

Old School really is the funniest movie I've seen in a long time. I watched it again last night and was happy to see that it held up well on the second viewing. I suspect this one will be sure laughs whenever I feel like watching it.

On my first viewing I was most struck by Vince Vaughn. But this time around I realized that I really liked Will Farrell in this movie. This was notable for me because I usually don't really like his comedy. I really like both Zoolander and the Austin Powers movies but I find that Will Farrells bits tend to drag for me in both of those movies. I think it's just his comedic style that doesn't jive with me, but this time it worked.

I also watched The Terminator over the weekend. After seeing T3 and thinking about the original two I realized I hadn't seen the first one in a long, long time. I'd forgotten that the original is much more of a horror movie, while the sequels are very much pure action/chase movies. Also, the first one delves into the paradoxes of time travel much more, and in the end the only logical conclusion I can make of it is the path of time is set, and there's nothing we can do about it. That whole "There's no fate but what we make" crap they spout in T2 doesn't hold up at all with the first film. Which is precisely why the ending of the third one makes lots of sense to me (that shouldn't be too much of a spoiler...)

Still want more?
