poll: bad movies

A lazy Saturday yesterday. Craig came over for lunch; he and I worked on our Secret Project (details will be provided at some future date, I promise). The project is fun, and I confess that one of the main reasons I'm involved is because it's fun just hanging out with Craig (see photo above).

Had a highly satisfying nap in the afternoon. While I was sleeping, Jeff was out grocery shopping so he could cook dinner. Geez, I sound like such a lazy sod here, don't I? If I could say that I had been eating bon-bons as well while he was slaving away, it would have completed the picture.

Anyway, he made the best sandwiches I've had in a long time (the only ones that come close are Parki's roasted red pepper and goat cheese sarnies, and the Cobb sandwiches from my mom-in-law's restaurant): tomatoes, hot roast beef, long grain mustard, melted blue cheese, roasted portabello mushroom, lettuce, all inside a crusty roll. Yummmm. He washed the dishes after dinner, too.

In the evening, Jeff played Quake and Castle Wolfenstein. I watched (or tried to watch) Conquest of Planet of the Apes. I assume it has to come fairly late in the Planet of the Apes series since it takes place on Earth. I've only seen the first Ape movie...I think it's probably too late the see the rest. Seems to me that this series is kind you have to see as each movie comes out to take any of the movies seriously at all; they come across more like camp now.

Anyway, I was appalled by how horrible it was (even worse than the Planet of Apes remake that came out last year). Really really bad. So bad that it's definitely a candidate for Bad Movie Night entertainment. From time to time, my friends get together and have Bad Movie Night, where they rent a movie, make popcorn, and spend the evening ripping apart a flick...great. I'm highly disappointed to have missed the last one, which was when they watched Battlefield Earth. It's not a movie I'd bother renting by myself (even the trailer made me want to run screaming from the theatre), but I'm really curious.
