Ayyyy. Sorry about the lack of a new article this past weekend -- I was outta town. The plus side is, I'll be writing about where I went this weekend, so you get a trip report. You love trip reports. Anyway, it was a much needed two day binge of drinking, bad movies and complete removal from society, and if you've never endeavored in such ways, I strongly recommend it. Seriously, sometimes people need nothing more than to completely atrophy save for the few minutes spent lifting piles of junk food and alcohol to their mouths. I feel whole again.

Finally caught Saw, and I'm gonna have to almost maybe sorta give it a thumbs up. Admittedly, I wasn't really paying any attention for the first twenty minutes -- dunno how much I missed, but suffice to say, I DID NOT see that coming. If you've seen the flick, you know what I'm talking about. Gotta give credit where it's due: Nobody walks into a movie like Saw these days not expecting the textbook twist, and yet, they still managed to completely surprise me. Also, Glover's inclusion wasn't anywhere near as random as I'd read. Sure, it's not a huge role, but he served some strange Danny Gloverish purpose. Besides, throwing a genuine name in there and not making him the big part helps throw everyone's guesses off. I don't want to say much more in fear of spoiling, but if you can avoid your inner critic for a while, the flick definitely works.
