We're here to throw down.

So, Aqua Teen Hunger Force Colon Movie Film for Theaters. Saw that.

It was made of freaking awesome. Go see it, right now. I would ramble about it, but I don't want to spoil anything.

I did see a preview for this crap before the movie. What the FUCK ARE YOU SMOKING? Way to rip off and butcher Battle Royale BLATANTLY and turn it into some stupid-ass testosterone-pumped mindless action film without any of the charm, originality, or political commentary of the original. They're all "on death row"? FUCK YOU, the original Battle Royale was partially so fascinating because it was about how average junior high students react in that situation, not some WWF star posing as a hardened murderer.

I'd heard rumor that an American studio was planning on "re-making" Battle Royale for "American consumption", but I was expecting some stupid high-schoolers on an island movie, not something even THIS bad. There would at least be the concept of innocents being forced to murder still intact, if nothing else was.

Somebody from Arizona Public Radio interviewed me and Philippi regarding whether or not we felt "safe" on campus in the aftermath of the Virginia Tech massacre. It kind of went like this.

Guy: Give your name and what you do.
Me; I'm Lauren Cook, I'm a biochemistry major, and I am a research--I work in student research.
Guy: Do you feel safe at ASU?
Me: Well, theoretically, just because it's a college... statistically, just because it happened at another university doesn't make it any less safe than any other place... yes. Yes, I feel safe.
Guy: Do you think ASU makes it evident what the disaster plan in a situation like Virginia is?
Me: Uh...
Guy: Like, at orientation or anything like that?
Me: I skipped all the orientation meetings.

Yeah, I love sounding so freaking intelligent on public radio. Erghghghgh.
