kybearfuzzFriday couldn't have gotten here fast enough in my opinion. I will be sleeping so sound tomorrow, just taking my sweet time getting out of bed. As what has become something of a habit, I went to the movies today, deciding to see Final Destination 3.
The roller coaster to oblivion in Final Destination 3
The movie was okay, if you have fairly low expectations. I knew it was going to be the basic gory, horror flick. The story of a girl who has a vision of the death of herself and her classmates on a roller coaster accident causes her to get off the ride with some of her friends before the catastrophe. However, in cheating death the first time, death comes back for each of them in bizarre ways.
The plot is not original (it's the third in the series), but I did enjoy watching the original Rube Goldbergian methods of cause-and-effect, resulting in death for each of these annoying teenagers. Most of the characters in the movie are so shallow that you don't feel bad about their eventual demise. With the movie's R-rating, there is a lot of blood and guts, some of which are actually done with great special effects, and some female nudity (yes, there are two semi-nude tanning bed incidents with giggling boobies).
I have another reason for watching the movie. The original was written by a Berea College alumnus Jeffrey Reddick. I went to school with Jeff during my years at Berea. While we weren't really friends (more like we had common friends), I do remember talking to him during my days working at the Circulation Desk of the college library and he was a nice guy. He's also family. He's working on some other horror flicks I'm looking forward to seeing.
After the movie, I went and purchased a 19" LCD flatscreen monitor for my desktop computer. My old one was dying slowly and I received my federal tax return today. It seemed like a good time to get the new one. I am loving the extra desk space I have now and the bigger screen for the dirty pictures. :)
