I have long wanted to do this ET and since today is a holiday Monday [yes, a week ahead of Memorial Day which unfortunately we Canucks do not get off] it was the perfect opportunity. Also, a special assist from the Space network [the Sci-Fi network in the USA] really made this happen. Today I held a movie marathon. The movies of choice? The Mummy not-so-triology [because the official third film is coming out this summer, however it looks like unwatchable ass so I won't be seeing it] of: The Mummy, The Mummy Returns and The Scorpion King. Yes, starring The Rock. We started watching it around 2pm and after the second film took a break to watch Rome and eat dinner then watched the third film before bed. Oh yum, a whole day off to spend watching crummy popcorn flicks.
The truth is, I do enjoy these films. I know, I know - I'm supposed to not like them as they are well...kinda mostly entirely rubbish. But, Brenden Fraser is entirely endearing in the first two and there is something inherently likeable about The Rock. His name is Duane. Rachel Weisz and the faux-Egyptian chick are all kinds of hot and kick all kinds of ass [including that epic chick fight]. And lots of fun Egyptian stuff that is kinda mostly entirely inaccurate [and yes, I speak from my vast knowledge of like three Near and Middle Eastern Civilization courses]. So I can overlook the annoying precocious child and the crummy CG on the Scorpion King [yes, right on him] and the hacky dialogue...for the sake of fun-ness.
