News is slowly geting better. BZ's dad finally agreed to walk her down the isle in costume, which is good. Still trying to figure out how exactly we are going to pay for this whole rig-a-ma-roll. Refinancing the house for what must be the 5th time. I really don't like to be in this much debt, but there isn't much I can do about it.

Saw another "Hell's Kitchen" and the theory holds. Its not even 5 minutes into the show and one of the girls says "I'm not going to get kicked off I'm going to win." Low and behild she is the one kicked off, even with 2 'suprising' change ups. They already played a clip from next week with another of the girls saying she was going to win, so it looks like she will be off next week. Ugh.

Also saw "V for Vendetta" last night. I would have retitled it V for Very very bad. The film was slow, very slow. The world didn't make a heck of a lot of sence and was a bad rip off of whats been going on here for the last few years. There is a 'terrorist' attack on london and some religious right nut job uses it to his advantage to gain power. Then he forced his 'moral' values on the whole country, outlawing atheists, gays, muslims, ect. Wow really deep thoughts went into this POS. The whole thing was lined with polotical crap, which could have been hidden a lot better in the underlying themes. So yeah, the Warkowski brothers have done it again and made another shitte film. They seem to be in a race with M. Knight Shamalon to see who can trash their career the fastest and still be able to make big budget films. He still has a big head start.

Some other things in the film which just didn't make sence.
How do V's knives seem to cut through almost anything? They slice through metal batons and signs like butter.
If this film is ~25 years in the future, why do the weapons suck so bad? They still have at best handguns made in 2000. Some military guys have what looks like better guns but they never shoot them.
Why is the "president/czar/whatever" always talking to his cabinet by way of a big TV screen? Is he such a paranoid coward he can't meet with them in person?
Why do things that explode always have fireworks mixed in with the other explosives? The last big explosion is underground yet wooo, fire works up in the sky.

Over all: long, dull, pointless (besides the obvious 'a country based on religion is wrong'), dull acting, dull world. Seriously, I'd rather have seen a reality show of monkies at the zoo. It would have had a more invoulving plot.

And make sure to not this review is comming from someone who agrees with the "underlining" themes in the film, but I'm not going to give a peice of crap like this a good review just because I agree with it.
