Justin called me today. He asked if Lindsey and I would like to see Underworld: Evolution. I never saw Underworld, but Lindsey did and said that it was OK. I liked 'Evolution' (6/10). When younger, I would dismiss movies like this as useless and unworthy of attention. But, I've come to realize that everything is valid in some way. Even if completely stupid and seemingly worthless, such as Kevin Federline, St. Valentine's Day, and astrology, things still have value as social evidence or device, even if they'll eventually remain to posterity only as unwanted oddities—leftovers of societal evolution. A bit harsh. Every movie has a story that was deemed worthy by someone, even if written only to count box office numbers. They still affect all viewers through emotional, cognitive, and sensory experience. So, even though I'd like to erase lots of things, I can't, so I have to add them into this crazy equation of which we're all variables. I guess it depends on the constants with which you set yourself. I'm such a weirdo.

I need to stop analyzing my thoughts for you with these entries and just tell that I thought the movie wasn't bad. ...If you need some good old-fashioned sex and violence.
