No nightmares, yay!

Watched The Grudge and Dawn of the Dead (the new one) last night. Gotta say, I thought they were both really good. Say what you will about the destructive power of Hollywood, but just because it redoes something, doesn't make it automatically inferior - at least, that's what I think. The Grudge is really well written, lots of cool flashbacks to tell the story, and it's more of an ensemble thing. Dawn of the Dead is a great 'What would I do?' film.

I must complain though - why is it that in Hollywood movies, it doesn't matter how many people die, but the pets (dogs, cats, hamsters etc.) have to make it out alive? Humans, fine, kill 'em all. Animals, no, we wouldn't want to upset the RSPCA. Even worse, why is it that it's always the criminals/gay/sexual people who must die? Just because you stole a chocolate bar when you were 12 or you like it a bit rough in the sack, you're allowed to survive. Just once, I'd like to see the innocent virgin get slaughtered in the first ten minutes. Wouldn't that rock?

Anyway, my Creative Writing lecture was good, last one with my favourite professor though. Missed the next one because there was confusion over the room, which was annoying. Gotta go now, or I'll be late for my seminar. I have to do this chant that I've written with some other people. It's supposed to be like a war cry, but ours has turned out more like the 'Hubble, bubble, toil and trouble' monologue from the witches in Macbeth. We'll just try and have a laugh with it.
