Shawn VS Oblivion

So I finally got to sit down with Anthony Michael Bosa and watch a movie.  It's been too long. The movie: Oblivion. The reason: We are sci-fi freaks. Haha. This movie is set in the future after a massive war with invading aliens. (We didn't get to see) Humanity "won" the war, but we were forced to use our conventional super weapons(nukes), shitting up the planet too much for humans to prosper on it. So, apparently, the human race bolted to Titan. We left behind massive ocean eating machines that turned water into energy for the colony on Titan. Or something... Bla bla bla...and there was a lot of that. I won't go further into the story, as that's not my thang. I will say this: The movie was WAAAAY too fucking long.(2h 05) OMG.  Bosa and I both agree that it could have easily been cut in half.  Especially since they tried to tie in love stories and such. It was far too serious a flick to be just a sci-fi gig. Don't get me wrong, it was beautiful...

War of the Worlds: Countdown to Extinction 5

5 As we get down to the nitty gritty, the last 5 days of doom, we're gonna get serious. How serious? Scientology . . . er Tom Cruise serious! War of the Worlds. Aliens come, kick our asses, leaving little hope for our survival. Stephen Hawking, from his chair of prophecy, thinks an outcome such as this is possible. Why not the Mayan's? That is WHY their calendar ended, right?  Doooooom. Too bad for the aliens that our boogers are toxic to them.  Anyways, really dug this 2005 version, the remake of the movie (1954) based on Orson Wells' panic-inducing radio broadcast, in 1938.  I think, I would have enjoyed the radio broadcast, more than I enjoyed either movie. Not knowing it was a hoax, would have tested my psyche, would have let me know whether I was a true shorts shitter or brave!   I watched both the 2005 and 1954 version, more than once, giving both a Good in their own right. I'm POSITIVE that the Mayan's are straight up "shorts...
