Three Too Many

.

Why couldn't one of these movies have come out this past Friday? Nothing I wanted to see came out this past Friday so I didn't go to the movies at all. At all! But now suddenly this week there are three movies that I am DYING to see all hitting at once? How dare they not think of ME!

Zombieland - The trailer's fun and word is pretty dang good on the movie. I'll be seeing it for the ladies - I will love Emma Stone forever because of her delightfully dorky performance in The House Bunny, and AbbyBrez, yo! In da house! - and for the zombies, duh. I do not like Jesse Eisenberg and can take or leave Woody Harrelson (although I did see Indecent Proposal and The Cowboy Way more than one time each in the theater on the basis of his skivvies-action alone, so there's that).

Mmm vintage Woody.

A Serious Man - Swung from zero to one-fifty in the space of less than two minutes. That trailer is magic.

Whip It! - Likewise my enthusiasm for this one grew because of the nifty trailer, but I was never not gonna be excited as excited gets on this one. I mean, these are my ladies - Ellen Page! Kristen Wiig! Zoe Bell! Ari "Balls deep" Graynor! And yes, I even often like Drew Barrymore, despite my black and hateful heart that tells me I ought not to. She did produce Donnie Darko and teach me about "Cellar Door" after all.

The horrible thing is I'm not gonna be able to see ANY of these until I HAVE NO IDEA WHEN. I'm out of town this weekend and won't really have time, and next week I'm seeing Sufjan in concert twice (don't give me that side-eye), and then there's the New York Film Festival and my two screenings there - The White Ribbon and Life During Wartime, yay!, and I've also got a wedding to go to! Madness! MADNESS!!!

Ahem. What about y'all?
Excited for these movies?
