Rebel Scum

          This evening, Emily, Jules, Alaric and I burned through a considerable quantity of schwag and, joined by Sean at times, committed to having an entertaining evening. Lights low, we took Sean's recommendation and watched Dredd, an ultraviolent and blissfully politically deaf future-shooter. Judge Dredd is a cop of this dystopian, hyper-authoritarian state with a license to do basically whatever he wants while enforcing the law, and the entire movie is him, his mildly cute rookie partner, and the actress who plays Cersei Lannister just blasting the shit out of everyone and everything. The dialogue is choice at times: "Juve cube or body bag, your choice!" A drug that slows time and makes everything shimmer features prominently and in gory fashion in some inventive slo-mo sequences. Keep an eye out for the redshirt henchman with the horrendous long wig. Absolutely recommended if you're into something that won't preach.
          Next: the rite of passage. Reefer Madness. It's from the 1930s and it has aged like wine, albeit by becoming even more alienating and confusingly funny. Synopsis: Reefer will make you run people down in your car without a second thought. Marihuana will make you kill. It can even kill you! Also, after a few months of smoking weed you will look and act exactly like a tweaked-out crack addict, complete with demented expression, tremors and crazy hair. The movie packs a lot of headscratchers -- the "faster! faster! piano scene and the aforementioned hit-and-run are highlights. It also provided some novel ideas about where to hide small objects on your person, and those are noted. This is a lively ride, and absurd as well. Recommended if you don't think weed is deadly.
          Next up was Adventure Time, and then a very strange episode of The Flash featuring Dr. Snow acting very out of the ordinary. Bad karaoke + "Did you sneak a peek at my goods?" = fun character development. Speaking of snow: it is out of hand. If traversing the Fens becomes much worse, I may require a dogsled.
