I went to a screening of Underworld with [livejournal.com profile] girlwithjournal tonight. Frankly, it sucked, but I got a much better end of the deal than Girl did, 'cause I got to stare at Kate Beckinsale throughout the entire film. I've had a crush on her since 1993, when I saw Much Ado About Nothing — and that was a full five years before I began to realize that I was gay. I won't exactly say I've been a loyal fan, 'cause I didn't see anything starring her after that (which I attribute to her poor choice of films), but that was her first movie, so I feel that I deserve some credit for having had such an enduring crush. Besides, in my lj sitcom, she plays [livejournal.com profile] sampiano, so I feel extra special. ;) I wonder if I'm somehow magically drawn to films in which she faints. And in case anyone's curious, she pretty much embodies my "type," insofar as I have one. (Which, thinking back, I guess I must.)

[livejournal.com profile] psychopepsquad and a few of her friends were also there; they provided a very good peanut gallery. Or is it a popcorn gallery, since it was at a film? Anyway.

You got to see Underworld already ? Envy. Envy envy envy. But was it any good by any other metric ?

it depends--how much do you like being able to actively mock movies?
