naomi_jayI stayed over at Pip's last night for a film-and-junk-food fest. We watched Cloverfield, a film I will never get tired of because there aren't enough monster films being made anymore. We followed it up with Apocalypto, which is the most unremittingly violent film I've ever seen and I summarised it thusly for ![[community profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/community.png)

Jaguar Paw and his friends live in the jungle and have lots of manly hunter fun and love their wives and everyone is happy because Being One with Nature is Good. And then the bad guys came! So Jaguar Paw put his wife and kid in a pit and everyone gets beaten around and raped and killed and taken off to be sacrifices. And there's a psychotic bad guy with an irrational hatred for Jaguar Paw. And then they get to the city which is Evil because it has markets and temples and other Trappings of Civilisation. And some people get horribly sacrificed to appease the gods, and then there's an eclipse so Jaguar Paw runs off into a field of corn, killing someone's kid on the way. The bad guys freak out and chase him into the forest and he jumps off a waterfall and makes a Braveheart style speech about this being his damn forest. And he throws bees and them and shit and then the Spanish arrive.
Then we watched Top Gun because we needed a lot of camp to get over all that manly blood. We flicked back and forth between that and Reign of Fire though, because even with a dodgy bread and ill-advised haircut, Christian Bale is still unmissable.
Ooh, and when![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
