This evening, I came home to find a HUGE cockroach moving its tentacles at me from the kitchen's wall..

I don't know about you, but with everyone I know, when encountering a cockroach - their response is "Fight or Flight". Girls are assumed to run screaming, Boys are assumed to grab an aid, or their (preferably covered) foot, and squash the big bug's life out.

The good boy that I am, I followed suit. However, you know how it's said? that they are more scared of us than we are of them? Naturally, it's true, even with the evolutional equation which puts them as the last survivors of great catastrophes, they know that for each of them, they stand no chance against a digusted/scared human, aiming a sandal, shoe, or a broom at their fast moving bodies..

Brrr.. for a minute there I felt sorry for them! But to me, insects are invaders (regardless if unknowingly) to the privacy of my home, not to mention the privacy of my food (just let those ants a chance and they'll throw an acid party in my sugar jar!). I don't feel sorry for them, since it's an occupational hazzard that they and their ancestors take. We humans try to extinguish them, and they try to outsmart us.

And in a sharp screeching change of subject,

I like this kind of movies, and I don't feel a need to appologize for it, like some might. In the past I also wrote about the first F4 movie, which I liked as well, and not just because of Jessica Alba :P (which by the way, doesn't look so good in this sequel)

The flow of the movie is good, even with the multiple sappy scenes (is this a trend? I saw it happen in Spiderman 3 and it pretty much destroyed half of the movie for me) it's balanced with good action scenes, snappy lines and the return of the.. hmmm, maybe I should leave some things for you to see? :D

Also the appearance of Andre Braugher which you may remember from "Homicide: Life on the street" which may be the best cop tv show ever, struck me as a surprise. The friend that came with me said that this fine actor is "slamming" (or something to that effect). I think he was just enjoying himself doing a character that's not entirely good, but not really bad, not to mention an army type, which is not something I'd think of him as.

The rest of the cast gave a decent performance, and I liked the small joke involving Stan Lee :) so, you better go see it!
