I neglected to review this movie because it was so uninteresting that I forgot everything about it the instant we walked out of the theater and sneaked into a theater across the hall to see Avengers again.

Lockout was a way better time.

All cheap-theater movies should strive to be this one: Lockout was exactly what I wanted to see based on the trailer, which was a ridiculous movie about Guy Pearce breaking the president’s daughter out of space prison. It didn’t try any funny business like going beyond that and striving for a clever/self-referential plot; it didn’t try to be commentary or critique on our culture. It did however feature a “low orbit police department,” the oval office being in a bunker underneath apparently destroyed Washington DC, and the NYPD having tanks in the background of a random scene. None of this was ever commented on or explained, since it was just background and not the really, really dumb stuff that made up the actual plot.

In short: I would totally see this movie again for two dollars.

Frances Benjamin Johnston, Self Portrait (c. 1895)

“[Johnston] presents herself with beer mug in one hand, cigarette in the other, and skirt scandalously hiked up above the ankles. On one of her fingers are several rings from male suitors she had rejected.” (Martin W. Sandler, Against the Odds: Women  Pioneers in the First Hundred Years of Photography)

Badass of the day: Frances Benjamin (muthafuckin’) Johnston.

Confession: I was one of the 50% of American children who really wanted to be an astronaut when I grew up (also, I assume the other 50% wanted to be Batman.)

Pandavengers assemble! (Because the Avengers as pandas needed to happen.)

So then I spent way to much time on this this instead of working on my final project. I even brought the watercolors out! Anyway, I blame certain of my friends on facebook for this picture. YOU KNOW WHO YOU ARE.

Aren’t they cute though?
