9:00 - Starship Troopers - Showtime Beyond

I saw this movie when I was recently married. We had bought a new bed from the Nebraska Furniture Mart and we were waiting for it. It was supposed to be delivered between 10 am and Noon. Noon came and went. No bed. My wife went to work later that day. Still no bed. I waited and waited. Still no bed. Finally, 7:00 rolled around and Bill showed up to see Starship Troopers. All I could think of was that I couldn't leave, what if the freaking bed showed up? Bill told me not to worry about it because it's probably not coming. However, because I knew that Laura was going to come home while I was at the movie, I had to do something. I wrote a long note about how I waited and waited, but no bed came. Then I had to put our old crappy mattress back on the bed frame. Then I made the bed. I went to the movie with Bill and all I could think of during the whole movie was "I hope to God the delivery guy doesn't show up with the bed while I'm gone." I get home and check the caller ID. Thankfully, no bed showed up and I was free from any possible blame. This was all the stores fault. Oh and the movie was pretty cool. Starship Troopers shoot tons of armored bugs. Which reminds me, why didn't they just uses small ships on the ground instead of ground troops? 9:30 The Shining - Thriller Max West Steven King openly hated this adaptation of his book, but it's miles scarier than his piece of shit miniseries that was on ABC. So Stanley Kubrick botched up your vision of the book. It's still one of the scariest movies ever filmed that just oozes creepiness. Also, as a twin, the dead twins freaked the shit out of me when I was a kid. I was always scared that I was going to round a corner in a hotel and see dead twins.
