So last night, John and I watched the movie Underworld. I liked it. John thought it was merely ok. I’m usually a total wuss who can’t watch anything scary, but I have an obsession with vampire movies. Also anything that has to do with Jack the Ripper, for some reason. That Johnny Depp movie, From Hell? Loved it. Anyway, I liked Underworld. Lots of people skulking around in cool black outfits, loud music, fast paced action scenes etc…everything a vampire movie needs. When I get all skinny and fit? I want to look like Kate Beckinsale does in this movie. Except with curly blonde hair.
There is, however, one big problem with this movie.
One of the leads, a character named Michael, looks just like the singer from Creed. Oh how I loathe that guy. For all I know, he is a wonderful person. But I do not care for his music or his Eddie Vedder rip-off voice. John hates him too. This is not the household for a Creed fan. We actually even have a psychic Creed-hating connection. Here’s the conversation we had when I got home from work on the day Creed broke up.
John: Did you hear the good news?
Me: What, that Creed broke up?
John: That’s amazing. How did you know that’s what I was talking about?
Me: Well, what else could it be?
John: This is a glorious day for music (or something like that – I think there was some insulting of Creed as well. John is very creative with his insults.)
And then here's last night's conversation:
John: This guy looks like Scott Stapp. It's annoying.
Me: I know! I was just thinking the same thing. It’s kind of ruining the movie for me.
Luckily, Mr. Creed lookalike gets turned into a werewolf and a vampire, so he starts to look a little different towards the end of the movie. And they totally left it open for a sequel, which I have to admit, I will watch. As usual, I want to know what happens next.
