The Omen

clumsycake, Aunt Tudi, and I went to see The Omen remake today. I used some of my movie passes and clumsycake provided snacks (popcorn, nachos, and beverage). In we went. All in all, it was a really good remake of an excellent movie. Little Damien was appropriately creepy and the updated deaths were pretty eye-popping. Trying to fill the gigantic shoes of Jerry Goldsmith is impossible to do, but Marco Beltrami did a fine job trying, so I salute him. It was pretty groovy that "Ave Satani" was incorporated into the score. It's inclusion comforted me in very strange and unsettling ways.

Of course, it still bothers me that they created the 666 birthmark to look like a triskele. I don't think anyone noticed my tattoo or my jewelry. If they did, they didn't indicate it. That's fine with me. Still though, it's distressing that the triskele might now be associated with "The Mark of the Beast" in some people's minds. Bleh.

I still have a few movie passes left and will continue to go see movies until I run out. After that, I'll be keeping my poor arse at home.
