I can finally write a somewhat coherent short report of the concert. It was incredible, and it really was coming full circle for me, as I got to hear the first two VNV Nation songs I ever heard, the ones that got me into the band (Honour and Kingdom), performed live. The arrived a bit late thanks to us getting lost three times (Mapquest always throws in that one wrong direction just to see if you're paying attention). I managed to lose the two guys I came with during the show, and I and they had different ideas of where would be a logical place to meet up. I went to the car because we all knew where that was, they stood at one of the doors and figured I'd eventually come out of it (I left through a different exit, unfortunately). They then called my cell phone, which was locked in the car. As they'd seen me get searched and knew I was only carrying cash and my driver's license, this was a bit of a sweatdrop moment. All turned out happily in the end, though, as they eventually thought to check the car.
1. Total number of films I own on DVD/video:
I don't know. Not a lot, though--I only tend to buy movies that really mean a lot to me, like Silence of the Lambs and Se7en (heh). Most of the time, I just wait and I eventually get the movie as a present.
2. The last film I bought:
I don't remember. It's been that long.
3. The last film I watched:
In a theater? Unleashed, actually. I watched it while my friends were seeing Hitchhiker's Guide for the second time, and wound up wishing that I'd gone with them instead.
4. Five films that I watch a lot or that mean a lot to me:
~Mystery Men: My all-time favorite movie. I love the premise, the costumes, the sets, the characters, and the dialogue. It always makes me happy, and I took the bit where Mr. Furious has a notebook with a fuzzy kitten on the front very much to heart--just because somebody looks a certain way, it to doesn't mean that they are that way.
~Sky Captain and the World of Tomorrow: When I can afford it, I'm buying it. I am, at heart, a Son of Ether, and this movie delights my inner Etherite and my inner child.
~Se7en: This is the definition of a good modern film noir for me. I love this movie, and the acting is incredible. John Doe is my favorite movie serial killer.
~Steamboy: An hour and a half of beautifully animated philosophy on scientific ethics and the purpose of science. 'Nuff said.
~Silence of the Lambs: I love this movie. I'm not sure why, I just do. Hannibal Lecter is my favorite movie cannibal, and following very closely behind John Doe on the movie serial killers list.
5. Five people I'm passing this onto:
Any five who want it.

But it was amusing, and it's summer, and I'm bored out of my everliving skull.
So.
