Well, yeah, except I think that the sneezing fits and the wonderful nose gunck make me basically unfuckable at that particular moment.

Flonase. My sister in law swears by it. I've never used it. I don't think it's OTC, but it could be now.

If it's not obvious, I have serious allergy issues. And a cat (came with the wife).

No no no, not flonase. I don't think I've ever seen what I (sometimes, but not frequently enough) use advertised.

Sneezing fit, intense orgasm, who can tell the difference?

Flonase is still prescription. And it think it is meant to be a substitute for what I already take (Zyrtek), not in addition to it. I knew I wanted Benedryl last night, but not enough to go out and buy it at 1:00 a.m. Just wanted to check if any Benedryl substitutes are worthwhile before I head to the pharmacy today.

No good, huh? I was half wanting to see it because I liked the first one so much. But it seemed that aside from the main character, the elements that made the first one good were missing from this one. (Low budget, expectations thrown out of whack, isolation related terror, small group paranoia/dependance.) The trailers for this one seemed like it was trying to be a full on sci-fi extravaganza that used the full on special effects instead of the situation to magnify the story.

The movie within the movie wasn't bad. The full on sci-fi extravaganza parts weren't so good. But there is a good hour where Riddick and a small group are running from the white hot light of one angry sun. That part wasn't so bad since it was the exact opposite of the first movie.

It wasn't horrible. I just think they started shooting it too early -- like they had a good story, but didn't really have a solid script.

Of course. By the way, what's with Cusack and pens? Do you think it was the same one that Dian Court gave him?

TM

Not only that, but the dies-by-pen dude is Cusack's real life kickboxing instructor, and in Say Anything Cusack played . . . a kickboxer(!) Hmmmmm.

How charming.

I want to meet the twisted fuck who wrote the dialogue for "The Chronicles of Riddick." Good grief. You should change your avatar with the quickness.

There were so many one-liner, unintentional laugh-out-loud moments that it fucked up what actually wasn't such a bad story line.

You were expecting quality dialogue from this movie?

Speaking of movies, we went to see A Mi Madre Le Gusta Las Mujeres over the weekend. It was amusing in a Pedro Almodovar kind of way without being directed by Almodovar and has a rock club scene that was worth the price of admission alone.

But there is one sequence, in which the Spanish sisters travel to Prague to convince their mother's Czech girlfriend to come back to Madrid with them, that speaks volumes about modern Europe. The sisters show up at the door of the apartment in Prague and ask for the girlfriend IN ENGLISH, which, of course, her Czech family understands immediately. The French must be so pissed that the lingua franca of Europe is American.

Nasalchrom? I think I used to use something like that when I was little. It wasn't very effective for me, because contrary to popular belief, not all 8 year olds like shoving things up their noses on a regular basis.

ETA: I just saw your edit. Hmmm. Maybe I'll try it again. Something around here must be peaking in its pollen, 'cause my sinuses are killing me.

What OTC stuff do you people take for allergies? And have you found any that won't keep a person awake at night? I take Zyrtek every day, but occasionally still have crazy sneeze-until-you-feel-as-though-you-might-never-stop attacks that result in crazy congestion, watery eyes and headache. Needless to say that the supplemental medicine I took last night (non-drowsy Sudafed - the only thing in the house) was initially effective and then resulted in the wide-awake and jittery thing at 5:15 this morning.

Fuck me.

Benadryl works for me. Don't know what I'd do without those little pink pills.

Fuck me.

I take Benadryl in extreme distress situations. Far from keeping you up at night, it will put you to sleep if you're so inclined. In fact, hostpitals frequently use it as a sleep aid when stronger soporiphics are contraindicated. (This last sentence primarily for Atticus's benefit).

No. But is it too much to ask to have the dialogue at least be unnoticeable such that it doesn't detract from the action and effects?

Atticus would want you to spell soporific correctly.
