OK, so The Host (note: lots of flash and window-resizing, etc.) is frickin’ awesome. It’s a South Korean monster movie crossed with Little Miss Sunshine. So very, very strange. And good.

And strange.

I can’t really describe it beyond that. It’s just… yeah. Watch it if you get the chance.

Also, a funny lobby convo right before the movie:

Me: You should see Beach Party when it comes out on DVD.
Mr. Saturday: Is it good?
Me: It’s this year’s American Astronaut, yeah, it’s good.

Then a woman in front of us in line whips around - whips, like she’s standing on a rotating floor plate - and says, wide-eyed: Did I hear someone mention American Astronaut?

Me: Yeah, you did.
Woman: Oh God, I love that movie. Did you see it?
Me: Totally!
Woman: Do you have the DVD? I have the DVD.
Me: Yeah, I have the DVD, it’s fantastic.
Woman: So you’re saying Beach Party is good?
Me: Yeah, it’s good.
Woman: This year’s American Astronaut?
Me: Yeah, I’d say so.
Woman (pointing at her date, nearby): I make him watch American Astronaut all the time. (Turning to said guy.) This guy says Beach Party is this year’s American Astronaut. You know, Beach Party at the Threshold of Hell, the movie I wanted to see.
