I went to see Jumper with my friends last friday. I throughly enjoyed it. It’s not a deep movie, theres no character development, or award winning dialogue, but it is a damn fun movie. I used to say flying would be my favorite super power, and although it is way cliche it still has it’s merrits; But I live in the digital world and I have ADD. Lets say I wanted to get to Paris from New York for a date. I’ve gotta fly, even at supersonic speeds its going to take me some time to get there. Plus going that fast is gonna mess up my hair, and dishevel my carefully picked outfit. I would have to check the weather all the way across the ocean to make sure I wasn’t going to hit and storms along the way. Half way across the world I would remember my wallet (which I left on the tv while I was watching the weather) so now i’m turning myself around. Then it starts getting dark and cold. Shivering my ass off above the atlantic ocean (probably got caught in rain anyway) puts me in a rotten mood. I finally get to my date, late, cranky, wet, cold, and looking like a Hobo. Fail! Instanteanous travel on the other hand. I relax all afternoon and rehurse my lines while getting ready. My alarm goes off and pop! I’m walked down the street in France. I called ahead my table is ready. I sweep her off my feet, wile passionat sex ensues and we live happily ever after. Jumping just seems so much more practical.

The movie had some good special effects, and watching Davy have lunch on top of the sphinx was just damn cool. I doubt I’ll get to do that on my trip to Egypt.
