Email from the past

Fun! I'd forgotten I did this. I just received an automatic email from myself three years ago. Next time I receive it will be in 2010, then 2015, then 2025.

A few things have changed since that message, but some other things have remained exactly the same.

Mummies

I saw The Mummy and The Mummy Returns several years ago and greatly enjoyed them -- understanding they were ridiculous, etc. But they turned my crank fairly well.

I'm currently watching The Mummy: Tomb of the Dragon Emperor. Oh. My. GOD it is ridiculous.So far beyond. I can't even describe. It's amusing, but I'm really not buying it even slightly as much as the previous ones. Which is too bad, because it could have been fun.

As Roger Ebert says:

Moviegoers who knowingly buy a ticket for "The Mummy: Tomb of the Dragon Emperor" are going to get exactly what they expect: There is a mummy, a tomb, a dragon and an emperor. And the movie about them is all that it could be. If you think "The Mummy: Tomb of the Dragon Emperor" sounds like a waste of time, don't waste yours.

It's true!
