Halloween surgery and sucky movies time!

annathepiperDr. Towbin's office called me at lunch this afternoon to follow up as per my request, and tell me what gets to happen next. The nurse I spoke with tried to tell me that I needed to "do some soul-searching" about what route I wanted to take--mastectomy vs. conservation/radiation--and I assured her I'd already made that decision. So now I'm scheduled to go in for a pre-op appointment on the 29th to discuss the game plan. The 31st will be Surgery Day, at which point the cleany-uppy things I've mentioned before will be taken care of all at the same time.
They've recommended that I take two days to recover, so I'll arrange to take the 1st and the 2nd of November off. Which means I'll be out of commission for less time than for each of my thyroid surgeries (which is a bit weird to me, but hey!), and which means I'll have me a five-day weekend.
And what this means is: MOVIE SUCKOFF TIME, baby! The floor is now open for suggestions as to appropriate movies to skewer. No movie too awful! No Sci-Fi Pictures Original too goofy! Remember, people, I'm going to be on painkillers. Hit me with your best shots!

Radiation isn't bad at all. You go in every day, but it only takes a few minutes. I was in and out in 10 minutes every day. I didn't feel any great fatigue from it, but others have said it makes them tired.

Date: 2007-10-20 08:28 am (UTC)As for bad movies, try Texas Chainsaw Massacre 4, The Mole People, The Atomic Brain, Manos:The Hands of Fate, Pod People, The Beginning of the End, The Brain the Wouldn't Die, The Crawling Hand. (Did I mention these bad movies are also MST-ied? Heh!)
BTW, this is your old Telgar 5 buddy Reina/Lewyn. ;) Been reading your LJ stuff, and sending you positive vibes. *hugs* Glad to hear it ain't as bad as first thought. Take care! :)

Date: 2007-10-20 05:39 pm (UTC)But! For purposes of the Murkworks Movie Suckoff, that's kind of cheating--since I've seen all of MST3K, anyway. The idea with a Murkworks Movie Suckoff is to watch things we haven't watched yet and issue a verdict on which one is worse. Previous Suckoffs have featured Battlefield Earth and On Deadly Ground, for example, each of which were matched up against a Sci-Fi Pictures Original. ;)

And haven't seen it myself, but I've heard Halle Berry's Catwoman was some more high-budget suckage.

Date: 2007-10-20 06:04 pm (UTC)And I'm all over MST3K, yeah; we were fans of MST3K in my house all throughout its run, and we've got a lot of it on tape. But for purposes of a proper Murkworks Movie Suckoff, that won't count since it's all stuff we've seen already. To do it properly, we need a theatrical release and a Sci-Fi Pictures Original that we haven't seen yet. ;>

Date: 2007-10-20 06:14 pm (UTC)I'll have to meet again with my radiation oncologist to set up the treatment plan, but I am going to aim for doing it after work. Hopefully that plan won't get disrupted too much. :)

A movie which features the all-time best opening song "It's all good, it's alright, everybody gets laid tonight!"

Date: 2007-10-21 06:42 pm (UTC)I tried the Star Wars Holiday Special. Once. Not going there again. ;)
Some of those others though are full of promise!

Think of it as a feature length version of the Last Episode of the Prisoner, but with Peter Sellers instead of Patrick McGoohan, a less coherent plot, more jokes, and an awesome Herb Alpert soundtrack.
