I want to see How To Lose Friends And Alienate People, comes out on October 3rd, I believe.
The problem is lack of transportation at college, and the even bigger problem of trying to round people up to see a movie when they'd much rather just... well, not. I've got one friend who I think I can convince to go through all the trouble, since she has similar taste in movies as me, though she doesn't share my obsession with Simon Pegg.
I have this disease where I have to see anything with Simon Pegg in it, and I always think it's good. If "Run, Fatboy, Run" sucked, I won't admit it.
Oh, and Megan Fox is in this. Yum.

OK so a couple weeks ago my store got passes to Death Note.
Yeah, Death Note. The live action adaptation. I was like "Well this should be awful."
Wrong. Wrrrong.
Now, I've never read the manga or watched the anime but this was actually a pretty cool movie. I like the whole concept, really, and it was well done. Good acting and everything. I really liked it.
The only unfortunate parts are that the Shinigami type guy is visibly the most CG thing since that fire door in Avatar, which isn't even bad it's just not awesome. And the other thing is that it was dubbed. At first it looks poor, but you end up forgetting it's dubbed most of the time anyway.
Oh actually there's a third thing; Japanerds. Seriously. They were awful. The line was full them wearing their stupid pseudo-vampiristic and/or gaynime and/or women's-things-on-men and/or whatever-the-ugly-leatherdaddy-spastic-cousin-of-goth-is clothes. I actually saw two children (Boy and girl? Girl and girl? Boy and boy? No idea.) handcuffed together... Yeah. And all throughout the movie I could tell who was important right away because of the incessant whoos and screams and swoons and lame-teenage-awkwardness-at-a-kiss and everything else that makes me hate any popular anime. Some people actually talked in the movie as if they were still at home watching their pirated fansubbed Death Note episodes while eating barrels of Pocky and drinking chamomile tea because they are such #####ing individuals.
I haven't wanted to kill more people in one room in a long time. And I take the bus DAILY! But still, that was the only actual bad thing. OTHER people. Not shabby, really.
Sonia read the manga and her brother too as well as watching the anime and they both thought it was really good so I think if you liked the Death Note stuff before the movie won't disappoint and if you know nothing about it you'll still enjoy it.
Apparently there's enough story left over for 'at least two more movies', and I'd like to see them. I don't know if I'll end up checking out the original stuff though.

That seems possible. I haven't wanted to kill more people in one room in a long time. And I take the bus DAILY!
BUSES AREN'T ROOMS
Anything with four walls a roof and floor all connected can be regarded as a room. Actually even that's too specific. The universe is a series of rooms. There is the unknown universe, biggest #####ing room of all. The known universe inside it. In that room is galaxies. In our Galaxy room is our solar system. In that room is our planet. Then you got your continent, then county, then state/province/whatever-borders-you-got, then your city/town/region, your neighbourhood, home. Your home is filled with #####ing rooms but is basically a big room to store all your rooms in so let's just focus on a couple rooms. Your bedroom, with your drawers, which could have a box in them, which could some other container(s) which go on into infinity. Alternatively; Your garage if you have one, stores you car, in that you've got the glove compartment, in that the infinity thing again. |

Bruce Willis is dead the whole time. There, now you know the movie. That's the exact scene I'm talking about. "A laaaaaaaadyyy."
Yea except I don't give a ##### about what the kid is talking about, I'm just looking at the dead woman creeping me the ##### out. And #####, I was 9 or 10 years old when I first saw it so I lacked the ability to figure out the movie, especially since I had no idea what it was supposed to be about. Though, I still think that if I had just watched it for the first time today, I wouldn't have been able to call it.
I literally saw the commercial ans was like "Kid sees dead people, Bruce is dead person. Twist. Whoo." and then went did something better than watch it in theatres. It's a good movie, I guess, but I think it was totally overhyped and it continuously fails to totally catch my attention when it's on TV, so I always end up doing something else when it's on. Now Unbreakable on the other hand... That's the limit, son. |
