Hobbit: An Unexpected Story

I loved the LotR movies but couldn't get into this anywhere near as much. Part of it may be to do with my not being able to look at Martin Freeman without seeing Tim from The Office but, even that aside, the whole thing seems ridiculously padded out. The book isn't that long and no way does it justify what'll probably amount to about an 8 hour movie in the end.

Tree of Life.

Shit. It was like a youtube movie of hubble deep scan images from NASA's website spliced with some Discovery HD stock footage (and I would have honestly preferred watching something educational like Atlas or NOVA) and really choppy, depressing, college-art film about people's exaggerated grieving. Then there were the boring childhood scenes with the terrible soundtrack. That first awkward funeral? Wow. As if real funerals aren't fucking hard enough, but to sit through this terrible one on film (twice no less)? I do wish my parish had a hat rack there by the candles, I never know where to stash my ball cap during Mass. What was the point of the gratuitous clown? Over-emphasis on the Oedipus complex a bit much? Did they have to needlessly antagonize Brad Pitt's character so much? (by the way, I just skipped through it all every couple minutes when I couldn't bear to sit through it)

Yeesh. This is was what everybody was raving about a few years ago? I couldn't even sit through the whole thing it was so bad.

everyone making art is by definition "pretentious" so i'm not going to hold that against the guy, or anyone actually.

the movie just bored me senseless. storywise, it appeared to be a glorified, gorgeously shot home movie with philosophical ramblings--- but still a home movie. "little timmy, at 7, playing in the backyard." unless i'm related to little timmy, i don't give a fuck, and then only for 30 seconds.

SPEAKING OF WHICH

watched PTA's "the master" this weekend. i got the sense he wants to be the next terry malick. a bit of a rambling aimless story with again gorgeous shots of all kinds of shit. i liked the movie, but i felt i could have liked it more if he hadn't been so purposefully ambiguous. i can't explain this just yet because i haven't had time to think about it yet, but when the movie ended i thought "what the fuck? is this the end?"

anyway, joaquin and the fatman did a great job. so did that chick that looks like the blonder sister from the one in the office.

RIP James Gandolfini

Only 51. Scary and sad.

Jaws 2

I prefer the first one but for pure enjoyment the sequel's hard to beat.

Dr Chocolate · 06.21.2013, 12:56 AM

around 21:37 in THE EXORCIST 3
why in the fuck does the guy whos in the hospital bed say
"Go in peace my child. May the Schwartz be with you."
then it cuts back to George C Scott rolling his eyes
kinda like to say, why is there a Spaceballs quote in this movie?

I gave up watching it at that point. I watched the first 2 before that.
then I watched SCANNERS instead
now it's MIDNIGHT RUN

GI JOE: RISE OF THE COBRA

Because I thought this would be utter shit, I was pleasantly surprised and I look forward to many sequels.

Favorite parts:

-The Eiffel Tower is destroyed. Someone says to the President, "The French are pretty upset."

-The Joes confront a weight-sensitive hallway. Step on it, you'll die. So a guy handwalks across the floor because, duh, when you're upside down you don't weigh anything.

This is gloriously stupid brilliance.

Worst soundtrack ever, though.
