Mediocre Movie Time!

Oct 03, 2007 08:44

After a long month of heavy overtime and crazy work-related stress, nothing relaxes the body like mind-numbing cinematic bliss. Except maybe sex. But I'll talk about the former here.

Shoot 'Em Up

( Lots of spoilers, but really, there is so little plot to spoil, so just read on. )

I loved this movie with the love of a supernova. It has been a long time since I've had this much fun in front of a silver screen.

I agree completely. Sometimes you just have to throw away the petty bonds of reality and replace them with action-packed fun. And this was the perfect way to do it.

HEY! You did not mention Shoot 'Em Up at any point when we were discussing whether we would see a movie on Monday. If you had mentioned this was what you were going to see, I would have gone with you!

I CRY SHENANIGANS ON YOU!!!!

It was going to be Zombies, Ping Pong, or Asskicking. Then I saw this on the billboard and said "Oh yeah, that had Monica Bellucci dressed all skanky-like... choice made!"

Yes, but you only mentioned Zombies and Ping Pong, neither of which I was interested in. You didn't tell me Asskicking was an option!

I MUST SEE THIS MOVIE.

*burns with the glee of a thousand gleeful suns*

You must. It is tons of fun in a tight little package.

Huh huh, tight package.

I was thinking of you, CV, 'cause I just watched a movie about German dudes. Gay German dudes who played soccer. Yes, the movie was actually called, "Guys with Balls." It was teh awesome!

Sample dialogue: 3 gay leather dudes are lying in bed together the night before the big game.

1: (nervous)We could all get sick. We could get the flu.
2: (rolls eyes)
3: It's summer!
Thunder and lightning outside! Gay dudes sit bolt upright.
1: See! God himself is against us!
3: (very dry) Yes. God is against fat, horny little boys.
They all lie back down to sleep.

Genius! And all I could think the whole time was how much better it'd have been if you would have been there with me. It was in German with subtitles, so I got to enjoy listening to that language, really for the first time. The German word for gay is so evocatively naughty-sounding: Schwule. "shvooluh." mmmmmm . . . schwule. . . mmmm. . .

No movie could ever displace Iron Ladies in my affection. But this movie comes close.

I can't wait for the sequel, "Guys With Bigger Balls." Soundtrack by AC/DC! "We've got the biggest balls of them all!"

We need to watch more movies together. Plain and simple.

Sounds like it's destined to be a classic. :)

It already is. Vegetarians everywhere should be cheering for the carrot's starring role.
