WE WERE WARNED

Nov 15, 2009 15:04

Oh my sweet God, no movie as stupid as 2012 has any right to be TWO HOURS AND THIRTY-EIGHT MINUTES. I drank HALF a smuggled 12 oz bottle of Coke (Tiny Coke, if you will), and nearly DIED. My bladder is BRUISED.

My mom's the disaster movie junkie--she hasn't seen a movie in the theater in six months (I think she last one she saw was Up), so I went ( Read more... )

the wolfman, movie discussion, movies, my mother

(OMFG THE WOLFMAN TRAILER WAS SO AWESOME IT IS WHAT THE INSIDE OF MY HEAD LOOKS LIKE. I was seriously just sitting there all a-squee, clapping my fists [so it would be quiet!] chanting "WOLFMAN WOLFMAN WOLFMAN!!!!!!" and my mother was like, You are so weird.)

I SAW IT THE OTHER DAY AND I TWEETED ABOUT IT TO YOU AND YOU DIDN'T EVEN SAY ANYTHING BUT THE TRUTH IS THAT IT IS GOING TO BE VAN HELSING 2 I FEEL IT IN MY FUR AND IT EVEN HAS JACKMAN OMFG.

NO WAY!!!! That turkey totally did NOT earn out and deserve a sequel!!

It was, I must admit, the most I've ever laughed in a movie theater....

"IT MAY STILL NOT HAPPEN."

I'm clapping my fists and chanting "Oh please oh please oh please oh PLEASE let it happen. . . ."

I lol'd at your review because Mark Kermode said exactly the same things in his movie review and now I'm completely convinced that I'm not gonna see 2012.

I am one of those possibly dicks who believes wholeheartedly that it is all right to jump up on his feet and testify when a movie trailer is frickin' amazing.

I also believe that that sort of behavior would be unforgivable during the actual movie. Even if, like Troy, the trailer was way better than the movie itself.

I'd support you whole-heartedly if you did that with me in the room. Even if I didn't agree.

I have come halfway to my feet and asked for a, "HELL YEAH!" and heard, from about eight rows forward, a quiet, "Hell yeah!" from a couple of other voices in the audience.

One of my better moments in inconsequential rabble-rousing.

On the other hand, I had a very earnest Church Lady(tm) in a hat! Sitting behind me when I saw The Lion The Witch and The Wardrobe, and she was all "praise Jesus!"-ing through the ENTIRE FREAKING MOVIE.

Not ok.

Ugh, you had the Wolfman trailer?! I had Grown-Ups and Did You Hear About the Morgans and some other horrible things. :P Jealous. But yeah, seriously, way too long. Hilarious, but long. I didn't know Thandie spoke French that well, though, and that made me like her a little more. She spoke better than that Louvre guy, frankly. Honestly, it just felt like they put a bunch of stock characters into a hat and drew out a bunch and then was like "Russian mobster with a hooker girlfriend! Divorced-but-still-caring-parents! ...Wait, we did that in The Day After Tomorrow. THAT'S OK! DO IT AGAIN! Blustery politician guy! BRING IT ON!" Such a win. Poor Chewie, trying to turn in a legit performance. :\ I do love him.
