Moooovies
Movies. Yes. I seem to have watched more than usual, lately.
Meaning, I've actually watched some. Here are my oh-so-important thoughts on each:
1) Terminator: Salvation - It's so dark.... No, I mean that literally. It has no color, and I can barely tell what's happening half the time because it's too damn dark. That's because the future is DEPRESSING, and the END has come! You can tell this because everything is gray! When I make my award-winning, generation-defining movie about the life of cyborgs and their adorable rapport with snarky children, the cyborgs are going to be fucking pink.
And the whole, hicks-from-the-future-who-were-only-there-to-provide-convenient-excuse-for-dude-to-rescue-suddenly-and-oddly-helpless-soldier-woman-from-being-raped thing was pretty stupid. And I felt let down by the guy who'd been turned into a cyborg without knowing. They didn't do anything interesting with him.
2) Star Treck: It's awesome. Everyone knows it. I need not say more. Here's a fun video.
3) Transformers 2: Revenge of the Fallen: This movie caused a whole clusterfuck of reactions:
- "....what the hell just happened? Where have I been the last 3 hours? Why does my brain hurt?"
- "Gosh, that was a stupid part...oh wait, that's actually from the cartoons....I SHOULD TOTALLY WATCH THE CARTOONS!"
- "Man, Michael Bay is such a pervert. I mean, come on: 'I love to hold your flesh, boy!', Megatron mouth-raping Sam, Soundwave tentacle-raping a satellite...why am I kind of turned on right now?"
I won't hate on ROTF too much, because now I'm discovering the joys of G1 - and Megan Fox - and for christ's sake it's a Michael Bay movie!
4) The Host: A truly awesome, Korean "big creature is attacking everyone!" movie that plays fast and loose with the genre...in a good way! Squid beast comes and starts attacking people, kidnaps a little girl, and her family has to find her before it eats her. The best part of it...that totally solidified my love was the fact that......
.....they don't save her in time!!!! She gets killed by the monster anyway!!! Screw you, American happy endings!
