She gets it, he gets it, why don't you get it?
You see the pictures are back up. That's because: I SWITCHED HOSTS!!! YOU CAN'T GET ME, YOU M'THERFUCKERS AT MYSITESPACE, NOT WHILE I STILL HAVE SOME MON~~~~EY!!! *sniffs* My space, my ass.
I switched over to hostpc, sankyu Megumi. *flies you lil hearts of luuurve* They're even cheaper than what I'm paying for at www.mysitespace.com. If I'm not stressing this enough: DO NOT GO TO WWW.MYSITESPACE.COM. THEY ARE RIPPER-OFFERS M'THERFUCKERS! I'm moving the whole site over to www.jubilantjane.com with a spanking new layout :D It's just a matter of tomorrow or the next day.
I see Depp hasn't gotten very eager reviews on C&CF. Tough, I'm gonna see it anyways. I don't care if his portrayal is reminiscent of Micheal Jackson. He's also got Corpse's Bride coming out eh? Oooh, fun time of the year for meeee. I'm among the praisers of Depp though I haven't seen many of his movies because they have the tendency to scare me within an inch of my life (Once Upon a Time in Mexico comes to mind...). I wanna check out Wedding Crashers too; soft spot for Vince Vaughn, heh.
Last week my friend and I went movie hopping. Saw four, I repeat, FOUR movies in a row. (Splitting headache afterwards and indigestion from a nacho lunch, courtesy of Loews', but HEY, there're worse things in life *peace sign* !) So now you feel it: the impending REVIEWS (and consequent spoilers)!!!!
WAR OF THE WORLDS: This was hilarious. There were aliens who, I'm sure, were rejected from Independence Day and waited 10+ years to get their break here. What is UP with those tripods buried under the Earth. Why TRIPODS? If they're so advanced, WHY TRIPODS? Even better, why tripod machines big enough to crush a handful of gibbering humans IF they had a foot, but instead, who chose to carry around pulverizing laser guns 1/25 of their size. I felt for those aliens, they must've felt like their were in a bad video game. But no, they were just in a bad movie. This movie took all the crap from the reject sales of Steven Spielberg's filmography and made it a party. My friend and I giggled all the way through it. Orson Wells did a better job. Things just didn't add up in this movie. By the end of it, all I had were scattered little sparks lying here and there and not something complete. And I don't know about you, but does it feel like Tom Cruise is always running? In every one of his movies? HOW ABOUT SOME REINTERPRETATION, SPIELBERG?
Hey, those aunts and uncles in the end were aliens right? I mean, they had this creepy look and all and lived in the only section of Boston miraculously unscathed by attacks. And funny how we saw his son Robbie get blasted out of Kingdom Come and somehow Robbie gets to the Boston party SOONER than Tom Cruise does? Oh how.
BATMAN BEGINS: I am so late on this one but it is intended. After seeing this, two things occurred to me: (1) Michael Keaton is STILL the real Batman (2) I understand why Batman is afraid of bats. Hey, one out of two is very decent. Unlike its two loveless and useless predecessors. I've always been a stickler for Christian Bale. He's a good actor, but he's just in bad movies most of the time. He made Batman Begins work here. Here's the young Bruce with no direction and lots of misguided bravado. Liam Neeson plays the "other" Qui-Gon Jinn, and Morgan Freeman plays himself. But it summed up well; except for the ninjas. The movie did a fantastic job of ingraining into me what it ingrained into Bale: the fear of the bats, the fear of the unknown which led to fear of life. Batman here wasn't smoothed, wasn't cultured; he stumbled, fell off rooftops and made a spectacular ass of himself in society. Bale conveyed all of that, but beneath him was this young man who wanted so badly to change the things around him for the better. And that was essentially what made him into Batman. This movie connected all the channels to one another; I was able to think about it afterwards and understand where he came from and somehow where he's headed. Kudos.
One thing though. Both my friend and I couldn't stop shaking it off our backs. Bale's CHIN was so wrong. Oh so wrong. If you look over the lineage of Batman in movies (starting with the real batman), they've all had solid square jaws; befitting of that horrendous mask. You've got to have the goods in its place. Bale had this girly, pointy chin with that rounded jaw and it just didn't click. He talked funny as Batman; too much teeth. I felt my jaw sore watching him deepthroat those words. Ugh.
And the mandatory (or not) Katie Holmes. Nothin' special. She slapped him twice and that was the end of her, at least for me. She could've been replaced by anybody (like Jessica Alba) and I wouldn't notice. Mm Mm, not at all. The only reason she got it was probably because her character is Rachel DAWES, as in DAWS-ON'S CREEK. Get it now? La la la.
FANTASTIC FOUR: I was really confused at the end. The theater was still dimmed, the screen was dimmed. I sat there, fidgeted a little and thought, "Is this the end?", then, "No, can't be...". I looked around, people were leaving. It was the end. I felt I sat there for the whole of 14 minutes. Their ending fight was at a street intersection?????!!!! WHAT?! If you're not going to give us plot or characterization, at least give us a PROPER BANG AT THE END. I refuse to pay 10 dollars (in theory) to watch a common street brawl with Reed and Victor throwing around, "Here's a little chemistry test for you"! The only actor with an amount of anything was Michael Chiklis who played Ben (the Thing). But the whole thing was a farce; it was like watching a home-made movie by your neighbors. You humor them because they don't really know how to make movies. Victor, you played Doctor Doom like the younger brother of Darth Vader, congratulations. And Alba honey, you're a scientist, remember?
Fantastic Four likes to remind you that friendship is greater than money, that it is better to have loved and lost than never to have loved at all, and that there will be sequels, LOTS of sequels. The end.
BEWITCHED: AHAHAHAHAH, WILL FERREL. Basically, I went to watch it for Will Ferrel. He was cute, fun to watch. It wasn't his best but it did feel great just to relax and laugh at his silliness. The dog scene at the dinner was...oh, out of this world. I like Kidman, but I honestly felt this role did not tap into her energy. She was moving around in a box during the whole movie. I felt uncomfortable watching her be a...dingbat. And it wasn't even an honest dingbat. But I don't know, is Bewitched clever? It's like a recursive algorithm, a movie within a movie within a movie sort of thing. You come out of it and you realized you haven't really seen anything at all. I can't even remember much of it...now that I think about it...
I hear they're making Pirates 2 and 3? I'm fearing this because Johnny apparently only cares about his Jack Sparrow. I was thinking the only way it'll top the first Pirates is if Johnny and Orlando have hot smexy man sex. And Pirates 3 have hot smexy man sex with more hot smexy pirates, effectively making it an orgy of hot smexing pirates. Savy?
