ahh, to be Mel Gibson
I can't wait for the day that I, like Mel Gibson, will be rich and famous enough to direct, write, and produce my own feature films, filled with graphic, over the top violence, and blunt visual metaphors!
Can't. Wait. Someday guys, you'll see.
I joke, of course. I watched Apocalypto tonight with my roommates, and it wasn't terrible, but it wasn't all that good either. There were things that didn't need to happen that did... quite often. And what bothered me probably most of all was the sense of accelerated time throughout the whole movie. I know it's meant to be a fast-paced chase film, but... eh. Maybe it was the fact that it dwelled in certain places for so long that it felt slow, and then it would speed up again and you would remember that "oh yeah, this isn't an epic journey so much as a wild goose chase" and then a bunch of violence would make you forget you were thinking anything at all? Maybe?
I'm not a movie critic, I couldn't tell you.
Anyway. Actual Stuff That Is (Or At Least Might Be) Interesting™ coming soon. Now I sleep.
