30 Day Movie Challenge - Day 21

Feb 08, 2011 15:28

Our lab/floor dedication--a.k.a. a "Thank you for paying for our space, rich doctor man!" party--is tomorrow. I've done zero science today. I've just been tidying and tucking every last goddamned thing I can into cabinets or drawers out of sight. I still think my boss is going to come in tomorrow (she's home today grant writing) and find a million more things for me to hide/throw out. Oh well.

Day 21 - The most overrated movie

I never like mob movies/stories/TV. It doesn't appeal to me at all. I sympathized with Meg Ryan's character in You've Got Mail, and I think she was right: mob stories are such guy movies. They're not for women at all, and I couldn't hardly find a thing to relate to in this movie. I hear the sequel is better. So fucking what? This thing was monstrously long, and nothing about it appealed to me--not the random violence, not the "honor" code among the mafiosos, not Michael Corleone's eventual slide into the family business, nothing.

Worse, I think this is one of those movies that people overhype because it's ZOMG art or something. Whatever. It's long, not much happens, and what does happen is all stupid instead of tragic, and blah blah blah. You cannot care a goddamn about the people in this movie, so you certainly can't care whether they fail or succeed or die or whatever I'm done talking about this POS.
