I looked up the real guy depicted in the movie, and wow, what a moron. Why does he deserve to have a movie about his life?

Anyway, I saw a couple of recent movies:

Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen: I didn't like the previous movie, but I could imagine it being decent with a lot of editing and a bit of rewriting. However, nothing could help this one. It had people running around and stuff blowing up and lots of robots and it was just all horrible. Compared to the first film, the battle at the end is bigger, longer, and above all even less coherent. It's difficult to describe how the movie made me feel: As I watched it, I realized that I should've had some reaction to the unbelievable errors (people walk into the Smithsonian and walk out into a mountainous desert) and the arguably racist humor, that I should've wanted to murder most of the characters, but I felt nothing. It's like the movie instilled a sense of terminal dullness in me. Very odd. At this rate I could watch Transformers 3 and come away not remembering any of it.

Terminator Salvation: This began pretty well, as an all-out action movie that started up and only got faster. However, after a while the plot kicked in and the movie slammed on the brakes. You can tell the screenplay went through many hands; John Connor feels shoehorned in and from what I've read he was originally supposed to be a minor character. All the big action scenes are near the beginning, so the one-on-one fight at the end feels unimpressive (and a bit ridiculous: a robot keeps going even after being immersed in molten lava). Skynet's plan to manipulate the characters was pretty convoluted, but I guess evil computers tend to do that. And the sacrifice at the end just felt stupid. Still, there were some cool action scenes so you might want to rent it if you like that sort of thing.

Knowing how it turns out...I consider more comedy than anything else.

Here's what came through Netflix:

The Simpsons Movie - Not bad, actually. My biggest complaint is that Firefox doesn't recognize "movie" as a word. It doesn't seem to think "Firefox" is a real word either, so take that as you will. But yeah, it was better than I remember the last 10 years of the Simpsons being.

28 Weeks Later - Why do obnoxious children live in these movies? Why? I can't imagine anyone watching will be rooting for them. Remember Aliens? Pretty badass when Ripley duct-taped the machine gun to the flamethrower. Less badass when Newt was fucking shrieking in every. Fucking. Scene. Road Warrior? Obnoxious little kid. Six String Samurai? Obnoxious little kid. If there's ever some sort of worldwide destruction, and I'm picking through rubble, the last thing I want to have is an obligation to take care of someone who would rightfully be bullied mercilessly if children their own age were still alive.

Dear Mr. Huxley,

Yes, "Wicker Man" was a strange but good movie, in a "The Prisoner" sort of way. I mean the original Patrick McGoohan version. The new version is good, but not quite the same feel.

I agree that any time Nick Cage has left on this Earth should have been transferred to Woodward instead. Seriously, has he done anything worthwhile since "Raising Arizona"?

Nick Cage making fun of himself in a movie that doesn't take itself seriously = possibility of a decent movie.
Nick Cage going for "serious role" = instant shit-fest.

Dear Mr. Mustang:

Some of us older fuckers remember Mr. Woodward in a little film called "The Wicker Man."

[image]

Woodward was on the other end of this siren call, one of the better moments in film history (the video will not embed, so you will have to double click on the image to get to the video -- trust me, its worth it).



This film should not be confused with the Nicholasshole Cage crapfest called "Wicker Man." It does not have a hot naked love song. It is so bad, it is fucking hilarious.



I do not know what I liked better, Cage in a bear costume beating up a defenseless woman or Cage getting the shit kicked out of him.

Anyway, RIP Mr. Woodward.

Sincerely,

Hon. J. Canker Huxley
