No sassy comment. Just no. No. Never. Ever. NEVER!Anyway, the book series and movie I've been obsessed with is the Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy. Not like Misery obsessed, but almost one step down from that. Douglas Adams is a fantastic author, and I'm starting to dip in his other works. The movie is fantastic [if you've read the book series that is,] and it's just ok I guess if you're going into it blind. The flick is filled with inside jokes and so many references to the book's material that it's almost a different movie entirely if you've read even the first four chapters of the book. Read it. Watch it.
1979 was a crazy, crazy, tie dye-ish time.
1979 was a crazy, crazy, tie dye-ish time.Other movies and some "brief," brief, comments... otherwise I'll get carried away and angry:
Bruno: I gave it 2 and a half stars out of five. Hence the rating, I was fifty/fifty on the movie. It succeeded and failed in a cornucopia of ways. I laughed a lot, I did cover my mouth in shock a few times, occasionally my jaw dropped. On the other side of it, sometimes I stared at the screen asking myself 'Is this funny?' and 'Why am I here?' This was a dirtier, less funny version of Borat. I had a feeling Sacha Baron Cohen would not be able to strike gold twice. It didn't feel that short, nor was it too long - it was just right. I don't think it hit Borat's success at all; we loved Borat - he didn't know American culture, he was ignorant, he was pushed around, we almost felt bad for him so when he said something sassy or did something awful, we laughed. Bruno was in-your-face, he was too 'head-on' and the whole gay thing got pretty stale really fast. Plus, his sidekicks were nothing compared to Borats'. I did admire Cohen's technique though - the way it played out and his manipulation is just amazing to ogle at. The movie had a formula just like Borat, but since Bruno didn't have the best turn out, humor like this might only be caught on repeats of Da Ali G Show. When did the penis become so funny? I think it all started with Forgetting Sarah Marshall. Thanks Jason Segal!
This just in: Penises are in and Vaginas/Boobs are out Out OUT!

In the next Movie post [will be posted tomorrow,] I'll touch upon Public Enemies, Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince, The Nines, and One Flew Over The Cuckoo's Nest.
