Have you guys been to the website for the movie yet? A more ponderous, annoying thing I have not seen in a long time. Blech.
'Out Of Gas'
Buffista Movies 3: Panned and Scanned
A place to talk about movies--Old and new, good and bad, high art and high cheese. It's the place to place your kittens on the award winners, gossip about upcoming fims and discuss DVD releases and extras. Spoiler policy: White font all plot-related discussion until a movie's been in wide release two weeks, and keep the major HSQ in white font until two weeks after the video/DVD release.
I have this sinking feeling I'm going to think the twist is ultraclever and brilliant or something, and you all will look down on me forever and ever.
I'm denying myself the spoilers, and it's slowly killing me. Arghh. How can I last until next Friday? Is it worse than Signs??
Is it worse than Signs??
Oh you poor innocent child. It makes Signs look like The Seventh Seal.
Wahh! I know I'd want to see it because of my weakness for creepification and Joaquin Phoenix, but not reading the spoilers is killing me.
It makes Signs look like The Seventh Seal.
Wow, really? Well, as long as it's not "It was all a dream"...
Whew. Thanks, Jim. That actually makes it easier, because I don't need spoilers for slapstick.
Oh you poor innocent child. It makes Signs look like The Seventh Seal.
I now have Rice Krispie square in my nose.
I don't even know what the twist in "Signs" was, because my Mel Gibson hatred pre-dates the Jesus movie. What was it in "Signs"?
And the reviews of CATWOMAN are about what you'd expect.
From the NYT review:
She overacts Patience's flaky timidity and then, to compensate, overdoes catwoman's suave self-confidence, swinging her hips and pushing out her lips as if she were trying to attract the amorous attentions of Pepe le Pew.
I don't even know what the twist in "Signs" was, because my Mel Gibson hatred pre-dates the Jesus movie. What was it in "Signs"?
It was a whole predestination thing, where Mel's kid's asthma caused him not to have breathed in the alien poison, and Joaquin's baseball ability allowed him to break shit, and the aliens were vulnerable to water. Or something.
I really didn't think it was as awful as everyone else, but not as good as his first two films.
