I went and looked up what
Hero
was about. Apparently, it is based on Chinese ancient history (like, when the various kingdoms unified for the first time), except for the part where ancient Chinese people probably could not fly.
Okay,
Resident Evil
lovers, why?? It is a movie of vast foolishness, compounded by immense silliness. Also, pointless symbolism. The only movie I can think of that used more gore and pointless symbolism to cover up its silliness was...
Event Horizon.
Polter-Cow is dead to me, I think. The only way those movies can be entertaining is if you are hopped up on lots of (a) caffeine (b) liquor or (c) drugs of a more illicit nature. Or if you're, like, a pathologist.
I thought
Resident Evil
was fun, but it's one of those movies that is even better with the commentary. Michelle and Milla are hysterical.
Well, also, I hate Milla Jovovich with the passion of a thousand fiery clambakes. But the silliness didn't help, either.
Apparently, it is based on Chinese ancient history
Though, really, it's a much better movie if you ignore this and watch it as pure myth. (People hated it in China because of the massive amount of whitewashing it does to the first Emperor of Qin.)
Who, I learned, was the ONLY emperor of Qin! He ruled with an iron fist for 30-some-odd years, died, and his son was promptly overthrown.
Which events were the backdrop of the opera (not the movie)
Farewell My Concubine.
If not for movies, I would know nothing at all about world history.
I love Milla. I think she's my Angelina Jolie-lite.
I once saw Milla as the opening act at a Crash Test Dummies show.
She has an amazing voice. And? If that was not a 'stage persona', she's got a few screws, loose, bent, melted and sauted.
I'm pretty eh on Milla as an actress, but I've found a song by her that I really like off the
Rules of Attraction
soundtrack.
She may also be Juliette Lewis-lite.
