'Objects In Space'
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 can't figure any pattern in my Stupid, I Hate It/Stupid, But I Love It.
I mean...
I hated Signs for the aliens invading a water-filled planet when it turns out that they would die within nineteen seconds of landing so how, exactly, can we fear them as a superior invading race and, plus, the little girl just *happens* to have some compulsive need to put scads of fucking water all over the house *conveniently*?
But: I loved Demolition Man and Judge Dredd.
It's just my heritage.
Next, you're going to be claiming that Michigan explains Waterworld. And MM's gonna thwomp yer ass for associating him with any such claim, which would have the benefit of getting him back to LA, which, okay, taunt withdrawn now that I think of it.
Unless MM likes Waterworld too.
Jilli, I read that Dark Shadows/Johnny Depp/Tim Burton rumor over at lj. . . sometime within the past few weeksk.
I haven't seen the film, but I assume the aliens in question arrived on the B Ark en route from Golgafrincham. It's the only logical explanation.
Wired says that Burton is directing it but Johnny is unconfirmed.
Really have to get around to seeing Judge Dredd.
And, if I *really* put forth the effort to enjoy Demolition Man because of the stupid, I can kind of get into it.
I don't dislike it, but Demolition Man kind of falls into the Stupid, Don't Quite Like It category for me.
Sometimes I like it. But it takes work, for me.
M. Knight has shown a tendency to cast actors I can't stand as his leads, in addition to the woeful stupidity of his last 3 plots, airing his hurt feelings about critics in his movies, and featuring himself as speechy and possibly messianic figures. Unless one of his future efforts relies on Ben Browder exercising naked as a plot point I don't foresee ever spending money on another ticket.
Wired says that Burton is directing it but Johnny is unconfirmed.
Bweeeeeeeee!
starts scheming as to how to become an extra ...
the B Ark en route from Golgafrincham.
That's GOT to be it.
Next, you're going to be claiming that Michigan explains Waterworld.
NOTHING explains Waterworld. I have no defense for my love of that one. It's a Zen thing or something. I just do.
AND IT'S SO STUPID!
Unless MM likes Waterworld too.
...no. No, I do not.
