OMFG!!!! What is the cinematic world coming to? Why must Hollywood trowel out turkey after turkey? If I see one more of those so called "2 thumbs up" flicks that suck bo-bo, I'll shoot myself!
I've come to hate going to the video store to rent a DVD. I wander 'round the place for sometimes an hour, trying to find something decent to watch, and just when I think I've found a diamond amongst the coal, I go home, watch the disk gently slide into my DVD player, and then become horrified whence I see the shitty movie I jes' spent $5.99 to watch. I am crushed! Oh, the humanity! The earth rocks and temple veils are rent in twain! Somewhere, the gifted artists of Hollywood past are weeping!!!
Just the other day, my honey and I went out to grab some burgers and rent a couple o' flicks. What a disappointing evening. Not only were the movies gobshite, the burger joint screwed up our order too. I'm beyond irritated. Not only did the double mozza I'd ordered come to me a single, and the cheese + xtra cheese on my better half's completely forgotten about ('cept for the inflated cost still charged), the movies were horrible too.
As you've prolly guessed by the title of this lil' rant, one of these movies was a sequel to a very good movie. I'd expected better, and got shafted with a movie lacking damn near the entire cast from the first, the story line was weak and nonsensical, and the ending was a complete disaster. It was one of the worst pieces of shit I've ever seen.
The second flick we rented was a classic case of pure confusion. The movie went no where. The plot was extremely sketchy, the story line was non-existent, and the ending left you wondering what the hell was this stupid movie about anyway. I'm still confused, and I saw that schlock three days ago. What were the writers of these shitty movies thinking? They should be dragged out into the street and shot.
Needless to say, I'm very cynical 'bout the new films being steadily released today. I see a preview that touts the movie as "brilliant!", but I'm beginning to see that now a days, sometimes you can judge the book by it's cover. If it looks like shit, it'll be shit, and if it looks good, it will most likely be shit too.
So what to do? Stay in and read books for entertainment? God knows there's nothing worth watching on TV, 'cept for a lot of crap. We've got digital cable with over a 100 channels of crap to choose from. I think I'll sell my TV and dig out my old Lego blocks again! At least that's entertaining. So what if I'm in my mid-30's? I'd rather be a contented 33 yr old man who plays with Lego, than a perpetually grouchy person, cursing the movie industry for all of the money I've spent watching the shit that's coming to a theatre near you.
At least the popcorn I'll be eating at home won't cost me $6.50. And the screen fades to black!
