So, last night for the first time in months BJ and I went to see a movie. We had the opportunity because my parents could look after Fox. I was thrilled to be going to a movie. It seemed like a really fun thing to do. We went to see Super 8. The problem was, that I basically thought it was a different movie. There was some movie I saw a preview for sometime about some people on a train and something weird happening, it looked kind of good, and I thought Super 8 was that movie. BUt it totally wasn’t. I don’t even know what that other movie was. But we saw Super 8. and it was total bullshit. Here is a list of reasons why it sucked:
1. It was so boring
2. The music was extremely annoying
3. Too many child actors
4. Too much child acting
5. What the fuck was Kyle “Coach Taylor” Chandler doing in such a piece of shit?
6. Such a dumb, played-out story
7. Little to no intrigue
8. It had this vibe of “wholesome family fun” but was actually full of violence
9. It relied on cute 70′s nostalgia to charm people–> bullshit
10. It was desperately trying to be E.T. for the new millenium. Which in itself was bullshit.
11. It was so, so boring.
12. There was, like, ONE female character and a hundred male ones
13. The one female character was a love interest to the male lead and her main job was to look “beautiful”
So obviously I shouldn’t have been in the cinema watching this movie that clearly wasn’t made for me. But I was there, and I was just so irritated that it was made, that it had to exist, such that I would end up sitting there wasting time watching it. I kept thinking, why is Steven Spielberg producing this rubbish, why why why. Why can’t he think outside the box and make an interesting film just once in his stupid life. I HATE HIM!!! This stupid-ass story has been told a million times already. And really, I just had to write this blog post to get this off my chest. A bit of culture rage for 2011… Thanks for tuning in. I love you.
Yo, BeckyJoe, that other movie is “Source Code” -> http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0945513/
I think the movie you were hoping to see was “Source Code”. For next time.
Super 8 was directed by JJ Abrams – it is intended as a homage to Spielberg’s early works.. so, yes, there are elements of E.T., elements of Encounters of a 3rd kind.. they are on purpose and expected in a homage – the audience wants to see how cleverly they are done and how well they are worked into the story.
If the movie were a tribute to Hitchcock you would expect something out of the Birds and Psycho. Read a movie review now and then and you may not be so disappointed. =)
Rage on!
I guess they schooled you, huh. But your entry was still hilarious.
