Actually no.

She just keeps saying "I wanna watch the movie. The one with the Rawr, the zeeba and the Jaff and the Wyno."

"It's a hippo, honey, not a rhino. Hippo."

"oh. hippo. I wanna watch that movie. 'member that?"

Just watched it, so my feelings are raw.

spoiler alert

Way too long for the story it told, with a gigantic clusterfuck where the plot should have been.
Disjointed. Disappointing.
More of the same stuff - not that the stuff wasn't entertaining enough (it was great in the first and second movies), but there was such potential for this one to stand out from the other two the way the other two stood out from each other, what with
THE FUCKING GODDESS OF THE OCEAN
there to mess with things...which you totally fucking expected her to...but no, she turned into a bunch of crabs and became a whirlpool, and that was that.

Could have been a whole slew of new, fresh stuff to throw at the audience's heads - deities, monsters, merpeople, voodoo, Pacific Island folklore, Bermuda fucking Triangle - but pfft. Nope.
"This worked before, it'll work again, but this time we'll have Asian people. Kick ass!"
Also, what was with the Council of the Brethren or whatever?
I thought it was based on Pirates of the Caribbean, not It's A Small World, which it apparently is, because it is quite possible to travel from Singapore to Antarctica to Singapore, then around the horn of South Afuckingmerica and up to the Caribbean, all without gaining a day's worth of stubble - and it is cut to seem as if were a half-day's ride.
Calypso could have just led them to the Bermuda Triangle for fast travel - hell, they could have used that to go to Davy Jones' Locker, and not had to worry about Singapore at all. Could have saved tons of budget, and made the whole story way more cohesive.

And come ON. Merpeople. Bad ass sirens doing Calypso's bidding.
Fuck the whirlpool, bring in the army of the oceans, held at bay until Calipso was set free. Lets see the East India Trading Company beat that. SOMETHING other than "the second movie, but with more explosions."

And God forbid any of the characters EVOLVE.

*I'm sure I'm being way too critical, but whatever. I'm extremely disappointed.
They could have done much better is all I'm saying. MUCH better.
The outnumbered good points were vastly overshadowed by the mind-numbing monotony.

With the writer's strike and the lack of good tv to watch, we'e been getting The Wire on dvd through Netflix. That show is really good.

Watched The Warriors this weekend.

The Warriors frickin' RULES! Already have that one in my DVD collection.

We watched 3:10 To Yuma this weekend - hated it, dumb actions by characters etc... sorry for anyone who liked it. Also saw Evan Almighty which was cute.

Finished Dexter Season 1 recently, that was pretty good... very different but portrayed sociopaths in a pretty realistic manner.

BizarreTees · 02-25-2008, 06:49 PM

Kiss Kiss Bang Bang was hilarious and I liked it much more than I thought I would.... I suggest for everyone to check it out. Also Equilibrium.. a great sleeper hit with Christian Bale.

Gotta love my Netflix!

Giant Salamander · 02-25-2008, 07:42 PM

I didn't really like Equilibrium all that much. It was entertaining enough, I did like the script, but there were too many things, plot-wise and thematically, that were just copy-pasted from other stories. And I know everyone was supposed to be cold and emotionless, but damn, that movie was cold and without emotion. Perhaps they could have done that in a way that didn't feel like taking anesthesia...or perhaps they could have actually made it emotional when he found his emotions, instead of "I now cry. I now appreciate art and music. Indeed, I didn't know what I was missing."

But yeah, it was well done in any case, and Christian Bale is a sexy mother fucker, so that made up for something at least.

Excellent film. I am a certified scuba diver. I have been on dives similar to what is shown in this film. I could *easily* imagine this happening. I found the film very frightening. Highly recommended, or perhaps I should say deeply recommended.
