Of course it did, it was Johnny Depp and Christian Bale, two of Hollywood's wierdest heavyweights. I'll still always love em though.

I know this movie is 32 years old, but I just felt the need to say I've just discovered "The Graduate", which I'm sure many of you have seen. I found it so wierd, but I enjoyed it.

New Moon sucked so bad, why did I go see it? Here are the reasons it sucked:

1. Kristen Stewart can't act
2. Bella Swan is a horribly written character, let alone protagonist
3. Bella Swan is an idiot who chooses a vampire, who's cold, distant, and wierd, over a werewolf, who's warm, intuitive, kind, and his whole purpose in life is to keep her safe. I mean, c'mon, not even considering their appearances, the werewolf is obviously the choice because he isn't immortal, he's only a wolf a little bit of the time, and has no wierd secret society he has to cowtow to, only a small pack that Bella already knew anyways.
4. The costumes are totally shit. I'd rather see the werewolves running around naked instead of their dumb cut off jeans. And why are they wearing cut offs instead of normal jeans? The movie takes place in the early spring of Northern Washington. I live in that climate all year round, you can't wear shorts and only shorts! Granted the wolves don't feel the cold, but still, if they're trying to intigrate into society you'd think they'd try harder.
5. Robert Pattinson can't act and is ugly.
6. The movie is too fucking slow. Half the movie is waiting for Jacob to kiss Bella and even though he's got tons of chances to do so he never does! It's worse than Escaflowne for waiting for some sort of closure on an unrequited love! GOD DAMN TEEN ANGST!!!
7. VAMPIRES DON'T SPARKLE! Even though not all Vampire lore is the same, the one thing that they all had in common was that they burned in the sunlight or equivalent UV rays. Then there are other things, like in Anne Rice, The Vampire Diaries, Bram Stoker's Dracula, and Buffy, wood kills. Especially a stake to the heart. Other things like silver bullets, no going through doors you weren't invited into, a cross, and garlic also exist in different vampire stories. Twilight vampires are just too powerful and for some reason only the werewolves and the Volturi can kill vampires.

Damn you Stephanie Meyer, you destroyed vampires for a whole generation of dumb school kids.

You could have just said "New Moon" sucked because it was "New Moon" and we would have agreed with you.

Giving it any thought, even into the review, is a mistake.

Damn it, you're all correct on this. Even though I hate it, I consciously hate it. It's that old paradigm "bad publicity is still publicity."

I actually think I could have fun with #12. #26 is too silly.

I promise that's all I'll say about Twilight until Eclipse comes out (I'm allowed to talk about that one, I have friends working on the damned thing).

when you have to make promices not to talk about it, and not just let people assume you will never bring it up again (as is right in world) should inform you of a problem

The Box
Fucking piece of shit movie, oh my god, it sucked so much!!! Boring as hell, rough edits that leave you thinking what kind of moron was in charge of editing, and stupid ass supporting characters that do nothing but say a couple of sentences and then disappear for the rest of the movie, hell, the main characters waste most of the movie with predictable, unnecessary dialog that goes nowhere and reveals nothing. Seriously, spare yourselves from this crap.

Goddammit...

Inglorious Basterds
I liked this one to a point. I certainly wasn't expecting the plot to be this good and that's what kept me hooked. But Quentin Tarantino is very predictable:
[spoiler]More than half the characters die and some of them for very stupid reasons in unnecessarily violent ways.[/spoiler]
It is worth a look though, it still carries a lot of good scenes and acting.

Funny People
I hate Seth Rogen, but I gave this movie the benefit of the doubt because of Adam Sandler. Big mistake. The movie has hours upon hours of senseless dialog which aren't even jokes, just people discussing menial things that don't even relate to the plot. Half the movie is just them coming up with crappy jokes and then high-fiving and ass-grabbing each other in celebration. You get to see them doing standup on several parts of the movie which feel just like this (only without the hilarious ending):



Gamer
Action is good and story is quite interesting. My only complaint is that the ending seemed rushed, but if you're in the mood for an action movie that's not borderline absurd, this movie definitely delivers.

Black Dynamite
A comedy that's a sort of spoof of black action stars from the 70s. The movie has that soft, grainy feel from old movies and keeps that sort of realism throughout the film, so the comedy is somewhat subtle (sometimes), but extremely hilarious. You can watch the trailer, but here's a funny scene that convinced me to watch this movie:

Hated Inglorious Basterds, was just too uselessly long to a point where its painful. Too much dialogue, the build-up is huge for a result that is not worth it and during all the build-up you can pretty much predict whats going to happen. This movie is all about build-up and senseless violence. Just imagine all the talking in Kill Bill volume 1 + 2 + Deathproof and remove most of the action.

Funny people wasn't funny... its a drama so I hated it like almost every other drama.

Gamer... I liked some of the action, but most of it felt unreal or retarded, the invincible character kinda like the Commando with Arnold Schwarzenegger but instead of the funny sides they try to put a realism and a serious environment to it which I find bad. The world they tried to create is ridiculous and their is way too much free sex, I thought the ending was rushed or simply lame. So a disappointment overall. Ludacris... just ruins movies for me.

Pandorum was ok, cliche and predictable, I still enjoyed it. I like survival movies, can get long if your not interested, I think it gave more than I was expecting.
