I'm kind of annoyed at that movie. I gave money to it on Kickstarter, and I was supposed to get a free digital viewing of it. I assumed that meant I'd get to see it before it hit theaters, but I still haven't gotten it yet.
It was super dumb, in the best way.

Oh, there's a reason I gave money to it on Kickstarter. It looked awesome and I've been wanting to see it for a year.

Big Hero 6: rented and watched with the kids. I think the adults and kids enjoyed it equally. Nothing amazing, but a fun family-friendly flick.

Divergent: Meh. I know it's the first in another trilogy and I'd be interested to see where a few pieces of the story end up going but overall it was just ok.

Gone Girl: I must be the only person in the world that thinks this, but I found it boring.

Expendables 3: Another meh. I thought the first 2 were pretty entertaining. This one not so much.

Divergent was pretty terrible but the dream sequences almost made it bearable.

What about all the other pieces of JK's band?

Anyway, thoroughly enjoyed it. Don't know how it got into the Oscars at 100 minutes though. The English Patient had four intermissions.

But I tell you what. When it comes right down to it if my choices for becoming great are being berated by JK Simmons or making out with Mila Kunis and masturbating, I'll probably take the latter.

Currently watching Pee-Wee's Big Adventure for the first time in years. This movie is [expletive] great.

That's Adequate! (1989)

Bruce Willis, Robert Downey Jr, Ben Stiller

Listed as 1986 in the credits, it reminds me of what I imagine "Movie 43" is like - a whole bunch of sketches with people who were asked to do favours for the producer, where a camera would turn up at the actual movie they were working on for 20 minutes and have them film a bit of something. This is a mockumentary about Adequate Films, and it's a combination of heavily re-edited public domain footage, sketches masquerading as clips from their many films and TV shows, and interviews with the people involved. Quite a lot of it's improvised as well.

It's a strange one, as you'd think with just those names involved, someone would have re-released it down the years, but it's on VHS and nothing else. If you can track it down, it's worth a watch.

It seems a little rich when guys as vociferous as Sean Penn do movies like the one I just saw a preview for that make guns and violence look sexy and cool. But I definitely have an interest in seeing him do Liam Neeson 12.
