Having seen neither any wes anderson movies nor the sopranos this is doubly true over here

Finally got around to seeing Black Panther over the weekend, and I'll admit that I was kinda disappointed in it. The CGI and stuff was obviously out of this world awesome, but overall it just seemed kinda dull and even rather slow for several parts.

Wes Anderson: I like his films visually, and they have their moments. But I can't help but be bored by them.

Sopranos finale: At the time, I had a complete WTF? reaction. But I quickly came to appreciate it. Finales for almost all great shows seem to come up short, because it is hard to wrap everything up without looking like you're pandering. I can see why they ended Sopranos that way. If I'm ranking finales, the Mad Men finale was far more disappointing.

Vegged out on Friday night and watched 3 movies.

"I Hope They Serve Beer in Hell" - Supposedly based on a true story/best selling book, it's about a guy who is a persuasive scumbag and goes on a wild bachelor party adventure with his 2 friends, one of whom is getting married in a week. Mayhem ensues, but it's all good because he rents a bounce house for the wedding. If that last sentence sounds dumb, well it matches the movie.

"Palm Swings" - Movie about a swingers club in Palm Springs (see what they did there? Huh?) and a new married couple who try it out. The husband reluctantly agrees, to make his wife happy. Heartbreak ensues, but in the end they patch things up because this movie is as predictable as they come.

"The Box" - Starring Paltrow, Frank Langella and some other people I don't remember, it's about a mysterious box that shows up on Gwyneth's front door. Langella explains the next day if they push the button, someone they don't know somewhere in the world will die, but Gwyneth's family will get $1 million cash. Tragedy ensues, because Langella doesn't lay out all the terms/consequences. What started out as a decent concept derailed into something about alien life forms and was probably trying to symbolize God/Heaven/Hell, but by this time, it was 5am and I was tired.

Bottom line: I wasted my Friday night. By sharing these reviews, I hope you don't ever do the same.

BTW...The Box was Cameron Diaz I believe...lol

Hahaha, I can see why you'd naturally identify Paltrow as being in a box.

When I was a douche drunken college fratboy, I loved reading Tucker Max's blog, even though it was full of debauchery and painted a ridiculously awful portrayal of women. I even bought his book (same name as the movie).

That was also 15 years ago. If I were to read it again, I would likely stop after a few pages.

Yes, you are right. And I can't believe I messed that up, because I'd much rather look at Diaz than Paltrow.

Obviously, the movie was very memorable.






Not.
