Oh look, it's weird, so it must be good
It's suppose to be dull? That's the point?![]()
IIRC, I saw a subtext of "the dull pointlessness modern life" and all that. But still... boring.

Baron Munchausen is a pretty accessible movie for Gilliam and will always be a sentimental favorite of mine.

She rented and made me watch Twilight. The relationship is now over. Coincidence?

Re: Recently viewed movies
have any of you read about how that book series ends? There was a CHUD article about it last week that's kinda spread all over the web that details it and it is bat-[expletive] insanely awesome.

And the worst part of the movie is that nothing happens. Seriously. NOTHING [expletive] HAPPENS.
Girl figures out that the incredibly pale guy is a vampire that sparkles in the sunlight, they fall in love in two minutes and he saves her from a much more realistic vampire. The end.

Re: Recently viewed movies
Holy crap, I had to go there and search for the article "Twilight spoiler" popped it right up at the top. Meyer is such an awful writer, wow. I assume they'll somehow make a movie so they can make another quarter billion dollars, but, jeez, what an absurd premise. Unfilmable unless major book-to-film changes are made, in my opinion.clevername wrote:have any of you read about how that book series ends?

On another note, this stuff is marketed toward 12 year old girls. Spoiler, for those of you that will never, ever read nor see this series: (if you actually read this schlock - er, I mean fiction - don't read this )
That is for preteens to read? I'm astounded.
