| Movies I've Seen Lately |
| 08.15.07 (10:56 pm) [edit] |
I'm all about subtitling these days
Rocky Horror Picture Show
I saw Rocky Horror at the Midnight Madness at the Cameras with Kelly. Much to our surprise, they did it like the weekly midnight theater shows, with an RHPS virgin sacrifice, people acting it out up front, and the audience shouting things like, "Slut!" "Asshole!" and "Columbia's already eaten Eddie!"
The silliest thing about the sacrifice was that it was mostly kids about 16 who had never seen the movie, and they made them say something about "The movie my mom didn't want me to see" as if their mothers didn't see it when it was a new movie.
It was probably the most fun I have ever had at the movies. Next time, the big show with costumes!
Hairspray
I saw this today also with Kelly. I hoped it would be good. It was better and funnier than I expected. It was well-cast and lots of fun. I highly recommend it.
Fast Food Nation
I would have rather eaten a shit-contaminated fast food burger than watch this. It is long, (where they might have shaved about 15 minutes off if they'd just tightened up some of the shots), they seemed to have no music budget, and by the time they did try to shock you with the blood and gore of "what it's really like" they'd already described it in so much detail by the end it wasn't all that shocking.
In screenwriting 101 they tell you to try to have one hero and everyone else is a supporting player in the their story. In the first few minutes of the story I was expecting the most famous actor, Greg Kinear to be that hero. Instead, they opted to tell a bunch of other stories that were long, boring, and pointless all saying the same thing, "Fast food meat is bad, mmmmkay?"
It is interesting to note, although the movie focuses on the fictitious Mickey's and their "Big One" an awful lot of big fast food names lent themselves to this picture whored their logos in product placement in this picture, based sorta on a book, that does not make them look good at all.
I should have pushed harder for seeing Idiocracy, a movie about a future where people are mindless commercialist pigs. A movie that sounds right up my alley, and is part of my idea for a dystopian comic strip where I co-star as an 77-year-old grandma.
In conclusion
Midnight Rocky Horror fun, Hairspray excellent, Fast Food Nation terrible.
