What Did You Watch Today?

Holy shit Kick Ass 2 was totally underwhelming.

Like I went into it with low expectations, but man, I just never cared! Like, at all! Kick Ass was just a shitty protagonist that got a lot of people killed. The idea of Hit Girl trying to fit into the real world is a great idea, but holy shit was the execution poor. And man, what the fuck message was it trying to convey? The real world is shitty but we have to be heroes in the real world because superheroes can't exist but it's cool to still do all the same shit just don't wear a mask and if you're going to make sure it's metal this time?

That's pretty much the only message I could take from it.

I mean... fuck. It wasn't even a bad film. Just totally... I dunno, uninspired? It's like going from watching Last Crusade to Kingdom of the Crystal Skull. Sure, a lot of the same elements are there and it makes sense as a follow on, but it just doesn't work?

It's not even a bad film and by far not the worst sequel to a superhero film, but man... I just wish it didn't exist.

And holy shit are we just going to ignore the fact that his friend gave away his dad's identity and got his dad killed? Are we just ignoring that?

Where did Hit Girl go? What's the point? WHY DOES THIS FILM EXIST AOETINSRIOGUNSRIOGHBURSHG

[LL!]

Exactly.

[GA!]

Computer Chess is... yeah. Ultimately engrossing, nonsensical and pointless. A worthy waste of time.

I'm making as much sense as the film right now.

[Benjamin]

The Aristocats and Robin Hood. Just awesome shit all-around. Aristocats especially, it's amazing how this film has kind of been forgotten compared to the rest of the Disney shows.

[LL!]

Saving Mr. Banks was wonderful.

[Monkey D. Lars]

Dial M for Muder, Grace Kelly

Agreed. Completely. 'Not even a bad film' sums it up -- the whole endeavour is just a waste of time.

Also, THIS IS THE REAL WORLD YOU GUYS *shits and pukes everywhere*

We watched Frozen with the kids. Take your kids to see Frozen. I liked it quite a bit actually.

Hunger games - Catching Fire was amazing and is it just me or:

I was cheering for Guidetti all the time.

Silent Night, Deadly Night, it wasn't great but I liked the last part with the killing. It do want to see part two because of the concept.

Finally caught Alan Partridge - Alpha Papa yesterday. Being a big Partridge fan I was worried it would be a bit shit when taken to the big screen - but fair play it was a really decent film. Good script which played out with a good balance of jokes and covered all the areas I hoped it would. I'm not sure another film could continue the trend of awesomeness with the way it ended but perhaps we'll see. 8.5/10

Did a triple bill at the cinema yesterday. Don Jon was flawed, but a bunch of fun. I thought The Counsellor was a bit rubbish - I really liked the first half, but I thought it fell apart spectacularly in the second half. And finally, I watched Blue Is the Warmest Colour, which was phenomenal, my favourite film of the year so far.

[Colly]

This is 40. Horrible. All the worst bits of an Apatow b-team film ('go on, just improvise something 'funny'') with nothing at all resembling a coherent plot or point. For two hours.

Benedict Cumberbatch is a crazy good Smaug. I liked The Hobbit: Desolation of Smaug, my only issue was withthe shoehorned in romantic subplot(s). Evangeline Lilly's a fine actor and it's a shame she had to play such a blah part.

[livid]

To be fair, I found that less romantic and more anti-romantic. She's just going after the tall hobbit so that she can distance herself from Legolas. Outside of that, she was pure badass.

[TKz]

Stop talking about it guys I have no money to see it yet.

[livid]

No! They were my first Middle Earth films and I NEED TO TALK ABOUT THEM!

[Monkey D. Lars]

Home Alone, it still rocks!

[Jimmy]

Nebraska is pretty great. Seeing the Hobbit tomorrow, should be good.
