Well, I was hoping that I could get all this week colored over the weekend, but that didn't hold true. My grandmother's old folks home had a fish fry and since the guy that runs it also goes to my dad's church, guess who got horn swaggled into it? As I watched old people shovel nasty mud tasting catfish into their pie holes almost as fast as I brought it in I was really wondering about it all. I mean, who's idea was it to feed all these geriatric people with hypertension loads of deep fried, heavily salted foods? I wonder how many people I killed that day.
Oh, then I saw Children of Men. Wow, what a crapfest. Since I didn't say anything to the old people I karmically have to save the rest of humanity from this stink fest. The whole point of the movie was that we're all horrible, worthless people who are destroying the planet and are destroying ourselves through our stagnation because we don't have free and open borders. I know because it was preached at me with all the subtleness of Johnathan Edwards running a pneumatic pile driver. They didn't even try and dress it up. The dialog was dull and dreary, quickly becoming nothing more than a dull buzzing in the background. The characters were painfully flat, one dimensional and stiff even for being British. ;) (Just kidding Brits, you know I love ya!) But they were about as shallow as the gene pool over at Grub Hollar. (500 people and all of them have the last name of "Grub") They talk about the cinematography and what a master piece it was, but the story was so mind numbingly dull I wasn't paying enough attention to it to notice anything by then. In summation, it was painfully condescending, and full of eye candy, but relied on explosions and a few fight scenes to make up for the nonexistent plot and 1d characters. Stay away!
