long time no blog
May 27, 2009
I am aware that it’s been a while between blogs here. Just wanted to say that it’s going to be a little longer. I’m too busy with more pressing stuff. However, next month, when summer is in full swing, I may be able to come back and blog more frequently.
I feel bad about the fact that I don’t have anything film industry related in this post, so:
1) Boy, that Terminator movie looks bad, huh?
2) I believe that in order to innovate in the heist genre, you can’t just tack a 3rd or 4th reversal on after the other act 3 reversals. You have to think of a new kind of heist.
3) From what I could tell from their first 30 minutes, Righteous Kill is not about a righteous kill and Vince Vaughn’s Wild West Comedy Show contained little comedy and no wild west elements.
1. I thought it was ok…I guess I’m out of the loop as far as what’s “cool”. I don’t see why the new Terminator is an abomination and the new Star Trek movie is the greatest thing ever. To me, they’re actually pretty similar. But, what do I know, I’m a nerd. I guess people really liked seeing Spock be a dick and Kirk get his ass-kicked by everybody he meets and Eric Bana pretend to be Khan.
2. Agreed.
3. VVWWCS - What? You didn’t find it hilarious when they did that improv where they pretended to be at a restaurant ordering food and Vince Vaughn pretended to be an asshole and they mentioned Swingers? Whatever!
Yeah, watching that movie made me think, “Wow, as a profession, acting and stand-up comedy are both really gross.”
I really liked your point of view, subscribed to, I’ll wait for new posts.
Interesting idea, but I would put it slightly differently.
