Watched some rentals on flights this weekend. Real Steel was surprisingly entertaining, and I was also surprised that I did not want to program a robot to beat the kid in it. I usually hate movie kids, but he was pretty benign.
Also watched The Flowers of War. I was curious about it because it is one of those movies that critics absolutely hated, but viewers seem to really like. On rottentomatoes, Top critics put it at 21%, but viewers average rating is 3.9 and 78% liked it. I did not hate it like critics, but it was hard to take the setup seriously, and I am never a fan of one dimensional villains, but I get that it would be hard to give emotional depth to the perpetrators of the invasion. That aside, the characters in the church were engaging and it is definitely watchable. Also rewatched Drugstore Cowboy. Still as good as the day I first watched it in 1989.

Went to see the campaign tonight.
I got a few chuckles out of it, but it wasnt ferrells best work. Galifianakis did a better job. Showed some emotion, but overall it wasnt that good.

"Stranger Than Fiction" was ass. "Talladega Nights" was the very next film.

Stranger Than Fiction and Everything Must Go are the only two Farrell movies worth watching. Anything else and we're just discussing degrees of crap.

I love it when the "cool kids" like to be "different" and go against the grain of the popular vote.

I like Ferrell probably the least of all of them. He's the only one I'll actually leave the room for. |

Alot of the popular stuff is driven by the teen to mid 20s Friday night/sat night crowds.
That particular audience is basically just wanting to have a good time. They dont want to have to "think".

Love Kennison, Pryor, early/mid-career Robin Williams (not so much the last 5-10 years), Mitch Hedberg, Steve Martin stand-up (not the early movies), early Eddie Murphy, some George Carlin... |
