So.... Seen Any Good Movies Lately?

[Gawdzilla Sama]

Just saw The Tourist. Not terribly challenging or engaging and relied too much on Angelina Jolie's beauty, which, IMO, is pretty sparse to begin with.

Got the new Tron up next. Never saw the first one, tho.

The first one will be very funny after seeing the second one, I think. The effects were primarily done with suits equipped like Mai's jogging vest. The jump from live action to animated can be jarring at time. It was an important part of the Tron Drinking Game.

Tron Drinking Game.

Drinking Games are just excuses to get hammered. You set the rules to maximize opportunities to take a drink.

I know what drinking games are, dingbat. And the Tron drinking game isn't at your link.

You're was non-specific. And the Tron Drinking Game was created when VCRs were the size of refrigerators, so don't expect me to remember any details.

What's nonspecific about "Tron Drinking Game"?

Anyhoo, Koreans have buttloads of drinking games that are centered around soju. Next time I come over, I'll bring a few bottles and hold a seminar.

I couldn't tell from that if you'd ever even heard of drinking games. As my reply clearly shows.

You're allowed one quart of foreign booze and one gallon total through customs, FYI.

Do they count what's in my bloodstream at the time?

They draw a sample and wave a match over it.

After a 15-hour flight, my blood would explode. I don't fly sober. No profit in it.

I'll tell Homeland Security you're carrying explosives then?

Bronson. Didn't learn as much about the title character as I had hoped. Still didn't know what motivated him by the end of the film. Cool film, though, and unexpectedly funny.

Despicable Me. Utter rubbish. I love animated films and I love comedies, but this one fell flat. It just went through the motions, without the writers really understanding what funny and clever actually were. Every joke was obvious and telegraphed, dialogue hackneyed, every plot turn cliched. It was an interesting premise given a Hollywood schlock treatment. What could have been funny and fresh ended up tiresome and stale. No genuine originality here, just recycled bits of already recycled bits strewn together. Still, decent animation with some good design work. And I did cry at the end, even though I recognized I was being manipulated in the most transparent fashion.

Boring, predictable, insignificant crap.

Inception. Meh. Too contrived, not very realistic even for a fantasy. Great cast (I particularly like Joseph Gordon-Levitt) given not an awful lot to do. Plot driven as opposed to character driven. Unfortunately, plot was really not all that clever and, to make matters worse, seemed amateurishly realized to my surprise. Not given any reason to give two shits about the characters. Bleh.

Harry Brown. Nice revenge tale with surprising depth and full of unexpected touches. Wonderful performances. Genuinely moving. Enough action to satisfy, enough substance in the film to stay satisfied.

I just finished watching "This is England" and now I need to watch a comedy

(It was very good, it just took me way out of my pre-existing happy space and I wasn't quite expecting something as heavy).
