A Little Part of Me Just Died.
There are a few people I keep in touch with from my old World of Warcraft raiding guild. One of those few people has a blogger that I read, oh, just about ever day. But today, when I made my merry way to Furious Cognition I was greeted with this. I think it's pretty clear what I thought of this movie. In fact when Elfy and I were at the video store this weekend the biker couple we ended up trailing behind as we looked at titles were talking about how incredibly terrible this movie was. I believe Mr. Biker told Ms. Biker that it was a festering pile of crap. We agreed. To learn that my pal Zcepter (I should have known something was off when he changed Scepter to Zepter) thought it was "Gold baby. Pure Gold." Scepter, if you are reading this my eyes are sad, and I'm just a sad panda. We are going to have to discuss this sometime on vent.

No Country for Cloverfield
We watched "No Country for Old Men" and "Cloverfield" last night. I'm still forming an opinion about "No Country." I didn't hate it, but I'm not sure if I liked it either.
I do have an opinion abut "Cloverfield." ***Spoilers***
So it starts out the day in the life of a group of people, shot "Blair Witch Project" style (one of the characters is running the camera). It's hard to really care about the people, the story was not that interesting. I believe I asked Elfy when the spider bug bombs were going to start about 2 minutes in to the movie. When things finally do start happening the style of the movie becomes even more annoying. I hate jiggly camera. I also hate movies where they are shy about showing you their monster. So there is a lot of sly shots of the beastie, lots of running around and jiggly (not to be confused with jiggy) camera shots, one (seriously one) combat scene, maybe 5 spider monsters and then the blessed death of the characters start. I hated the way the movie ended, crappy movies should end completely, not open. I found satisfaction in the fact that all the characters you are forced to follow die. I would say don't waste the money, wait for it to come out on TBS or something. Or maybe the bunny troop from Angry Alien will re-inact it in 30 seconds (that would be the better option).
We rented two other movies, hopefully they will be, different. :)
