Yawn fest

worth me going to see a matinee in the next couple days?

Yeah, big time. They are two of my favorite actors, but the movie was just bad.

Really? I actually enjoyed it quite a bit. You guys do realize the movie doesn't take itself seriously...ala Snakes on a Plane.

Yea, I'm not sure what I feel about this movie yet. What I do know is that carrots should never be used as weapons in a movie no matter the situation.

What if they are used to kill Carrot Top?

Oh, what delicious irony!

And I do mean delicious. Carrots aren't just good for you, they taste good too!

You know what else carrots are good for? Weapons!

Wait, that's what started this conversation. Strike that last thought!

I didn't really want to yell that last sentence, but the three previous lines ended with an exclamation point, so I was just following through FOR CONSISTENCY.

Also, I have no idea what movie you are all talking about.

p.s. I don't normally open up threads in this forum if I haven't heard of the topic, but this one was started by Balloon Guy and he's a millionaire. A millionaire with balloons!

I like to eat baby carrots dipped in ranch dressing.

But damn I really wanted to see it but not so much now. Giamatti is one of my favorites.

you'll like it. Don't let these downer Daves get you down. It's an awesome movie.

Snakes on a Plane was a good movie.

This one was not.

The shooting scenes were good, and I laughed a lot in the warehouse, but the rest was bad. Giomott (sp?)i was good though.

fyp

And I like Carrot Top. I saw him live at a casino in Palm Springs and he was funny. But what a freak.

The movie was supposed to be a crazy action movie with no regard for plot. It was supposed to have insane and unbelievable, well choreographed gun fights and crazy action. Basically, the movie wanted to be a Jacky Chan movie with guns.

It failed to do this for two big reasons. First, so much of the movie focused on plot, and was so frickin boring. I really don't care about why they're trying to kill the baby or not. I mean, I'm fine with them trying to piece together something coherent so there's at least some reason to fight, but they spent so much time on it, and there were so many worthless scenes about it, and the plot was still more or less incoherent.

Second, the action just wasn't all that amazing. Some parts were decently impressive/funny/clever, such as when he shot a guy through the drawer or when he slid on oil, but the rest felt repetitive and somewhat simple. Also, his "kill lines" weren't very good at all. They were quite lame. The movie overall was just somewhat lame.

I wanted to see something akin to Kill Bill with guns, with crazy violent but clever and funny action. It was supposed to be a kinematic comedy, akin to those of Buster Keaton (with guns, of course). It was none of those things. It was just frickin boring.

Paul Giamattii called. He says Fred Claus will be better. Vince Vaughn is in it, and he is funny. Hopefully, he won't try to off himself anytime soon and create bad press. Monkey see, monkey do, you know?

Paul actually used that phrase. I don't know if that is how he talks, or if he was just speaking my language. Meh.. I don't care. It's always a good day when Paul gives me a call.

I like carrots as much as the next guy, but what is up with them grating them and throwing them on a salad? I don't understand it, you can't fork them. I spend about 20 minutes trying to scoop them up. Stupid carrots.

I respectfully disagree.

The plot? What plot? There was a baby and he had to protect it. The reasons why came through the violence, not in spite of it. Personally, I guess that's why movies are subjective.

Now you wanna waste ten dollars on a movie...go see Mr. Woodcock. I haven't seen a cinematic abortion (that's two abortion jokes for me today thank you very much) like that since Drive me Crazy or Just Friends...
