Alarming News: I like Morgan Freeberg. A lot.
American Digest: And I like this from "The Blog That Nobody Reads", because it is -- mostly -- about me. What can I say? I'm on an ego trip today. It won't last.
Anti-Idiotarian Rottweiler: We were following a trackback and thinking "hmmm... this is a bloody excellent post!", and then we realized that it was just part III of, well, three...Damn. I wish I'd written those.
Anti-Idiotarian Rottweiler: ...I just remembered that I found a new blog a short while ago, House of Eratosthenes, that I really like. I like his common sense approach and his curiosity when it comes to why people believe what they believe rather than just what they believe.
Brutally Honest: Morgan Freeberg is brilliant.
Dr. Melissa Clouthier: Morgan Freeberg at House of Eratosthenes (pftthats a mouthful) honors big boned women in skimpy clothing. The picture there is priceless--keep scrolling down.
Exile in Portales: Via Gerard: Morgan Freeberg, a guy with a lot to say. And he speaks The Truth...and it's fascinating stuff. Worth a read, or three. Or six.
Just Muttering: Two nice pieces at House of Eratosthenes, one about a perhaps unintended effect of the Enron mess, and one on the Gore-y environ-movie.
Mein Blogovault: Make "the Blog that No One Reads" one of your daily reads.
The Virginian: I know this post will offend some people, but the author makes some good points.
Poetic Justice: Cletus! Ah gots a laiv one fer yew...
I had to turn to my lady halfway through this vomit projectile of a movie, and let her know how awesome she was for renting this tripe from Netflix so I could sit with her and surf the innerwebs while waiting for Bella to do her next stupid unnecessary suicidal thing.
And I can’t even begin to imagine how miserable life must be for those poor pathetic slobs who get dragged off to this nonsense in a theater. My heart goes out to them if they’re my worst enemies. Sweet Jesus, the popcorn-and-piss-break I’d take if my girlfriend was dumb enough to do that. Oh my goodness, what is that. A video game? I should try it out.
Can’t believe my eyes. Did I really see the following just mounted on a huge conveyor belt and put on an endless loop?
1. Bella does something dumb and almost gets killed.
2. Edward or Jacob leap into action and save her.
3. The camera shows how much Edward cares about Bella because his eyebrows stick out and his lips look extra pouty.
4. The camera shows how much Jacob cares about Bella because his eyebrows stick out and his lips look extra pouty.
5. Go back to #1 and do it all over again.
Bella’s Dad eventually grounds her for the rest of her life. That makes him the most sensible character, although it has not escaped my notice that I’m not really supposed to see him that way.
The human-to-animal transformations are mildly intriguing, but the entire film franchise has been built around just those, and not cleverly. There are no explosions. Bella never shows her tits or anything else. Well Jacob manages to lose articles of clothing all over the place. Nobody else does.
I am absolutely flabbergasted at how many of the Things I Never Want To See In Movies Ever Again that this bit of effluence managed to hit. I’m thinking perhaps I made a mistake putting it up. Someone must have seen it. I first became aware of it when they nonchalantly snagged #38. They hit #1, #2, half of #3, they probably had #8 and I missed it, and #9…oh, it was one long lurk-fest of #9.
This is a form of pollution, that’s what it is.
Attention all high-drama people: Could you please cease and desist from watching movies for as many years as it takes for the movies to not be custom-made for your own personal amusement anymore. It would be much appreciated. Thank you.
