On movies. And beards.

I'm going to write a bit about movies, because I'm bored and I don't have anyone to rant at.
I watched Get Rich or Die Tryin' yesterday, because a friend told me it was pretty good a while back.
This is not a phrase I use regularly, but Jesus Fucking Christ did it suck!
I was expecting something similar to 8 Mile, a movie that I actually liked, but damn. Throughout the entire movie, I was waiting for him to learn to sing properly, or at least write proper lyrics, but no. The lyrics are just as horrible when he's 12 as when he's grown up. And that's just one of the problems. I checked on IMDB, and, apparently, it's worth 3.5 stars. I really can't see why, there are just no good things about this movie. At all.
Moving on:

SAW IV.
I want it. Gief.

I watched Kiss of Death the other day. Cage is, as always, badass and awesome. Only this time he's got a beard as well. It also had Samuel L. Motherfucking Jackson, and the main character's last name is "Kilmartin". I rest my case.

8MM was good, Cage again. Less badass, less beard, more morality. Better movie, all in all. Peter Stormare had a beard this time. It's all good.

Saw Casino the other day as well, haven't seen that one since I was 11 or so. Robert De Niro and Joe Pesci, both awesome. No good beards, though.

I've suddenly decided to stop boring people with whatever movies I've seen recently.
I should go buy stamps, but that's about as fun as listening to 50 cent, only it takes longer. And the weather is boring. Bah. I updated the Video of the Now, but apparently it lags a bit. Nevermind, the song is still good.
And that, my friends, is the end of the news.

EDIT: Ok, never mind that I decided to stop boring people, I have Got to post this. This is Important. It is also rather spoiler-heavy, not that anyone should care.
I have just seen the hands down Manliest movie have ever seen. Possibly the manliest movie in all of human history. The title is manly: Shoot 'Em Up. The main plot is about guns. It has awesome one-liners. The main character doesn't even have a real name, he just calls himself Smith. He kills people with carrots. He shoots people. He shoots people, using carrots. He even shoots a guy five times, without even using a gun. He keeps telling everyone what he really hates. He crashes cars, he beats people up, he jumps from bridges and airplanes, he creates makeshift traps of death, and he delivers a baby while shooting people, and telling the mother that he hates guys in ponytails.
I am in awe. I didn't realize it was possible to create something this manly.
Go see it. Right now. No, you don't have a valid excuse, just go.

I haven't seen any of those... And I don't usually judge movies because of the beards in them. =P

Well, you should watch 8MM if you're not too bothered by fake snuff, and Saw IV speaks for itself in my book ;)

Nallenon said...

Oh, and I usually don't do that either, but those two usually don't have beards. And you shouldn't underestimate the power of a good beard.

Manlyness is overrated. But so is humanity, so fuck everything and let's watch it :D

Nallenon said...

Manliness is overrated in moderation. Trust me. In this amount if excess, it's just not.
I think you have to see the movie to get my point with this. Everyone have to watch this movie. When I come to power, I'm going to make it a rule.

I haven't seen either of those movies, but I agree that Shoot 'Em Up seems good. I'm not so hot on Saw, though - methinks that movie series kind of lost much of the point beyond the first movie.

Nallenon said...

I'm actually not really sure if I agree with you there, to be honest. The most interesting part about the Saw-series is that they were the first, and so far only movies, to have any kind of serious effect on me, something I find very interesting, and I want to see all of them to see if they can keep that up. Not to say that I don't like the movies as a whole, but there are better movies in other areas.
