What is the latest movie you watched and what did you think of it?

Ooh, the Shetlands!
That's where the famous wool bearing miniature ponies come from, right?

Yesterday I saw Kill The Irishman. The story is not bad, maybe too many explosions. It's a bit boring

You know I gave the exact same review to The Informant! and people that were unaware of the exclamation mark in the title just thought that I really, really liked the movie.
Same sort of thing basically fucked up my attempted trashing of Moulin Rouge! though.

But think of the amount of effort that was saved by simply typing the movie title without even blessing us with a thought as to it's worth. It took exactly 10 keystrokes to complete that post and then on to the next one somewhere else on the board, he probably won't even need a snack after that effort.

X-Men: First Class- Many mutants, some stock Cold War era Russkis and Kevin Bacon. Oh, and that weenie from Wanted.

Movies like this aren't aimed at me.
I am not particularly attracted to movies like this.

Good, now that's out of the way, let's trash this bitch.

So, as I understand it, nuclear testing has somehow accelerated human evolution, evidenced by the growing number of weirdly mutated people hiding amongst the population.
The mutants long to be "normal" and just fit in.
It is hard to be a special snowflake, especially a scaly blue one.

It must be really difficult to be an outsider stigmatized by a ridiculous power, which is basically how these folk are afflicted.
Let's see, one guy can fly but only whilst screaming.
One guy has hands for feet but he's also really smart, ultimately he turns into a wolf/creature (and presumably leaves to pursue Bella).
One girl is literally Tinkerbell and can spit little fireballs (a trick that Disney totally missed...).

All of these skills are absolutely useless and frankly, a little embarrassing.

That's OK though because First Class also features a healthy dose of monomania, which is a trait absolutely integral to a "superhero" mythos.
Super/mutant folk are really terrible at multitasking, only one thing (World Domination!) animates your average tainted mutant and this singular focus makes for cardboard characters with an odd penchant for silly names ("Don't call me Eric, I prefer MAGNETO!" Really? Magneto? What are you, three?) and burlesque costumes (where is Tim Gunn when you really need him?).

There was a lot of strident music to alert me of impending CGI-gasms, which I found useful so I could preemptively shut down higher brain functions and enjoy the (rather weak) computer generated spectacle with my lower brain stem.
My lower brain rates First Class a solid 5/10.

My upper brain can't remember a single thing about the movie and thus feels unable to provide a rating at this time.

It is a little known culinary fact that lower brain stems are actually quite tasty. You just have to remember that they get very chewy, so you need to marinade them in a high-concentration of Hollywood for at least 2 hours before cooking. Done properly, they come out as soft and flavorful as bone marrow.

That's really good to know, so thanks for sharing.

Totally disgusting, too.

No problem, clocker. It's from an old recipe given to me by a zombie friend of mine.
