For the boys of the bored

[Squeamous]

It's worrying; entertainment is being pornified. I haven't seen this film but I imagine it's a lot like Thor: small snippets of instant gratification strung out into a 1.5 hour sequence. It's not just films either, it's life in general. It sometimes feels like life is just becoming a stream of disjointed, random events lasting no more than 30 mins at a time. Or maybe that's just me

I like to think of myself as a movie buff but things have gotten so bad studiowise filmwise that I can't even muster up the enthusiasm to steal any of the new releases off the internet.
Shame to hear about Thor ,I was genuinely looking forward to it as I thought Branagh might the man to add some weight /breathe some life into the Shakespearean tragedy aspects of the story . Of course seeing what Ang Lee did with The Hulk I wasn't holding my breath.

As for Fast Five as one critic pointed out it's greatest sin is trying to be smarter than it is. That and as caper flick castings go Vin Diesel ain't no George Clooney .

Not to worry .Probably just the voices in your head telling you that.

Thanks for that friend x
I was really hoping Thor would be like Beowulf. When I saw Ken Branagh's name come up at the end I was like WTF?? But elsewhere on here it's been said it's meant to be a send-up of the genre....it just didn't seem that witty to me. Maybe it's just so sharp I didn't get it, although I doubt it.
Might just have to go see Fast Five now just to see what the fuss is about.
