Marty's Movie Reviews #23
Aug. 27th, 2005 03:53 pmWedding Crashers: Not bad, but not too good either. Sorta formulaic and pedestrian. Didn't really hold my attention.
Eraserhead: Weird. Fucking weird. Think of the weirdest weird thing you can think of, and this movie was so far beyond weirder than that that the light from it will take a million years to reach weird.
The 40 Year Old Virgin: Good, but not "teh best movie EVAR!!!1!11!!". The chick in the trailers has barely a few minutes onscreen.
Battlestar Galactica: Not a movie, but seriously one of the best tv shows evar plz. Why? IMO because it actually *is* a series. Way back in the day, it was stuff like twilight zone, anthologies and such. Then came Star Trek, and omg the same characters every week! Nice try, but each week's adventure was pretty much entirely seperate and stood alone from the others. That's not a series. Little steps were taken sometimes, when someone had the audacity to reference previous events as if they had an effect outside themselves. The X-files had a "mythology" that ran through and glued everything together, but not until Galactica did we get a true sci-fi series. And that's what makes it so good. Every episode flows into the next, and out of the previous. There's no vacuum, except that of space itself.
