Marty's Movie Reviews #23

[loosechanj]

Wedding 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.

BG == Geek crack. I think it is one of the best TV series I have ever seen.

For precisely the reasons I mentioned. I never watched Babylon 5, but I understand it was similar.

BG2004 was fun to watch. It was only that the conclusion sucked. (And it was too short.)

Oh, and I think you'd enjoy B5, just make sure to skip season 5, where the script-writers started to wank off in a way you actually notice their dicks fell off.

Have you seen any of season 2?

Not many people have seen Eraserhead.

You should be lucky you have seen it.
On a side note:
WHY WAS THE CHICKEN BLEEDING AND WTF IS UP WITH THAT KID?

God bless bittorrent. Obviously the cornish hen was bleeding because the people were too stupid to buy them and just picked them up out of the field without bothering to slaughter them properly. And the baby was just one of those gigantic sperm which had grown and grown. What I wanna know is wtf was with the dancing chick's cheeks.

She started to have a conniption fit and the only thing that would calm her is the brushing of her hair.


I know you loved that.


Now you will watch Gozu
