What MOVIE(s) have you been....seeing? watching?
Nice shots, but not nearly enough of those. No worldbuilding, which is the core of that episode in the lives of the two space-time Agents. So no surprises, Besson doing his mindless thing in great visual style.
We came prepared, brought a flask of single malt and had a great time.

i hope your procedure goes smoothly. If they find any dead-ends, it hurts a bit. People crap all over that procedure but there's nothing worse than the 24 hours before it when you can't eat and are drinking that horrible stuff and crapping your brains out. Plus, the post-op room where everyone is farting in symphony is really funny.
hope it went well!

Well, I watched Ghost in the Shell.
That movie has me completely flummoxed. I don't know if I ever felt so completely indifferent to a movie in my entire life. It played out, I watched the whole thing, but I do not believe I had a twinkle of a feeling through the whole thing, beyond thinking about how damn pretty Scarlett Johansson is. But even that was sterile.
Here's the thing, I actually think the film totally works as a GITS film. ESPECIALLY visually. Some of that stuff was STRAIGHT out of the original film and comics. There were scenes and images that were like 1:1. Regardless of her whiteness, she looked EXACTLY like the Major and you could really tell that she had studied the anime and really wanted to accurately portray specific things like how she stands and how she reacts. I didn't know it was humanly possible for an actor to do that weird, very very slight twitch thing that anime characters sometimes do accompanied by a barely audible grunt.
But it just...sort of happened before my eyes. When it was over I just sort of said "how about that" and promptly erased most of the movie from my mind.
It was just all completely soulless and clinical, I guess that was what the deal was.

I was able to drink about 3/4 of the Magnesium sulfate/Potassium stuff. I had no complaints. the doctor, I found out, does about 30 of these 20 minute explorations a day. So ten hours of butt-cam piloting.
Passengers, obviously, could have been much more interesting. Like if the bartender android was actually a puppet for the ship's AI, and was responsible for waking Chris Pratt to begin with.

They gave me Propofol, Michael Jackson's drug of choice. The nurse told me it would make me feel great, but I just fell asleep and woke up. It's one of the few chances I have to get high without going to hell and I was denied any free ride.

I had no idea this movie was that bad. I'm so glad I didn't see it in theaters.

I saw Aliens vs. Predators on cable. Imagine a SyFy channel movie but with a modest budget. Poor Lance Henricksen...

X-Men: Apocalypse - my daughter thought it was the awesomest movie ever, but then she thinks Star Wars 1-3 are good. I've failed as a parent.
