This segment is to try and prove to people that I don’t only watch horseshit, non-mainstream movies and that I’m not totally insane. LOL
*INDIRECT SPOILERS IN HERE*
ME: What did you think about that?
MRS. THE IPC: It wasn’t as awesome as I thought it would be.
ME: (pause)
ME: Not really, I suppose.
MRS. THE IPC: Some of it just didn’t work.
ME: Like Jodie Foster playing a French woman who speaks in English?
MRS THE IPC: And why did they speak Spanish half the time and English the rest?
MRS. THE IPC: Matt Damon was good though.
MRS. THE IPC: What did you think?
ME: EH – it was OK… I thought the whole Kruger character was dumb and REALLY??? They blew half of that guy’s head off and can revive him but not the other guy?
MRS. THE IPC: Well that was to establish you had to have brain power left.
ME: I know – but they’re trying to tell me that the guy with half a head still had brain energy after what was probably 30 or 40 minutes of real time?? He had half a brain! I’m not buying it.
MRS. THE IPC: (LOL)
ME: And when they revived him they revived him with that stupid beard??
ME: And a feathered haircut???
MRS. THE IPC: (LOL)
ME: And also – in the future and there’s all of this technology and guns and weapons and shit and his favorite weapon is a fucking Samurai sword?? I don’t think so.
MRS. THE IPC: Are you going to write about it?
ME: Probably just the “Quickie” thing. There are already a bunch of people putting stuff out about it who are going to do a better job than I would. More passionate.
ME: The special effects were fucking incredible though!
MRS. THE IPC: They sure were….
ME: Oh well, it was worth going to see it in the theaters though.
MRS. THE IPC: I lub.
ME: I lub u!
LOL, these always get me. As for Elysium…I enjoyed, but yeah, could have been better. Sharlto Copley was phenomenal, regardless if he’s missing half a head. For what it is, It was cool. Great write-up!

HA HA – : )
For some reason he just didn’t work for me in this one – and I like the guy a lot. Maybe I just didn’t buy him as a ferocious killing machine. Oh well – still worth seeing in the theater. I assume you’ll be putting something out about it if you haven’t already? (I’m behind, spent the weekend putting together some special live action treats for you for shitfest fall : ) )

I intend to do more – there hasn’t been much to watch lately so we’ve been watching this TV show called “Justified”. It’s pretty good : )

Isn’t that the show with that dude from Hitman in it? Haven’t really sat down to watch it but I know my husband’s watch it a little bit.
LikeLike
It is – his name is Timothy Olyphant and he’s one of my favorite actors. Have you ever heard of a show called Deadwood? I’ve been hooked on it for almost two straight weeks (and this is my third time watching the series). Deadwood is very R-rated from HBO. Justified is very PG-13 from F/X Network.
LikeLike
that’s right, that’s the guy’s name. I couldn’t remember LOL.
I’ve heard of Deadwood but haven’t watched it. Isn’t it a crying shame that the only thing worth paying to watch HBO for ARE their series… that’s why I quit paying for HBO.
I catch up on this crap eventually, or when you post something and I decide that I have to watch it. Like that Moon movie the other day. Still working on that one ; )
LikeLike
Deadwood, Carnivale and Game of Thrones are worth the cost for HBO and HBOGO… I have a post I need to finish about Deadwood season 1 coming out soon. It’s a late 1800s western so it might not be what you want, but it’s really, really good. I watch those three shows a lot.

hahah this is great. I also disagree about the quality of Sharlo Copley’s character, but to each his own. This movie certainly let me down in spots — so in that sense, yes this movie disappointed me. It honestly looked P-E-R-F-E-C-T in the trailers, but then again– that’s the trailer’s job! lol. I liked it a lot, forgave a lot of its’ imperfections, although I couldn’t get over Jodie Foster’s shit character. Total disappointment there.
LikeLike
Jodie sucked and I really like her. Glad you liked it so much – I guess I was expecting something… “more”. I don’t know. Something about the heavily tattooed, filthy gangsters being super hackers also bothered me a little. Not sure why.
One thing’s for sure – this guy and his special effects team have set the bar for ghetto and robots effects.

…The family Severance saw this at the drive-in last night (with 2 Guns)
Lemuel: 2 Guns had some bad press – but I thought Denzel and Marky would be kinda’ fun at least – but nope
The Professor: Elysium wasn’t that good either
The Teenager: Not the best Matt Damon movie – but I liked it.
Lemuel: It really was just a straight up action movie – and in that sense I guess it worked – as long as you didn’t need anything ‘deep’
The Professor: Loved that drive-in though
The Teenager: Yep!
Lemuel: we’ll be back soon
