Movie Discussion 7/5/10

[Rubyn]

Juror, why do any of us hate on anybody? Really we should all just love each other.

Fuh real

Know what I'm sayin

Mr. X loved Kick Ass so much (we watched it last night), he's watching it again with Reno Cool today. I agree, but I rarely watch movies more than once, especially less than 24 hours after I watched it for the first time. I bet when he's done he will be able to quote all of the dialogue and recognize none of the characters out of context.

I was so disappointed in Hot Tub Time Machine. I had high hopes. It had some moments, but not many.

The Violater reminded me of Bread a little.

Smetimes Mr.x

I'm ok with violence if it is either based on a true story or is essential to portray something important.

Kick Ass violence is totally pointless, and only shows what a fucked up society we live in. One where a 6 year old killing a hundred people (in a context of a bogus storyline) is considered cute.

Too bad, because the movie had some interesting themes to start with. But major fail in terms of working the themes out in a creative or believable way.

Bogus storyline? You know it was based on a comic book right? I don't think they were going for realism.

And she was 11! Geesh, get your facts straight pal.

I thought the movie was pretty creative? Why do you think not?

 

[reno cool]

how not creative?
The "bad guys" were typical clowns. No real real reasoning presented for their actions. Typical bogus theme of one hero taking on 100. She gets stopped by the only guy with no gun leading the way for Kick Ass to play his part.
The last half hour of the movie I could've told you exactly what was going to happen.(aside from the pure viscous nature of the killings). What a surprise? The old guy dies and the two kids get saved in an unlikely manner.

I can give you a list of all the shitty, unbelievable, cliches and shortcuts that fills this movie. But what's the point?
