I'm hot for Denise, I won't lie.

So late-ish last night I just got in a mood like, I want to turn off my brain and watch something.

Lo and behold - I found the 2nd Amazing Spiderman movie (from the reboot with Andrew Garfield, Emma Stone et al).

I thought, that sounds just about perfect. Spiderman, Iron Man, Batman - any old nonsense like that. Star Trek ---> kinda the same category. I recently saw Watchmen. That did the job to a "T".

I tell you what tho. This is not getting the job done. It's pretty awful. I watched about an hour then went to bed. Now, I don't know that I will finish it.

They kinda took that gigantic budget and fucked it up.
 
I watched Coherence, knowing nothing about it.

Considering that it was shot in 5 days with no script in the director's house, it's remarkably good. I generally hate movies with improvised dialogue, and I did find the dialogue a bit annoying in Coherence, but I still enjoyed the movie.

I won't give away much of the concept, but it's a no-budget sci-fi that plays with the many-worlds view of quantum mechanics. The actual mechanism that leads to the craziness is eye-rollingly bad, scientifically speaking, but I'll give it a pass. There are some truly unsettling moments.

Worth a look if you like this sort of thing.

Big Eyes

ATTENTION, COUGAR: female lead is big into Numerology.

After a horrific first 25 minutes this film picks up.

Awful Danny Elfman film score.

Overall good acting. Amy Adams looks surprisingly not sexy (IMO Wally).


6.75 Trons.

Saw preview for Jauquin Phoenix film that opens in 11 months.


Looks phenomenal
 
Downton Abbey's gone to shit. It's just repeating itself, putting the same characters in the exact same situations over and over.

Daisy is still trying to better herself.
Thomas is still on the verge of being fired.
Anna and Bates are still in BIG trouble.
Dinner is still being served.

Common. Fok shit up a little bit.
