Pulp Fiction is possibly the greatest movie of all time. I've seen it so many times, it hurts!
When I saw the previews of The Village, I thought it was going to be great. My wife and I went to see it. We were so pissed off by that waste of film that we now refuse to watch any more M. Knight Shamalamadingdong's movies. Every one of his movies suck. Signs sucked. The Village sucked. I don't know who keeps paying that dork to make more movies.
I don't get summer movies for the most part. You basically have two choices for summer movies now... You can watch the latest, greatest movie based on a cartoon that's based on a comic book character. These movies are great if you're 5 years old. The problem with these movies is that most of the kids out there have never even read a comic book, so the movies are really for 35 year old guys who still live at home in their parent's basement collecting comic books and fashioning their own super hero costumes out of scraps of old underwear and their mom's torn pantyhose. Why does anybody watch these? Just ask: They have great special effects! Great! Why don't they just show 2 hours of train wrecks or something?
The other choice is the latest action flick made by some ex-football player or pro-wrestler. It's always the same: 2 hours of shit blowing up; maybe a titty or two thrown in for good measure.... but no story line. And, let's not forget.... That movie had GREAT special effects!
There's a third choice that's seemed to develop in the last 5 or so years. It's the Midieval Fantasy Film... You know the one.... If you're into creepy guys who collect swords and play dungeons and dragons, these are the flicks for you! If they don't stop with the Narnia movies and Harry Peter and the Sorcerer's Bone crap, I'm gonna puke! Jeeesus! Wizards and Warlocks and crap... Again, I'm sure there is a whole subset of the American populace that just loves these movies. I'm sure these people also live in basements, except they spend most of their time on Ebay collecting Harry Potter's underwear or the Narnia kid's tooth brush.
What we need is another Clint Eastwood or John Wayne! Manly Movies! Dirty Harry! Charles Bronson! Death Wish! We need more movies like The Godfather and Good Fellas. Stop the Wussification of America! How about some more Robert DeNiro and Joe Pesci?? Anyway, I'm rambling again. Back to work....
