Movies Waste My Precious Time


There seems to be a constant flow of bad movies coming out. Now I understand that movie trailers can be decieving and films that look bad are sometimes good. Not usually though. I can tell by those 30 second ads if a movie is going to be a piece of crap or not. Movies are something that I was always picky about. If I'm supposed to waste an hour and a half or longer of my life to watch a movie then it had better be good.

Nowadays, as us older folk like to say, a majority of the films being made are either remakes of older films or musicals. The remakes are always ones of movies that didn't do so well in the first place but some idiot decided to give it another shot with younger actors and a modern twist to the storyline. Yeah, that'll be good. As far as musicals go, well, they musn't even want us straight males to go to the theater anymore. The idea of a movie with overly dramatic songs set to a idiotic storyline isn't appealing to most people. What's that? It is? Oh well.

I saw a trailer today for a military movie called Annapolis that almost made me loose my Ramen Noodles. First off, I never knew that Tyrese Gibson was an actor let alone that he had a last name. I also see that he is an R&B singer as well. Anyway, in this trailer a woman's voice says "Why are you so hard on him?" (speaking about one of the military underlings) and the general says "Because I believe in him." Well what I believe is that if you look up trite in the dictionary a soundclip from this film is played. Whoever looks at previews for garbage like this and thinks "I gotta see that." should be slowly dipped, toes first, into a vat of boiling monkey semen.
