I always feel obliged to fill in a new one of these per art 'spurt'. Not too sure why
Anyways, movie season is finishing up, with only a couple more films I'd like to see this year.
District 9 was meh, G.I. JOE was
AMAZING,I guess it reflects my personality eh? (not like anyone would know me

)
I tend to dislike things I can't "enjoy". Where GI JOE was absolutely ridiculous, keeping me and my friends howling with laughter for the
entire thing (club music at the end... whattttt), District 9 however(same group of friends), we kinda just, walked out. I guess it was trying to be thought provoking, but on the whole it came across as trying too hard. An extremely realistic sci fi, with a unique take on the genre, and an even more unique take on the presentation of it, but comes up short. The characters were human, but I could not care, or connect with them. The pallete was realistic, but extremely boring... (a brown alien in a brown house in a brown wasteland.), the alien tech was cool, but they only use a small portion of it. You see most of the guns
once, then they're gone. The rest of the movie is watching people explode with the laser-lightning-gun-thing. Camera angle changes, man in front gets hit and explodes, repeat. Bo~ring.
But to someone who was more educated on the real world inspirations (which were pretty darn faithfully recreated from what I hear), or even involved in them, I suppose it was a bit more significant.
For me, there just wasn't enough to sink my teeth into. They gave you the gist of it in the trailers, and that's about all that was in the movie. Aliens are here, people can understand them somehow, stuff happens. No real explanation (Which makes it realistic, but not very interesting)
Not saying you shouldn't see the movie (it's unique enough that I would instead suggest watching it), but it wasn't my thing. I like my sci-fi retro and ridiculous. Full of hilarious one-liners and silly hair-dos.
I need to play more Blaz-Blu
