Thread: DK Mode says KICK ASS is the most entertaining comic-book movie he has ever
seen!
Started 4 weeks, 1 day ago by aintitcool.com
Hey folks, Harry here with a reader review from tonight's Arclight Test Screening of KICKASS in LaLaLand. And it seems like our reader friend in London - the film has similarly kicked another of your asses. Time is going to stretch till we see this. At least it already feels that way to me.
Hi Harry,
I just got back from the Arclight Screening of "Kick-Ass." I'll make ...
If there's a fucking 10 year
old girl assassin? This
makes NO FUCKING SENSE.
And this is why, ultimately, I
have very little desire to see
this film. The initial idea of
a kid trying to be a hero,
dressing up in spandex, and
getting the shit kicked out of
him was a GREAT idea.
Throwing in super-villains and
super-assassin girls is just
fucking stupid in my opinion.
certainly not Spiderman 2 or
The Dark Knight. Especially
Spiderman 2 was boring as
hell. I'll take the original
Batman (Burton's) or Superman
every day of the week. I'm not
saying this to piss everybody
off, that's just my opinion.
At least superhero movies were
still 'fresh' in those times.
Batman Begins was better and
that was lacking, but at least
it had proper story structure
but Bale's stoic and often
sterile performance left the
film cold. That said, although
it was cold, it was at least
more warm, emotionally
speaking, than TDK at every
turn.
I am not sure, being a mid-40s screenwriter working for the industry, whether my opinion would be accepted in this forum... if it is alright I would like to offer my observations.
Even with the accolades bewtown upon them, there's still jackasses who think those mvoies are bad Batmna movies, or boring movies, or bad action movie, or that Nolan can't direct action and bullshit like this. And they aren't that few. Ego, underrated. My point, Nolan's Batman movies SHOULD and DESERVES even more accolades then it already has. Until then, underrated. And i love the way TDK mannaged to be so violent and yet...
You're right, we get a lot of Porto and Madeira... while Porto has a following here, Madeira is sadly under-appreciated. I have a 1969 from Olivares that is stunning. We get wines from Alentejo, yes, but the best still (not fortified) wines we're getting, by and large, is from the Douro. Lovely stuff available from the Dao, too... although all of it is probably a far cry from what you can get there. I keep waiting for Portugal to...
Paper currency is untraceable and allows for immediate liquidation in case of an emergency, like being thrown in the hoosegow or damn dirty crusading attorneys.
