Slowly Learning...

I have seen both Superbad and Stardust, but those reviews will have to wait for another day. Tonight I just want to share with you two movie related experiences I had at Superbad.

First off, I went with my mother (strange enough for a movie like that), but there was also this 80 year old lady sitting two rows in front of us. Did she realize what she was seeing? I'm thinking not, and that she was just looking for a cool shady place to rest. But onto the events.

1 - I'm sitting there, waiting for my mom, watching the trailers. First up was this ridiculous looking movie about dragons attacking our cities. Now this movie looked just plain bad, but the best part was the end of the trailer, when the title popped up (in that deep movie voice): "DRAGON WARS!" At that moment the two people sitting behind me just couldn't contain it any longer and burst out laughing. And naturally, I had to join in. That is quite possibly the stupidest sounding title since Snakes on a Plane, except those people knew their title was ridiculous (hence the point). Seriously people, if that is the best you can do for the title of the film, I can only imagine what the script is like.

2 - Another trailer (this time my mother was there), this time for the new Resident Evil movie (why do they keep making these?). As we were watching Milla Jovovich run around a barren wasteland. I'm not sure how far into the future this is supposed to be, but would Vegas really be that rundown and engulfed by the desert in what appears to be such a short time? And when will people learn that video games never make good movies. Add to that the fact that the third installment of just about any series has been terrible, and you have a major recipe for disaster here. But I regress. So we're sitting there, watching the preview for this "action packed" film when my mom lets out the biggest yawn I have ever heard. Now I'm sure it wasn't intentional, but it was perfect.
