Dammit to hell. Now I'm going to have to get drunk and watch a film! :lay:

What a lazy piece of shit film. Redeemed slightly by being unintentionally funny.

Transcendence. The critics were actually right this time: totally meh.
People think "queue" is just "q" followed by 4 silent letters.

But those letters are not silent.

They're just waiting their turn.

Enemy. Starring Jake Gyllenhall and Jake Gyllenhall.
Absurdist, metaphysical thriller from a director who wants so badly to be Cronenberg, but honestly should've cut his losses and billed it as a comedy and hoped no one noticed.
A story about a man who finds out he has a perfect double, surprisingly based on a book named The Double, who reacts far too disproportionately and 'freaked out' instead of drawing obvious conclusions (even if these would turn out incorrect) for the benefit of the audience in order to artificially create mystery. There were actions and dialogue on behalf of the twin protagonists which made no sense to me. For instance the first time they meet one asks the other, "Are we brothers?" To which the other just stares back like a sloth. He continues, "Do you have a scar here, on your chest?"
Why would you ask that? Sure it turned out the other guy did have the exact same scar, but even if you wondered if this bloke was your twin, perhaps separated, why would you assume he might have the same scar? When do twins ever share scars or markings?
And that ending...

I hate that kind of shit. You know what bugged me about Transcendence? Johnny Depp's wife (who I swore was Scarlett Johansson until I saw the credits) was talking on the phone in one scene. And she did what characters always do in movies: she hung up without saying goodbye. The person she was talking to said something, she smiled in response, and then she hung up. As if the person on the other end of the line could see her smiling :ddpan:
Now I don't know about you but if someone hangs up on me without saying goodbye, I consider that to be very rude :?

I never hang up on cold calls from call centres without saying "Fuck off". That's quite polite for me...

Honestly, I moved past this quirk a long time ago. It's de riguer in movies. Don't let it bug you.

The Lake House, got bored and confused by the plotline half way through and left my wife to finish it and explain in two minutes what might have taken me two years to figure out.

In the middle of watching Blade Runner. Haven't seen it for a decade at least. I want to hang out in exotic locations with exotic people and drink exotic alcohol. I also want to each strange stuff from asian street vendors in the rain...
