My husband gave me a really confused look when I laughed and said "CHRISTOPHER NOLAN BLEW YOU!

Ah, the first glimpse of Pemberly through the trees. The horse's clopping feet slows to a stop...

And then minutes later: A (still young) Colin Firth climbs out of that lake in a wet shirt...

Love that movie!

I went to see... what was it...




Oh yeah! The Olympus Has Fallen movie.


It had some fun moments, but most of it seemed a bit insulting.

Because?

Did the thought of a young Colin Firth in a wet shirt break your concentration? ROFL !!! My favorite role for him will ALWAYS be "Valmont" - long hair in a pony tail, so smoothly manipulative with the ladies.

I’m having a hard time thinking about ANYTHING but the wet shirt!


So many scenes in Olympus Has Fallen were identifiable from other TV shows and movies that it was distracting. I mean the screen was full of actors I like doing their job well, but it still seemed like a parody. As if someone had taken pages from screenplays and changed the names as a prank, but then someone else didn’t get the joke and actually made the movie.

The other big problem for me was that the plot hinged on every person in the movie except the hero and the kid being incompetent. That was the other part that I found insulting. The Secretary of Defense had one good line, but other than that it seemed that whoever wrote the movie had never met anyone who held a position of authority. I mean in scene after scene featuring supposed government leaders I kept thinking, the secretary of our PTA has bigger balls than that.

The last thing, and this is picky but it was bad enough to mention, the music was overdone. It was one of those scores that assumes the viewer can’t recognize a moment happening so they need intrusive music to tell them: This is a sad part. This is a tense part. This is a part where people are running.

Also they missed a real opportunity in the plot. There was one very obvious way for the bad guys to win quite early in the movie. They had all the information they needed, and the hero even seemed to anticipate that they might do it. But then they didn’t and it was never mentioned again. But I guess that falls under my Everyone But The Hero Is An Idiot complaint.

Anyway it was still entertaining. The actors were fun to watch, Gerard Butler is a hottie, and I could listen to Morgan Freeman all day. But I still would rather have watched something else.

Just the shirt?


This shirt is dry, but it is still on Colin (a much younger Colin):

Sounds like the Red Dawn remake then.

Fun idea with poor execution. Invasion of the USA should be more interesting. I really dislike how basically everyone just gives up aside from a very small group of kids.

The looney toons show...

I'm so immature

Can't wait! Hugh Jackman is back!

GAAAAAHHHHH!!!!

I just watched Airplane! again. I love that film so damn much...

"The hospital called? What is it?"

"It's a large building with patients, but that isn't important right now."

"Surely you don't mean that."

"Don't call me Shirley!"

Drake & Josh. Ah....good memories

Stranger than nature.

"Johnny, what do you make of this?"

"Oooh, a hat? A brooch? A pterodactyl?"

Ned's Declassified School Survival Guide.
