If anyone is looking for a good laugh this morning might I suggest that you take a look at the New York Times review of the film "The Cave". Everytime I see a preview for this movie I am immediately reminded of a commercial where two kids are hiking in a cave or something and they nod at each other knowingly, pull out a couple packs of "Capri Sun", sip from them, then turn into liquid metal flying blobs and fly out of the cave and out into this waterfall inlet area where a bunch of other kids are playing. Now if the characters from the movie had some "Capri Sun" then they could have just turned into liquid metal blobs and flown out of the cave to safety. If this were the case than maybe the movie going public wouldn't have to slap down their hard earned dough to see this film. The filmakers could have saved a lot of time if it were actually just a freaky, escape from giant bats "Capri Sun" commercial.
My favorite part of the review below from the New York Times review by Laura Kern:
"What is left of the plot amounts to guessing who will be killed off next out of the token Asian and African-American guys, the girl in the skimpy outfit, the sexy female scientist with an English accent and the testosterone-pumped combative brothers. Not that it matters much - the characters are so colorless and underdeveloped that their deaths certainly won't be mourned."
But what if it were a "Capri Sun" commercial? Perhaps it would be a bit more exciting and we wouldn't have to worry about the characters because the whole thing would be over in 30 seconds. (I hope "Capri Sun" enjoys the free advertising that they are getting from this.)
And to continue harping on Hollywood. I love it when previews say "here is what critcs are saying about" or that "critics agree", that Blah Blah movie is amazing, a thrill-ride, spine tingling, a joy, a terrific romantic comedy...etc...and all of these things come from one or two critics and that's it....yes I know that two denotes a plural form of critics...and saying "here is what critics are saying about..." or "critics agree" while technically accurate in terms of two critics and the english language...I believe that in actuality there is a little bit of "stretching the truth" going on here.
I am a bit late for this one but I do have to mention the teen choice awards which was broadcast on television what like two weeks ago or something. When I first saw the ads for this (you know the one where they list all of the "stars" that will be speaking, presenting, or performing). I couldn't believe that Andy Dick and Paris Hilton were two of the people who were going to be appearing. Were they up for awards? Were they going to be performing? I don't know about you, but when I think of teenagers and the "Teen Choice Awards" the first things that come to my mind are an overrated coke-head and a whore. What were the producers of this thing thinking? That these two people are role models for teenagers? You would have to be smoking crack to think that this was a good idea...wait...was Andy Dick one of the producers?
Well that's all folks....Have a lovely weekend....
