Yeah so this Aliens in the Attic movie is coming out Friday and it looks like it could be the next big thing. From the preview I saw it looked like the exact same plot as that Beethoven movie where they had to hide all of Beethoven's puppies from Charles Grodin! It looks like a winner. I predict 200 million dollars on opening day and massive sales for the XBox tie in video game!
Speaking of movies I finally got around to watching the German movie The Lives of Others. What I mean by finally seeing the Lives of Others is that by looking at my netflix page I have had this movie in my possession sine 2/10/09. It only took me something like five months to watch this movie.
Anyways I have to say that it was a pretty good flick. It took place in East Germany before the wall came down. Basically an author was put under surveillance because he was suspected of having allegiances to West Germany but the individual who is in charge of running the operation later discovers that the reason this project got the go ahead was because a minister wanted to bone his wife. I implore you to see this movie.
Whenever I watch a movie I like to read about it on various venues on the internet and I found a web page that list the 25 Best Conservative movies of all time. Its a pretty laughable list that has some real shitty movies on it but number one is The Lives of Others. The number five movie on this list is one of the worst movies I have seen the last couple years; the movie 300.
Jeez did I hate that movie. If it didn't have all of those scenes that were filmed in slow motion the movie would have been shorter than sex with me. IF you took a sip of beer every time someone declared the were from "SPARTA" you would probably be drunker than Billy Joel on his daughters sleepover night. For some reason the Persians were only interested in having crazy amputee lesbian sex. I could probably go on but I just hated how the movie romanticized the overzealous form of nationalism that was predominant in the movie and actively encouraged in a countries citizens.
Here is what this website says about this movie 300:
"During the Bush years, Hollywood neglected the heroism of American soldiers in Iraq and Afghanistan — but it did release this action film about martial honor, unflinching courage, and the oft-ignored truth that freedom isn’t free. Beneath a layer of egregious non-history — including goblin-like creatures that belong in a fantasy epic — is a stylized story about the ancient battle of Thermopylae and the Spartan defense of the West’s fledgling institutions. It contrasts a small band of Spartans, motivated by their convictions and a commitment to the law, with a Persian horde that is driven forward by whips. In the words recorded by the real-life Herodotus: “Law is their master, which they fear more than your men[, Xerxes,] fear you.”"
Wow how stupid could you get? First off all how free was Sparta? If I remember correctly you could not be considered a citizen of Sparta unless they could trace your family lineage back to see if you were one of the original inhabitants of the city. Oh and how free can a city be considered if instead of raising all children they threw the undesirable kids off some hill so they could die.
I really hated this fascist movie. Not as much as proofreading. I didn't do any.
