“I always believe the movies I've made are smarter than the way they are perceived by sort of mass culture and by the critics,” Snyder said, a statement he immediately followed by saying, “Also, ‘It looks like a video game.’
I recently saw Crash by Cronenberg (don't mix it up with the 2004 film by the same title, it has nothing to do with the cronenberg film)
It's about these people who find a fetish in causing car crashes and consequently getting crippled. this film is pretty messed up and in many way repulsive, but the characters and their actions are also very very thrilling and exciting.
a haunting and very cold but sensual movie. oh and by the way, if you think of watching it, do not watch the trailer! the trailer is totally misleading.
Yesterday I saw Pandorum. It's about humans in a spaceship trying to get to a planet similar to earth called Tanis. But the ship's power was running low and there were some kind of aliens in the ship that weren't too friendly and the main guy had to go change the ship's reactor or whatever, and he ends up rescuing humanity or whatever.
It was fine, pretty confusing but still okay. I'd give it a 6½ out of 10.
I finally saw Indiana Jones and the Crystal Skull. It was much better than I was expecting; pretty reasonable, over all. I'd rate it as better than Temple of Doom.

Just saw Psycho Shark, and it was probably one of the most boring movies I have ever seen. Such a waste of a title. Half the movie was just women in bikinis playing in the water, and a third of that was the same footage repeated since the main characters are filming themselves playing around. A shark shows up a couple times, but one was a dream sequence, and the second time was at the very end, and was the size of a whale, and in slow motion.
Now, for those of you too lazy to watch that past the first whinely inklings of that fucking family movie violin shit at the start there, please allow me to outline this fucking atrocity of a film:
-The writer/director is named Wilson, the main character boy is named Willy
-It was literally the most mind bogglingly cliche Family Film I've ever seen. The second, the fucking second you see Gooby in his gestative teddy bear form, you know how it's going to fucking end.
-Gooby is...There is so much wrong with Gooby's design. It's ugly, disgusting, unnecessarily Scottish, toxic waste earwax-shit ornage, (or rather brilliant neon shitsmear brown and tan) and is just generally fucking shitty to look at. He's stupid. The stupidest character.
Back to his roots in the drunken ugly fog of Scotland, Gooby has an absolutely grating and fucking catastrophic voice that crembulates through the brain and makes vast armies burst into flames. I hate Scottish accents. My dad always tried to emulate that obscene Austin Powers shite in his own vile horror-bloat of a voice, and they never, never never sound good from non-live actors, so it was just a duality of hateable audio. Fuck Gooby's fractal sound-brick of a voice. Ugh.
Oh, and there's a needlessly English maid who just disa-fucking-ppears halway through and returns, asleep, like, fifteen minutes to the end. My ass.
