They resort to featuring Robert Downey Jr., AKA: Tony Stark (Iron Man) in the opening scene to create the illusion that he plays a big role in the film, when really he is in it for about 30 seconds. And also to pretend (lie to the audience) that this film has any value whatsoever, when it would be a better use of your time to simply punch yourself in the face and then flush ten dollars down the toilet….What a joke.
Will Hollywood stop destroying classics, please! The new IronMan film was not half bad, (thanks to John Favro), but these other remakes have no excuse. You overpaid morons should be ashamed of yourselves.
PS – I like the quote about how New York being the “most aggressive city in the world” as if it means anything. Terrible.
There are many decisions in life that some consider brave, such as skydiving, rock climbing, or bungee jumping, but I personally believe that the bravest decision a human being can make in life is marriage. Here are some reasons why I respect any soul who jumps into the “I do” situation:
1. Divorce rates seem to be approaching the 50% mark these days, so you’re truly living on the edge with this gamble.
2. All of the people I’ve met in life (including friends and family) are divorced or were divorced at some point…OR come from a divorced family. Think about it.
3. I can barely take care of myself, so I can’t imagine taking care of someone else for the next few decades….. (Well at least I admit it)
4. People getting married realize that they will lose all sense of fashion or even get dressed by their spouse.
5. Getting married means you often start shopping at places you would not regularly be seen dead in and you say really stupid stuff like “oh, that’s our favorite restaurant”.
6. You now have to answer to someone else when you want to go anywhere or see your friends or do anything at all. WHAT IS THAT?
7. You have another routine on top of the normal routine that you have worked all your pointless life to master.
8. Forever is a long time. (Use your imagination on this one)
In Summary: Good luck. But seriously kids, as sarcastic as it comes across, I do wish you the best. You are the bravest person on the planet if you get married, so never forget that.
For individuals like Vin Diesel, Ben Affleck, Paul Walker, Tom Cruise, Nicholas Cage, Angelina Jolie, and the rest of the ridiculous VIP list who claim to be “actors”, my question is this: Are these people serious? Are they joking when they appear in public and wave to audiences while blaring their corny smiles and arrogant walks in their designer uniforms? (don’t call me a hater damnit) But do they whole heartedly believe in their own hype, and as in hook, line, and sinker? Or do they just do it for show? Please tell me it is just for show, please.
And when they are interviewed talking about their latest “film” (translation: terrible and unoriginal remake) that they do simply for the money, which I can’t blame them for, are they actually serious about saying the new project is exciting and the greatest thing ever? Do they actually think these films are quality? Are they serious when comparing these new crap films to the old classics such as The GodFather, Casablanca, StarWars, Citizen Cane, or the several Kubrik (RIP) masterpieces that had surfaced throughout the past decades?
Someone please tell me…ARE THEY BEING SERIOUS? Has Hollywood finally lost its mind for good? These “stars” are more of a joke than any other group of celebrities on the globe, and to add insult to injury, they claim to know what is best for the world. Hell, some of them are even involved with the U.N. (unfortunately that was probably one of the better moves the U.N. has made this century). But I digress; I just want to meet one of these people behind the scenes, with no cameras, no video, and just ask them… ARE YOU SERIOUS?
I won’t mind if they are just pretending. Sometimes I pretend. I know I am nothing…do they realize that deep down they are nothing too?
Are you sick of being average and always fitting in with the rest of this boring society? Try these tips on for size the next time you’re in public and you’ll be sure to start getting some attention….finally. Oh, and it’s only funny if you do these things with a serious face as if there is nothing wrong.
1. Wear tighty whitey underwear on the outside of your pants (I don’t mean just guys, girls too)
2. When strolling down the street, put a dog harness on a wild rabbit & walk it around town. (make sure you have a dead serious face of course)
3. When pumping gas, jump on the hood of your car and start doing the robot while simultaneously yelling out the amount of gallons that you’ve paid for.
4. When your co-workers ask you a question, just respond by hissing back at them like a cat.
5. Wear a giant watch on your forehead with a sticker of your face on it.
What is the deal with these ridiculous scenes in the new Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull film, where Spielberg/Lucas feature computer animated gophers? (Okay they are actually Prairie Dogs, but you get the point) I wasn’t sure if I was watching Caddy Shack 4 or Indiana Jones 4. Are these “professional” film makers serious with this nonsense? Is there not one classic film that Hollywood will not destroy with this corny Jar-Jar Binks-esque garbage? I have two words for you: El Terrible.
Below is an image from the beginning scene of Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull (as the Paramount Mountain Logo transforms into this CGI Gopher). And not to spoil the film, but the gophers have absolutely nothing to do with the plot line or story. What a joke.
