Armageddon

Topic started by Saminasha on Sep 18, 2005 12:25:42 pm

was on last night, and even the wee ones drifted away to experimenting with their juice bottles and teething on coasters...which is to say, this star pimpled behemoth couldnt even appromixate 5 minutes of the the pithiest Simpson episode....which is why I started cracking on it after Liv told Bruce that she done learnt her redneck ways from daddy....

some more questions:

1. why is is assumed that steve buscemi can actually lift any hollywood wreckage from the carcass of its own dross? Is it the teeth? Steve, you are not a miracle worker....stop it!

2. Are Liv’s eyes really that clear and blue? Are they really that blue? Are they really that blue? Are Liv’s eyes really that blue?

3. Are we supposed to understand these characters as ersatz or losers? Ersatz losers?

4. Why, for some godforsaken reason, does Ben Affleck get cast for working class stud roles? This boy is as middle class as Seth Cohen from the OC....who actually believes Ben as a worker after that whole Good Will thing, when it was actually Matt, Robin Williams! and Southie that pulled any of that off?

5. How much in trouble is your movie when Billy Bob Thornton is the prettiest thing onscreen? BIG trouble...

6. Was that a flag waving behind Bruce Willis in that scene. Yessiree Donald, it was.

Nuff Said.

This film was an epic disaster (intended) movie. The whole world is on the edge of annihilation. Will it be saved or not? The only conceiveable saviours come in the form of misfit working class grunts. It’s escapism at it’s finest. If you want character films then watch an arty farty one, there’s plenty of em around. Bruce was great, even though in reality he’s a total shit who hates arabs.

I am sorry, I didn’t pay that close a attention to this movie.

I agree about Ben Affleck. There is something about him...his
cockiness, his dubyah-like smirk, Rico Suave wannabee. Who
knows.
