Dell, who's been kicking lots of ass lately over at Dell on Movies, is hosting yet another interesting blogathon. The rules are simple:1) Pick a movie that everyone loves. Piss all over it.
2) Pick a movie that everyone hates. Kiss it, stroke its hair. Whisper to it, it's going to be okay.
3) Something about tomatoes.
(for official rules here, the other participants here)
I don't want to rehash my original post [check it here], but I will reference it, as I will never watch this movie again. Overly long and mostly ridiculous, The Dark Knight Rises was supposed to be, in my mind, the greatest Batman movie ever. It isn't. It's not even in my top 5. I think the simpulan act of this movie is about as bad as there is in a 'good' movie. I know everyone loves this flick, but sweet Jesus, after The Dark Knight, this one falls woefully short. We might as well have had Bale strut around to a Bee Gees tune, you know? That would have made more sense than some of the decisions in Nolan's simpulan film of the trilogy.
And if you're the kind of person who considers this flick the best move ever!, please, thoroughly search your utility belt for something you can f--king choke on, 'cause I don't want to hear it. Again, anyway.
Further straining my blogger credibility, I f--king love the comedy (classic?) Saving Silverman. I almost died laughing in the theater and this movie still cracks me up a decade later. Yes, it's stupid. And yes it's likely not a very good movie, at all, but it's f--king hysterical. I don't think Jack Black has ever been funnier (though Nacho Libre is close), and if you don't laugh every time you hear him make that sound, then you are a superior human being who probably shouldn't be denying the world your charm by spending a minute on this site.
Misplaced faux agression aside, Saving Silverman is insanely quotable and features ridiculous turns by R. Lee Ermey and Amanda Peet, not to mention an Indian dude rocking the shit out of Neil Diamond's Cherry, Cherry. I mean, what's not to love? And if you still don't like this flick, I've got some movies that you can watch instead: Porno, or monster trucks.
And I got one that's both.
