I'll give you blogifide lovin!

My life has been filled with sadness and misery since my beloved computer went to sleep and never woke up again. I attempted to update from my iphone but to no avail. When my computer decided to go toe up I had just watched "Kickass" and was super stoked to review my latest theater adventure. In that month long technologically challenged period I actually saw almost nothing noteworthy but I thought I would try and round up a couple of my thoughts on what sweet little pop culture exposures I did have.
mmmmmmmk brain, do your worst!

Kickass

Firstly, the comic was WAYYYY better. But fortunately the film managed to capture at least an iota of the awesome making it one of the better movies I have watched in a while. My only complaints were:
-Aaron Johnson is wayyyyyy to dreamy to play Dave Lizewski.
Johnson looks like this:

While Lizewski is supposed to look like this:

uhhh yeah, i think you get my point. But Johnson did manage to capture the "essence" of the character despite his glaring hotness while masking his British accent masterfully.
-They gave many of the characters redemption that should have been left as the loserly sell outs they were revealed to be in the comic. Oh Hollywood, you do it every time.
-The jet pack. Seriously, it was overkill.

Other than those few details, I was completely enthralled with the movie. It's nice to see a superhero movie/comic where the hero takes as many beatings as he hands out, if not more.

Sex and the City 2
Dear god, don't watch this movie. Ever. I spent the last half of the TWO AND A HALF HOURS writhing in my seat with my sweater pulled over my head. I really liked the show so for me watching this movie was like having all the shitty superficial aspects of the show barfed in my face (especially the eyes, oh the burning) for a ridiculously long period of time. The clothes were terrible and that was supposed to be the saving grace, I foolishly thought that at least there would be some fashionable eye candy but no, these ladies were dressed like a bunch of gaudy old hoes from Miami. Also they pretty much heckled Muslim religion and customs throughout the whole film without actually taking any sort of political stance. Their only qualm with the whole burqa was how stupid a woman looks eating fries. I would rather be bound, gagged, put in a sack and dropped to the bottom of an icy cold river filled with super sharks and piranhas than lay eyes on this abomination ever again.
DO NOT WANT!!!!!!!!!!
