Oh my geezus....

During this past week, i have watched quite a bit of tv and movies... as i am currently watching after my girlfriend since she had her wisdom teeth pulled out...

which also left me with the distinct impression that i will never willingly have mine pulled... you will have to seriously put a gun to my head...

am i afraid of the pain? nope. then what? -- simple... the blood... i saw so much blood... and i'm fine with blood, till i start to see it pour out of someone's mouth...

i'll get them done anyway... but i won't be wanting to eat afterword...

anyway, now that i'm off topic, i will attempt to verge back onto my topic of movies...

i saw "Glitter" on Saturday...

Yes by choice. I wanted to see it so that i could determine if something out there was worse than last year's "The Fast and the Furious"...

jury is still out on that one... but i will say that it made me want to rip out my spleen and choke Mariah Carey with it...
Everything you've probably heard about how horrid the movie is, it's entirely true...

i became quite sick at the number of scenes where Ms. Carey was the only one able to "sing well" in a crowd of people. It also had too many scenes from the 80's, which reminded me why i am so fortunate to not have been an adolescent/teenager during those terrible times...

then i remembered how my mother would only listen to 80's music in the car before the time when i could drive... no wonder much of my early teen years were troubled... who's wouldn't be? seriously?

And of course there were the other cliché characters in the movie: the two best friends who get left behind by the aspiring and finally noticed star, the "shining-knight" who notices her and brings her out of her despair to become a great star, the mother who had to give up her baby and who is later found at the end, the "bad-guy" who wants only money, the producers and big-ticket album makers who try to make her be what she "doesn't want to be".

... ooooh, and then there was the cut-scenes with glitter or fireworks as transition... WTF? that and the city-scapes... every other transition, i got to see the tops of New York buildings and bridges... well i guess i can canceled that planned trip to New York now, as i've seen every fucking building i could have wanted to see...

there were no point to those buildings... NONE. Now, some might remember jimmoi's tirades about how the flying whales from Fantasia 2000 were pointless... and may think that it's the same thing going on here... that i'm just ranting and "ten planes in china" and all that...

but hell no... you watch and you tell me if the buildings made any sense... i even tried to make them make sense... but no...
i could at least make the flying whales make sense, but not those buildings...
