demeter918: blue doraemon cat (Default)
Just got back from the midnight screening.

This is one goshdarn funny movie.

SPARKLES! )

Uh, I'll write a better synopsis later. When I'm more coherent.

Of interesting note - I couldn't help laughing the whole way through and so did a lot of people. And that irritated a few others, one who said I should stop laughing because it wasn't funny. Au contraire! It was one of the funniest movies of 2008, I think.

Some guy got really angry in the back and was muttering, "shut the eff up, shut the eff up" to everyone around him. I guess it's not just us gals who get all worked up over Edward's hairless pecs. (... um, that sounded wrong.)

Overall?

I gotta think about it. I was very entertained by it after all. I gotta give it its due.

The Road by Cormac McCarthy is becoming a movie; just found this out yesterday and Viggo Mortensen will play the father.

I am now excited; this is one of my favorite books I've read this year. I'm still feeling ambivalent by the ending, but I think that's actually a strength and results a point for the book. It made me wonder and think, gave me little things to consider.

review, spoilers included )

It looks like a 2009 release, though it's still in post-production.
