I just dislike both of them. I'm sick of them. Like Christan Bale and that asshole from Children of Men.

Clive Owen?  What has he done?

Well, he was in Children of Men, so by definition he is either an asshat or shows execrable judgement.  I'd say just appearing in that wretched movie is grounds for dislike.

They did a good long shot scene with the tank.  Those are difficult.
I've given it serious thought. I must scorn the ways of my family, and seek a Japanese woman to yield me my progeny. He shall live in the lands of the east, and be well tutored in his sacred trust to weave the best traditions of Japan and the Sacred South together, until such time as he (or, indeed his house, which will periodically require infusion of both Southern and Japanese bloodlines of note) can deliver to the South it's independence, either in this world or in space.  -Lettow April of 2011

Raz is right. -MadImmortalMan March of 2017

Children of Men isn't that bad, I doubt there's a single A-lister out there who hasn't done worse.

I disagree.  Chiwetel Ejiofor is good.

Who was also in Inside Man with Owen, an excellent film all around.

That's right.  I was a little disappointed that the big reveal went back to the Nazis, but I didn't have any complaints about the rest of the film.

Watched Transformers 3 today.

Now, I thoroughly enjoyed 1 and 2, with the standard exceptions of the silly humour and the over-focus on humans when all I want to watch is robots beating the crap out of eachother.

However, this one really disappointed. The end-battle made up for it somewhat, but it just felt like they were trying far too hard. I could also never get quite comfortable with the 3D so I may have to see it again without it.

They turned on the lights in the theater 10 minutes before the movie ended, so the entire final battle was tainted by my sudden onset of seething anger. Normally I will just be a bit irritated at these things [believe it or not, but I am actually a very forgiving person], and maybe consider angrily what I'd like to do to the staff at the theater, but today it was just like something snapped in my head. I've had several separate businesses attempt to fuck with me by selling me shoddy merchandise (and only replacing it after loud screaming and threats to report them to the proper authorities) or lying to me about the details of subcriptions (why, yes, I can see here that this other kind of plan will be much cheaper for you [haha in fact it will triple your costs! scooore!]) and the utter fucking audacity of fucking with my movie enjoyment simply pushed me over the edge.

I stomped out of the theater, brimming with righteous fury and seized the closest staffmember and demanded to see his supervisor, which I proceeded to chew out. Little spitfuck made the mistake of crudely observing that I should've stepped out to notify them that their automatic system had turned the lights on prematurely instead of waiting for the movie to end THUS RUINING THE ENDING REGARDLESS. Gave him a torrent of abuse and he finally realized that perhaps he should just give us a couple of free tickets. I felt a bit bad when I noticed he was shaking with adrenaline and fear, but my anger would not be soothed.

A gaggle of less insane movie goers tagged along and used me as a battering ram, and there were obviously a lot of pissed people though in the typical Swedish fashion no one dared say anything until I released the Slargos.

Felt pretty good being the unreasonably angry customer for once.

Though I think it's quite possible that he started weeping after I was done with him, and that probably doesn't go on the plus side of my karmic score board.  :Embarrass: [/b]
