Tron: Legacy (2010).  WOW.  This is a movie with no real intellectual ambition; emotional ambitions that it mishandles awkwardly as often as it succeeds with them; and aesthetic ambitions so majestically fulfilled that its failures to be intelligent or moving, when it really should have been, are nearly meaningless in comparison.

Nothing like kicking off the morning with a hot cup of coffee and a pretentiously overwritten movie review by Ide. :yeah:

Nah, Parks and Rec took a while to hit its stride. First season had a lot of "will they, won't they" with that creepy-looking Mark guy.

I completely forgot about him.

I thought it was a really elaborate troll, but I'm slowly starting to think Ide is actually serious about these reviews. :mellow:

God Bless America- ....I don't get it. Does it think it's been clever with its 'moan moan, modern society sucks' thing? Kind of amusing but I think I'm missing something.

Sitting down to double feature of Iron Man 3 and then Star Trek. See how horribly wrong Ide is.

Molly Ringwold

Hated her then and now.
I used to think she was ugly as hell but I saw some recent pics of her that... intrigued me. :sleep:

If Ide lived in Boston, he'd do all his movie viewing at the ultra-pretentious Brattle Street Theatre. :)

I, for one, appreciate Ide's thorough and comprehensive movie reviews.  :sleep:

Certainly better than mine.  :P

They have the Looney Tunes weekend though.  And occasionally Muppets.  that makes up for a lot.
PDH!

Star Trek. See how horribly wrong Ide is.

I thought the first one was fantastic. I will see Trek2 tomorrow and try to take it in context with just JJ Abrams. I dont know if I will be able to.

Pretty much, though I always preferred the myth arc anyways...at least until Season 7 or so.

I most likely won't be seeing Before Midnight because while I'm sure it's perfectly good, I 1)don't believe it's coming out around here and 2)haven't seen the other two, and those don't exactly get me hard either.
It's all a Goddamned shame.

There is some good stuff in there, imho.  Some bad, unoriginal too, but some good is there.
