Just saw The Incredible Hulk. It was great. I'm not gonna bother comparing it to Iron Man like everyone undoubtedly has/will. They're both equally great but are totally different from each other so there's no point talking about them together. Anyway there's nothing I didn't like (except that holding Hulk's hand showed how much he wasn't actually there, but it was fine). Just that it ended, and I even had to pee for the ENTIRE movie. Like even going into the theatre but there was a line outside and I didn't want to leave it, though I could have as my friends would have stayed there. Whatever. I made it. Don't bother to stick around for credits, there's nothing at all after them (and thank God they aren't as #####ing long as Iron Man's). I think now that Marvel isn't outsourcing anything in their movies, the quality will be constantly up to par with these two. Iron Man and Incredible Hulk were done with the same quality as Spider-Man 2. Like it just LOOKS great and quality, if you catch my drift. Like... Spider-Man 3, looked very cheaply done and just not as clean and fine tuned as #2, for example. And X-Men 3 looked about the same as Spider-Man 3. Iron Man, Incredible Hulk, and Spider-Man 2 were made on a whole other level of quality, I can't really describe it so I hope you all get what I mean. You are easily wrong.
Then I expect the twist is dumb. Unless there isn't one. Either way I have absolutely no plans to see it. I looks good but I just don't really care enough. |

I watched "Let's Go To Prison" recently.
It was a very dark comedy but I enjoyed it for what it was. An interesting viewing, to say the least.
It's very different than a lot of the stuff you see nowadays and delightfully unique in terms of plot.
Sure, it's got a lame twist but it sort of fit, you know?
All in all it was pretty bland and felt really empty, and there wasn't anything very special about it. It wasn't particularly funny at all and it certainly wasn't dramatic either, and the story was nothing noteworthy, so I guess what I'm saying is... it's interesting in its own right, but not really all that good.
Will Arnett is really underplayed, too, compared to what I've seen in Arrested Development and even Blades of Glory.

What I liked was that Disney doesn't like commercials, so we didn't have to add the corporate commercials to the trailer pack for all that crap before the feature presentation, meaning it starts sooner. Of course that means when I check the movie when it starts, it goes straight to that #####ing Beverly Hills Chihuahua trailer, but it's easier for me to check the sound that way... not that I ever need to.
And oh yeah, I enjoyed the movie, except there was a misframe during the screening, meaning there was a line in the middle of the screen, and the bottom of the frame showing above the line, and the top showing below the line, so I had the keys thrown at me during the movie and I had to run out of the auditorium and all the way upstairs to fix it. But that has nothing to do with the quality of the film itself, it was just... unusual. I liked it though, I just missed a part.
Then there was a second misframe at the credits, and I'm like "How the hell did he manage that?" One of our staff at each time is responsible for making up the films, and I was trained on it recently, and I find it actually quite difficult to ##### up. It's just a matter of using your eyes and cutting on the proper line.
