Can't Think Of A Title For This Post

It's getting harder and harder to find the time to watch movies these days, so you'd think my criteria for the films I DO get to watch would improve, right? Like, I should probably make the decision to ONLY watch movies that have a chance of being actually good, and to stay away from films I've heard are terrible. Right? Right.

But where's the fun in that?

Besides, adopting such a sensible attitude to movie-watching would have robbed me of the delight of realising that two films I expected to be absolute rubbish turned out to be surprisingly good fun. Let's take the first one— a sequel to one of the worst films I've seen in the last few years.

GI Joe: The Rise of Cobra was an awful film. I mean, it was just dreadful. It was so bad that I felt compelled to talk about it on this very Blog, way back in 2009. Here is what I said about it:

"I now hate this movie, for it is awful. It is worse than X-Men 3. It is even worse than Transformers 2. I have not hated a film so much since I saw Van Helsing. Van Helsing was directed by the same man. There are lessons in life I should learn, and yet learn them I do not."

Ah, good times. This was back when I was writing Dark Days. What a fantastic book that was.

Sorry, where was I? Oh yes.

The first GI Joe was horrible. It had a stupid story and stupid action and stupid characters and everything was stupid. It had the worst CGI I'd seen in a long time and they'd taken a monumentally dumb approach to the whole thing. They gave the Joes super robot suits, for god's sake.

So naturally, knowing how much I hated the first one, I went ahead and watched the sequel. And maybe it's because I expected it to be every bit as bad— but it was actually pretty cool.

The story was still dumb. COBRA'S ultimate plan was just daft. But there were so many cool bits in it. The ninjas on the mountain. Adrianne Palicki jogging. Cobra Commander's AWESOME outfit. Adrianne Palicki in the red dress. Bruce Willis and his house of guns. Adrianne Palicki doing stuff.

And the two best scenes were between the Rock and Channing Tatum. The video game and the sharpshooting. Funny writing, funny performances- if every scene was as good as these two, it would have been an amazing movie. As it was, it was fun, action-packed, quite stupid, but there is NOTHING about it you'd hate after watching it.

Oh, but there is ONE moment I should mention. To show how high tech the Joes are, they're given all these cool gadgets at the start. One of these gadgets is a pair of gloves that MELTS THROUGH a chainlink fence. Melts THROUGH it! How awesome is that?? No more waiting around for the extra few seconds while they cut through the fence with stupid, old-fashioned fence cutters! No way! Now they save VITAL SECONDS by using these gloves! And the best thing? THEY GLOW BRIGHT ORANGE! So instead of dumb soldiers cutting through a fence with stupid fence cutters in the dark, being all sneaky and stuff, now the Joes can cut through the fence and alert any enemy within a five mile radius to their presence at the same time! Yippee!

(But apart from this moment of dumbness, it's not a bad movie. I swear.)

And the other film I thought would be awful was Hansel and Gretel: Witch Hunters.

I heard this was diabolical. It's not. There are parts of this that are SO COOL. The witches are the best witches ever in the world EVER. They're evil and hideous but no two are alike. The make-up is brilliant. Famke Janssen is the head witch, and it takes guts to turn one of the most beautiful women in the world into a hideous monster, but they do it, and she's utterly brilliant.

It's a lovely idea at its core— what would Hansel and Gretel be like when they grew up?— and while it's set in a vague time, hundreds of years ago, the language and the music are modern day, which adds to the anarchic quality of it all.  That said, the American accents sported by Jeremy Renner and Gemma Arterton are a tad distracting, especially seeing as how everyone else has a thick European accent. But come on... Renner's cool and Gemma Arterton is Gemma Arterton. Mmmm Gemma Arterton...

Word of warning, though. This looks like a family film, like a slightly dark fairytale, but it's not. It revels in bad language and gore. There are exploding heads a-plenty. So naturally I loved it.


I don't know if I'd ever watch either of these movies for a second time, but they were pretty damn good the first time out. Which was a really nice surprise.

Cooooooool....

Noelle said...

Impossible? Or holding yourself back?


And it is. Beware, however. Sometimes the things we want aren't what we need...

I'm Jubilance Glee / Occasional Haiku-er / And a dinosaur said...

I kinda wanna know what I'm gonna see...

But on the other hand, I kinda don't either...

Noelle said...

*shrugs* Go on ahead, Jubi.

Trip Castalan, Lord of The Hobbits, The Fourth Most Popular Folk/Parody Banana Thief In The Land said...

Both. Even if I could. As you said, what we want, is not always what we need.

#ChaseForBook9

I'm Jubilance Glee / Occasional Haiku-er / And a dinosaur said...

Ok whatever... *Steps in front of Mirror*

I'm Jubilance Glee / Occasional Haiku-er / And a dinosaur said...

I KNEW IT!

Noelle said...

So, Jubi? Good? Bad?

I'm Jubilance Glee / Occasional Haiku-er / And a dinosaur said...

Me??

Noelle said...

That, or some random crush... *laughs* sounds like Jubi...

I wonder what else is in here

Trip Castalan, Lord of The Hobbits, The Fourth Most Popular Folk/Parody Banana Thief In The Land said...

Or Dexter Vex. He's pretty hot...

#ChaseForBook9

I'm Jubilance Glee / Occasional Haiku-er / And a dinosaur said...

No.
DEFINATELY not.

Noelle said...

*giggles again* Again, too much Dumbledore, Mr.Castalan?

Trip Castalan, Lord of The Hobbits, The Fourth Most Popular Folk/Parody Banana Thief In The Land said...

What was it then? Married to Fletcher? Terrible hair, but who am I to judge?

#ChaseForBook9

I'm Jubilance Glee / Occasional Haiku-er / And a dinosaur said...

Married to NO ONE

Trip Castalan, Lord of The Hobbits, The Fourth Most Popular Folk/Parody Banana Thief In The Land said...

Too much Dumbledore? I'm not really familiar with the man, you may need to elaborate.

#ChaseForBook9

Noelle said...

*grins and wanders off again* Oh Jubi, Jubi, Jubi...

Trip Castalan, Lord of The Hobbits, The Fourth Most Popular Folk/Parody Banana Thief In The Land said...

That's what you saw in the mirror. Dying alone?

For your INFORMATION, My greatest desire isn't to be married to someone.

Niccolò Croatoan said...

Hello, Fabienne.

#ChaseForBook9

Trip Castalan, Lord of The Hobbits, The Fourth Most Popular Folk/Parody Banana Thief In The Land said...

I'm just messing around Niccolo, it's pretty fun to be honest.

Maybe you should look into the mirror?

#ChaseForBook9

Noelle said...

...Why would anyone want to die alone? *sounds genuinely confused, picking up a broken banjo*

I'm Jubilance Glee / Occasional Haiku-er / And a dinosaur said...

HE WHAT?!?!?!?!?!?!?!!


HE WHAT!?!?!?!?!?!?!?


and FABI!!!! *supermegatacklehugsofdoom*

I'm Jubilance Glee / Occasional Haiku-er / And a dinosaur said...

OMG YES COCCO LOOK IN THE MIRROR!!!!! :D

Noelle said...

Maybe you should, Trip

Trip Castalan, Lord of The Hobbits, The Fourth Most Popular Folk/Parody Banana Thief In The Land said...

Hey Fabi! So Jubi, what is it then?

#ChaseDorBook9

I'm Jubilance Glee / Occasional Haiku-er / And a dinosaur said...

You have a point Adra


WHO ON THIS EARTH WOULD WANT TO DIE ALONE??

Fabi S. - Fashion-Conscious Fire Wraith said...

[Laughs]

Was it chocolate, Jubiiiiieeeeeeieio?

Hello Adra, Jubi, Niccolo, Trip(whatonearthareyoudoinguoatthishour) and you over there. I see you.

#ChaseForBook9

I'm Jubilance Glee / Occasional Haiku-er / And a dinosaur said...

*Smiles* Why don't you look in the mirror first Trip? THEN I'll tell you what I saw.
after you tell me what YOU saw of course.

I'm Jubilance Glee / Occasional Haiku-er / And a dinosaur said...

PLEEEEEEEAASEEEE

Fabi S. - Fashion-Conscious Fire Wraith said...

#ChaseForBook9

Noelle said...

*shrugs* I'm just saying, if Nic has to, then so do you.

*grins* I could hold your hand if you want

I'm Jubilance Glee / Occasional Haiku-er / And a dinosaur said...

I'll let you ride CLEMMYYY!!! :D

Trip Castalan, Lord of The Hobbits, The Fourth Most Popular Folk/Parody Banana Thief In The Land said...

I for your information Fabi am being a reckless idiot!

#ChaseForBook9

Niccolò Croatoan said...

I... I'd rather not, actually, if you don't mind... If I think too much about it, I may leave suddenly and do something Aretha would classify as stupid.

#ChaseForBook9

Noelle said...

There are a lot of things that can be considered stupid. *gestures to Trip* example a! :D

Fabi S. - Fashion-Conscious Fire Wraith said...

[Laughs]

#ChaseForBook9

Trip Castalan, Lord of The Hobbits, The Fourth Most Popular Folk/Parody Banana Thief In The Land said...

*mumbling* I'm scared of /how/ it would show me what I would see. I would not be able to unsee it.

*pulls out the venomous scorpion I carry around at all times*

*to Niccolo* Propose?

#ChaseDorBook9

Fabi S. - Fashion-Conscious Fire Wraith said...

Oooh noooooo! It's a venomous scorpion! D:

#ChaseForBook9

Noelle said...

I'd be right there... Of course, you don't have to look, but... I'm just saying

Noelle said...

*begins laughing* OH MY GOD. THAT WOULD BE BRILLIANT, NICCOLO.

Niccolò Croatoan said...

What exactly do you mean, Trip? I don't understand.

#ChaseForBook9

Trip Castalan, Lord of The Hobbits, The Fourth Most Popular Folk/Parody Banana Thief In The Land said...

No. I won't. I can't. It's too dangerous.

#ChaseForBook9

Niccolò Croatoan said...

Oh, that... No, no that was not what I meant... *suddenly appears very uncomfortable*

#ChaseForBook9

I'm Jubilance Glee / Occasional Haiku-er / And a dinosaur said...

LOOK IN THE MIRROR FOR GODS SAKE!!!!


Or I will turn into a Jubiosaurus and kill you all


WITH MY SCORPION!!!!!


(His name is Kumquat)

I'm Jubilance Glee / Occasional Haiku-er / And a dinosaur said...

I have a tendency to name my pets after fruits....

Noelle said...

*nods in understanding* *doesn't understand* *whatever*

Trip Castalan, Lord of The Hobbits, The Fourth Most Popular Folk/Parody Banana Thief In The Land said...

The stupid thing. You would propose. But I think it'd be adorable. I'd pay for the wedding!

#ChaseForBook9

Fabi S. - Fashion-Conscious Fire Wraith said...

[Yawns and waves umbrella experimentally in Jubi's general direction]

#ChaseForBook9

I'm Jubilance Glee / Occasional Haiku-er / And a dinosaur said...

*pockets Kumquat*
what's with the umbrella?

Noelle said...

*slaps his shoulder* hush, leave the poor boy alone. *laughs under her breath* good idea, though.

Trip Castalan, Lord of The Hobbits, The Fourth Most Popular Folk/Parody Banana Thief In The Land said...

You don't understand Adra. *sigh* No one does. Or ever will.

#ChaseForBook9

jugglingpaynes said...

How silly, Mr Landy. If you only watched movies that have a chance of being good, how would you ever find the treasures of dialogue and metaphor hidden in the worst? And the laughs. You don't get the laughs you do in a good bad movie! :o)

I'm glad to hear your take on Hansel and Gretel. My family loves the fairy tale genre. The original Grimm version was pretty gruesome anyway, it made sense they would grow up to be witch hunters.

I'm Jubilance Glee / Occasional Haiku-er / And a dinosaur said...

OK
on a completely unrelated note


ORDER IF THE STICK IS THE BEST WEBCOMIC EVERRRRR :D

Trip Castalan, Lord of The Hobbits, The Fourth Most Popular Folk/Parody Banana Thief In The Land said...

I guess he has to build up the courage in his own time.

#ChaseForBook9

Noelle said...

As do you...

*beckons her head* Come on, there was something that I saw on the way in...

Trip Castalan, Lord of The Hobbits, The Fourth Most Popular Folk/Parody Banana Thief In The Land said...

I LIKE IT BUT DISAGREE! CYANIDE AND HAPPINESS FOR EVER! But dear god it's offensive.

#ChaseForBook9

Niccolò Croatoan said...

No, that was definitely not what I meant... At least you've made Aretha laugh a little... *sighs* If you're all so painfully curious, I'll look and show you what I see, but I warn you it will not be uplifting.

#ChaseForBook9

Fabi S. - Fashion-Conscious Fire Wraith said...

[Looks at black umbrella and shrugs]

I had to take some things into my own hands and deal with them. That's how I did it.

Also, Kumquat is a nice name.

[Shrugs again]

#ChaseForBook9

Trip Castalan, Lord of The Hobbits, The Fourth Most Popular Folk/Parody Banana Thief In The Land said...

*follows Adra*

#ChaseForBook9

I'm Jubilance Glee / Occasional Haiku-er / And a dinosaur said...

Kumquat thanks you, Fabi :)

Niccolò Croatoan said...

Trip, that is a rather negative outlook to have on life. And someone may just prove you wrong. Lord knows I was certain no one could understand. I've found that if you give people the opportunity, they can understand better than you would imagine.

#ChaseForBook9

Noelle said...

Ice cream and sadness :3


And... *points to the dragon eggs* Baby Smaug. Just saying.

Fabi S. - Fashion-Conscious Fire Wraith said...

What language does Kumquat speak?

[Raises an eyebrow]

#ChaseForBook9

Trip Castalan, Lord of The Hobbits, The Fourth Most Popular Folk/Parody Banana Thief In The Land said...

Niccolo, do not take me for a simple puzzle, I am no crossword. I am a soduku where every square is a rubix cube which is 1000000 cubes by 1000000 cubes by 1000000 cubes which is locked in a chest with a lock with over 900 billion possibilities that was burnt to ashes.

#ChaseForBook9

Niccolò Croatoan said...

Now I am thoroughly confused. What exactly are we talking about?

#ChaseForBook9

Noelle said...

I've been lost... I dunno. *one of the eggs fractures, and a beak pokes through* No way...

Niccolò Croatoan said...

I have yet to compare you to anything, Trip, nor to say you are simple or easy to understand- merely that the possibility does exist, and it can happen should you allow it.

#ChaseForBook9

Trip Castalan, Lord of The Hobbits, The Fourth Most Popular Folk/Parody Banana Thief In The Land said...

Ha! Baby Smaug. That does cheer me up. Thank you Adra. *smiles and hugs Adra*

I'm Jubilance Glee / Occasional Haiku-er / And a dinosaur said...

I think he speaks scorpionese

I'm Jubilance Glee / Occasional Haiku-er / And a dinosaur said...

He knows a little bit of Crab though

Trip Castalan, Lord of The Hobbits, The Fourth Most Popular Folk/Parody Banana Thief In The Land said...

True. But... My past is my burden.

#ChaseForBook9

Noelle said...

*grins and hugs back* Of course.


And, Um... Jubi?

*a little head breaks though the shell*

Trip Castalan, Lord of The Hobbits, The Fourth Most Popular Folk/Parody Banana Thief In The Land said...

Oh Jubi...

Aw! Babby dragon!

#ChaseForBook9

I'm Jubilance Glee / Occasional Haiku-er / And a dinosaur said...

*frowns* what...?

Noelle said...

*the dragon begins to wiggle itself out of the egg and she gets a little basket and towel to put him in. He's a little black dragon with red highlights*

So cute! *strokes its beak*

I'm Jubilance Glee / Occasional Haiku-er / And a dinosaur said...

OMYGOSH A BABY DRAGON!!!!!!!!!

Niccolò Croatoan said...

That does not mean you are beyond understanding, merely that you carry a burden.

#ChaseForBook9

Awwwwww! It's adorable!

#ChaseForBook9

I'm Jubilance Glee / Occasional Haiku-er / And a dinosaur said...

CAN I NAME HIM TOMATO!!?? :D

Trip Castalan, Lord of The Hobbits, The Fourth Most Popular Folk/Parody Banana Thief In The Land said...

I did not mean it like that Niccolo. Just forget I said anything.

#ChaseForBook9

Noelle said...

NO!!!!

*gingerly picks him up as another one hatches* you can name that other one tomato...
*puts the black dragon in the basket and gently takes some water, rubbing him down as he puffs a little bit of fire*

*coughs into her arm* Lord..

I'm Jubilance Glee / Occasional Haiku-er / And a dinosaur said...

Niccolò Croatoan said...

If you insist.

#ChaseForBook9

Noelle said...

*glances at the other* Jubi, can you help me with the other? *gestures to another basket* once it hatches, that is...

*grins at the baby dragon* I really want to name it Smaug...

I'm Jubilance Glee / Occasional Haiku-er / And a dinosaur said...

*laughs* good name

Fabi S. - Fashion-Conscious Fire Wraith said...

[Smiles]

I like reptiles...

[Now in the world of video editing and distance]

Smaug was red, but I think we could make an allowance. Or! Call it toothless!

#ChaseForBook9

I'm Jubilance Glee / Occasional Haiku-er / And a dinosaur said...

but... its has teeth

I'm Jubilance Glee / Occasional Haiku-er / And a dinosaur said...

well... it WILL have teeth once it gets older...

Trip Castalan, Lord of The Hobbits, The Fourth Most Popular Folk/Parody Banana Thief In The Land said...

Well yeah, did no one read how to train your Dragon?

#ChaseForBook9

I'm Jubilance Glee / Occasional Haiku-er / And a dinosaur said...

I saw the movie... :P

Trip Castalan, Lord of The Hobbits, The Fourth Most Popular Folk/Parody Banana Thief In The Land said...

It could become Toothfull.

#ChaseForBook9

Noelle said...

And it has some red... At least it wasn't Saphira or something...

Because he's obviously a girl.
And blue

I'm Jubilance Glee / Occasional Haiku-er / And a dinosaur said...

It hasn't hatched yet.......


Shouldn't it be in a fire or something?

Wow. We went from "No one will ever truly understand me!" To "Let's call this dragon Lord Vile!"

And well, Trip, that's because you were being stubborn about letting people in, so we dropped it

HI EVERYONE HI CRAZY COCO

Noelle said...

Wow...

Zanida Laufeydottir Queen of Asgard (Zafira Kerias) said...

What are you up to Niccolò *sits by*

Niccolò Croatoan said...

Adra, are you alright?

Zafira, we are still at Hogwarts. That is all, I believe, for the moment.

Huh okay i am so freaked...I had a vision of Javier attacking

Noelle said...

Puts down the steak knife, pushing the meat into the center of the table*

It just... I don't like seeing Trip that way. Feeling like he has to carry the weight of the world on his shoulders- because he doesn't, and he's clearly in pain about something, but he won't say a word about it...
*plays with Blueberry's wings*
I just wish he felt like he could, I dunno, trust me enough to tell me... *frowns* Or something

Noelle said...

*shakes her head* nevermind, I'm just ranting. It's none of my business. *picks up Blueberry, sticking him in a water bowl, washing him off*

Zanida Laufeydottir Queen of Asgard (Zafira Kerias) said...

I just read through comments *bangs head on wall* why is it i swear fate hates me? Maybe it's true maybe i am cursed because i tried to hide from the truth of who i am really related to

Niccolò Croatoan said...

I believe I may be able to sympathize with him in some respects. Aretha felt similarly about me for quite some time. Actually, I would not have shared anything with her if it weren't for my great fear of myself. For me, at least, it was not a matter of trust, but of her safety. Aretha had already heard my true name- she could have brought me to my knees in an instant. Not as though she would need my true name to do that, anyway. The link I made with her means neither of us can have any sort of secrets from each other. I was hesitant to share everything with her not because of a lapse in trust, but because I did not wish to weigh her down with my problems.

Zafira, what are you talking about?

#ChaseForBook9

Noelle said...

Fate doesn't hate you... It's balance. You get something good, get something bad...

Noelle said...

... Alright, but... *frowns* I'm already screwed as is, what's another story going to do?

Zanida Laufeydottir Queen of Asgard (Zafira Kerias) said...

NiccolĂł if you really wanted to know you'd hate me maybe not i dunno know. You already know what i feel for you so I guess that's not a secret but there are things about me you DONT know. Who my biological father is to be exact...*kicks at ground furiously* don't judge me by it Coco im nothing like my father, Scarab

Adra sometimes i wonder i have a hell lot bad

Noelle said...

*looks up* Don't we all? We have a lot of good as well, we just don't take the time to notice it

Zanida Laufeydottir Queen of Asgard (Zafira Kerias) said...

Maybe something good will happen idk i want something but it'll never happen

Noelle said...

Unrequited love... *shrugs* there are 7 billion people, Zaf

Sapphire Iota (S/ Cam) said...

Zanida Laufeydottir Queen of Asgard (Zafira Kerias) said...
