Slog - Comments on No This Weekend at the Movies http://slog.thestranger.com/2007/12/no_this_weekend_at_the_movies If you're waiting for This Weekend at the Movies, I'm sorry. My browser ate my lengthy post. I am so depressed. Here's On Screen. It's really long, and includes reviews of the following movies: Juno (good), The Kite Runner (bad), I Am Legend (good), Starting Out in the Evening (good), Goodbye Bafana (bad), The Walker (bad), The Amateurs (sexist and bad), The Perfect Holiday (kind of gross), Romance & Cigarettes (bad). Over here is Alvin and the Chipmunks. Party 1, Party 2, and tonight: Robert Horton's Critics Wrap 2007, featuring our very own Andrew Wright....

I hated The Kite Runner, they cut too much out of it. I want to see Juno and Romance & Cigarettes.

That way if anything goes wrong you can just paste in the post again. This habit has saved me numerous times.

Seriously. Has its share of problems, but John Turturro poured his heart into this Bukowski-inspired thing, and it shows. I agree with Mr. Kiley that a few cast members are wasted, like Amy Sedaris and Mary-Louise Parker, but James Gandolfini is fan-fucking-tastic.

HOWEVER. the chipmunks movie? oh. yes. esp. if we can start a 'Munks slog fan club.natch.

I came out of the screening like some crazed convert. It's nice that now everyone else will be able to understand my Ellen Page and Michael Cera zealotry.

I've come to the conclusion that only WETA workshop should be allowed to do CGI anymore. Everyone else is either too lazy or too obsessed with making everything CG -- thus making the effects look cartoonish (George Lucas, I'm looking at you).

Nancy's ex, a rapper or something, goes by the name J. JIZZY. He has a clothing line called "Jizzy Gear." Jizzy. Gear. Excuse me, man. Look at your gear. Your gear is covered with jizz. Why did you buy that gear? IT'S JIZZY GEAR! This Christmas, the perfect man just happens to be—eeeeeeeeeew! SANTA, I THINK YOU GOT SOMETHING ON YOUR GEAR.

I think I'll stop watching movies altogether and just read Lindy West's reviews of them instead. The actual movie couldn't measure up.

Didnt think so.
