Pretty sad ending, too.

Freelancers.
50 Cent can surround himself with good actors like Robert De Niro and Dana Delany, and he'll still be a shitty actor.
"Following"
Just watched Grosse Pointe Blank.
Watching season 7 of Weeds on Netflix... Mary-Louise Parker/Nancy Botwin reminds me of this chick I worked with 20 years ago who I had it bad for. She gave off this hot "all this and brains too -- I'll hurt you boy" kinda vibe. I got her top and bra off her in Vegas while she was drunk, but we never went all the way because she was drunk and some fucked up moral code kicked me at the wrong moment.
Didn't care for A History of Violence, sorry Vin. Feel like such an asshole. Give me the Dildo avatar if you must, bro.
In Bruges is great, though.
DUDE!
Mary Lousie-Parker = YES PLEASE!
Just something about her that makes me wanna do unspeakable things to her until I die from lack of fluids
Weeds is another show I might have to get into... worst case scenario I get to watch her more often :)
As for a History of Violence... kinda just there IMO. Been a long while since I've watched it to be honest. It was reasonable.
I watched Prometheus the other day... what a fucking waste of my time! Could have been so much better but no attention to detail at all it seems.... and not from an Alien fanboy POV either.
First example: the guy and chick responsible for finding the cave painting in Scotland... that scene where they explain to the other peeps on the mission why it's important, why they're all on the mission... WTF is that scene? Just a throw away, not a lot happens... IMO that scene should have been longer, starting with them explaining where each symbol was found... it provides historic reference if you mention the greatest civilaisations known to man and say "this symbol was found at [insert well known sacred site here]"
Then after the guy and chick tell all these people about our "Creators" 2 dudes say some shit and that's it! There are another 6 or 7 people in the room but it appears everyone is cool - no one has questions or anything! WTF? You just got hired to go to the edge of space, slept for 2 years and woke up to be told you're going to meet your "creators" and you say... nothing? WTF?
2nd example = when they arrive at the planet... they enter the atmosphere, fly over a little bit (takes less than 60 seconds of screen time if memory serves) and BOOM! FOUND IT! We're so fucking lucky! We have journeyed to the edge of space, slept for 2 years and BOOM! As we descend onto the planet's surface we found what we needed to find STRAIGHT AWAY! WOW!
FUCK OFF!
It would have been far more interesting if as they descend to the surface you get a huge forest or ocean... with what appears to be a road or a bridge .... that leads to a fucking HUGE city/pyramid/structure of some sort that we'd recognise from an ancient civilisation... and then they could have landed and driven around this massive stone city/structure... followed the single road/bridge out to the hollow fucking thing they needed to find!
2 small things almost straight away in the flick that could have been changed to add some layers/depth to the story, to highlight what a fucking monumental mission this was...
Instead we got a room full of people just going "Yep, going to meet our makers" and "wow, we're really lucky we found it straight away" kind of thing. On screen it's not treated as a BIG DEAL for them the people to BE on the mission and it's not treated as a BIG DEAL when they find the structure because it happened straight away.
IF it's not a big deal to the fucking people on screen WHY WOULD I CARE?
Fucking movie lost me straight away and did nothing to get me back... and even when the "action" ramped up it never got out of 2nd gear IMO... the whole fucking flick was paint by numbers or just a mess... what was up with the bit where Charlize Theron says "meet me in my quarters in 10 minutes" to the Captain? She's gonna fuck the captain to prove she's not a robot? Really? I'm supposed to buy that? I'm supposed to believe that this character who is in command of the entire fucking mission is going to have sex with a guy to prove she's not a robot?
How the fuck did she end up in command of the entire mission if she can't brush off that kind of shit? Surely it's generally accepted that woman in positions of power had to deal with all kinds of shit in order to get there... obviously the writer's/filmakers didn't think I could believe her saying "Shut your mouth and do your job - or I'll leave you on this God-forsaken planet"
Fuck Prometheus as a movie... and I seriously doubt we get a sequel where the chik who helped discover the cave painting in Scotland lands on the "Creator's" home planet and begins to ask "WHY!"
