The Amazing Monologue of Mreps and Muc

The End

This is it, the end. Its been quite a lifeless blog. Nobody reads it (a few do, like 1 or 2) and I'm a bit lazy to continue. Personal blogs are more of a hit with the masses but I have principles dammit and I will never ever do a personal blog. I already have a new blog harbouring upon the horizon and I guess I'll do that instead. Before this blog, there existed my other two blogs "Exploding Brains" about the future and "Episodes" about assassins. But those too were lifeless and I again got lazy.

To those that actually read my blog, thank you for taking the time to read upon my thoughts about movies and the like. I don't think I'll be permanently deleting this blog as I have become quite attached to it. Off I go, towards the end of it all.

And to finish off, a final quote by Herbal Kint from the Usual Suspects:

The greatest trick the devil ever pulled was convincing the world he didn't exist. And like that, poof. He's gone :)

Inception (Preview)

Directed by: Christopher Nolan

Written by: Christopher Nolan

Starring: Leonardo Dicaprio, Ken Watanabe, Joseph Gordon-Levitt, Ellen Page, Cillian Murphy

Release Date: July 16 2010

Why should you watch this movie:

1. Directed and written by Christopher Nolan
2. Mentally challenging
3. Not your average dumb as a block blockbuster
4. $200 million budget!
5. Its definitely worth the time and price

Not much information is divulged upon this film as its still kept tightly under wraps but Christopher Nolan who has done Memento (4th fav film of all time!), Insomnia, Batman: Begins and the Dark Knight (fav film of 2008!) is one who would make any film beyond brilliant. Pressures on him though to see if he can top the Dark Knight. All I know about Inception is; it is set within the architecture of the mind and should be 2010's film of the year.

Love is a Battlefield

Why does love exist? Is it an emotion? An illusion? Or just a fragment of our purported attempts to appear human? Whatever it is, it affects us like the bubonic plague. Here, here this post here, dedicated to those that have lost their love and have a hard time coping with reality. If your one of them, do not freight as I have the cure. COMEDY! Nothing like a good comedy to lighten up one's depressing day. Not included in this list would be romantic comedy which I think is shite (Howevr, not all romantic comedies are shite, just the bulk of them). Every film in this top ten does not contain any romance and therefore acceptable for all those people who have that one voice telling them to summon Krakatow.

10. Pineapple Express (2008)

Stand out moment: Watching people high on drugs do things that apply to people not high on drugs

9. I'm Gonna Git You Sucka (1988)

Stand out moment: Guy carrying fuck load of pistols and shotties gets asked by comrades, "Don't you think your carrying enough" to which he replies, "There's never enough" and then proceeds and slips and falls on his back triggering all those pistols and shotties to accidentally fire into his body. We're talking multiple rounds here. And he survives to ask, "Did we get that son of a bitch?"

8. Old School (2003)

Stand out moment: Fat guy ties brick to penis and tosses it to the ground from a two storey building as part of a "trust" initiation to the fraternity. Brick falls into open manhole.

7. Tenacious D: The Pick of Destiny (2006)

Stand out moment: Master Exploder dream sequence

6. Anchorman: The Legend of Ron Burgundy (2003)

Stand out moment: Fight scene between newscasters between comedy stars Will Ferrell, Vince Vaughn, Steve Carell, David Koechner, Ben Stiller, Luke Wilson, Paul Rudd and Tim Robbins

5. Monty Python and the Meaning of Life (1983)

Stand out moment: Find the fish

4. Hot Fuzz (2007)

Stand out moment: The final pop capping gang busting action comedy packed shootout

3. Ladykillers (2004)

Stand out moment: Guy proceeds to shoot other guy but revolver clicks prompting guy with gun to below, "What! No bullets?" while looking into the revolver's chamber. Accidentally clicks the trigger which releases the bullet. LOL!

2. Borat (2006)

Stand out moment: Two guys running around naked in a hotel

1. Monty Python and the Holy Grail (1979)

Stand out moment: The Rabbit of Caerbannog

There you have it. Top 10 films you need to watch to get over a broken heart.

Note: I was thinking of placing Shaun of the Dead, Knocked Up, Hot Shots, Top Secret, Superbad and Naked Gun but realise that they contain a bit of romance.

Observe and Report

I'm a big fan of Seth Rogen. Absolutely loved him in 40 Year Old Virgin, Knocked Up, Superbad, Pinepalle Express, Zack and Miri Make a Porno. This one however, I'm a bit divided. As a dark comedy, this is as dark as it goes. Let me start this one off by saying if it wasn't for the second half of the movie, I would have given this movie a 3/10. I felt tempted to take out the DVD but I stayed and thankfully the second half was the saving grace for the movie. Observe and Report tells the story of Ronnie Barnhardth (Seth Rogen) who as head of mall security finds his calling when a flasher terrorises Forest Ridge Mall parking lot. In an attempt to catch the perpetrator and win the girl of his dreams (Anna Faris), Ronnie and his rag tag team of security guards have to use their wits to beat the bad guy while having to compete with Detective Harrison (Ray Liotta). The premise seems simple enough but the one thing that makes this film stand out would be Rogen's character. He's a messed up complicated delusional incompetent guy who has all the makings of an underdog. Let me be a bit blunt here. In the first half of the film, Ronnie was unlikeable. Period. Throughout, the first half I was literally getting raped in my head continually spewing the "WTF" phrase over and over. I didn't get him. I just didn't like him.

Most of the first half looked and felt like shit. The editing was off, the jokes were off and even Liotta who should be a stand out was off. However, a big however, the second half seemed as if it was written and directed by an entirely different person altogether. Jody Hill who wrote and directed this film may have a split personality disorder. This being his second film, Hill shows some promise. In the second half, the film takes a darker turn. Everything falls apart for Ronnie who seems to be losing it as time goes by as he becomes increasingly delusional (due to not taking his meds anymore) and violent. The standout moment would be the confrontation between Ronnie and Harrision. There is a subtle message embedded within the film. You just have to find it. It really was interesting. And dare I say it, Observe and Report could be a smart movie (second half though).

Rogen brings an intensity into the character, you never know what he's gonna do. The relationship developed between Ronnie and his second in command, Dennis (Michael Pena) should be applauded as it brings up questions of what life is about and the principles that hold life together. Like I mentioned before, Anna Faris is in the movie. And here me right when I say I don't like Anna Faris at all as an actress. Although, some might say that she sort of fits the role of an annoying dumb as hell bimbo, I just don't like her. I don't know if it's real though but she has some big boobs.

Also included to the ending chase scene was my all time favourite song but covered by a different artist. I would have prefered if the used the original 'Where is my Mind' by the Pixies. Before I forget, there is some controversy surrounding the film, especially the date rape scene. But in my honest opinion, it was just part of the joke. Its nothing too serious. Overall, it was a very very interesting film but it would have been a much better film if the first half was half as good as the second half which supports the half of the other half's half. I give it a 6/10

Postitives: Second Half, Interesting analogy, Rogen's character, Where is my Mind

Negatives: First Half (Bad editing, Bad jokes, Just a normalised WTF stamp of approval)

Final Destination 4

I would say this once and only once, this movie was definately intended for a 3-D viewing. At the time, I lost the opportunity to do so and hence have instead watched it in 2-D. What can I say. I mean, what the fuck can I really say about this anus splitting testicle ripping dick castration piece of hellish shit. If you would remember my previous review of Transformers 2, you would that that would be as bad as it goes. I doth protest. This is the worst. I won't even waste my time reviewing this piece of crap and thus wasting my time. Instead I will offer ways to improve upon the series if God help us, they make another one.

Hence I give you,

10 Ways to Improve the Next Final Destination:

1. The people that get premonitions; explain why they're so special to get them and how
2. Go back to basics, over the top death scenes just don't cut it anymore
3. Play on human emotions like paranoia
4. Make the next one in space
5. Make the next one in space but through an underwater virtual device
6. Have Death fight it out with the victims in a game of Life
7. A cameo by Hades
8. A cameo by Zac Effron getting killed a gruesome death as soon as he comes on the screen. And make his character gay
9. Make the next one a comedy (this one does it so well)
10. Don't make another one

A movie as shit as this should not have existed. It has. May God have mercy on us all.

Updating

Man oh man am I slacking. Haven't had a very consistent update action have we now me droogies. Right, right?

The root of the problem lies in the assignments. Oh how ist thy assignments horrifyingly anal. That and coupled with the arrival of a magnitude of video games. Just to let you all know (even if you fuckers don't give a shit, I'll still say it cause its my fucking blog), I managed to complete all the Riddler's challenges in Batman: Arkham Asylum! All 240! WOOHOO!

Updating will commence starting with a few movie reviews. I realise that this particular post comes too close to being personal and we don't want that shit now do we? I don't want you to know any more about me as much as I don't want to know whether or not you createns are masturbating to this awesome post.

Indeed, people do bother me so with such questions as; why is your blog not a personal blog? Only girls have personal blogs. Real men have blogs to critic every aspect of life. Honestly, do you motherfuckers really want to know about my love life, toilet life, secret agent life or as we delve onward, superhero life? NO! You want cutting edge vernacular shit and if you wanted something personal you would have gone and killed somebody close range while saying; Its always personal motherfucker! Please comment though or maybe I'll have a vote. Should I or should I not add a more personal touch to my blog?
