My picks for the weekend of November 18 – 20, 2011:
1. Breaking Dawn
2. Happy Feet
3. Immortals
4. Puss In Boots
5. Jack And Jill
It’s the week for sober, straightforward picks. I was going to put sandler as 4 and puss as 5, but6 then I remembered just how much the cat is holding on. it may even be #3.
Oh, and let me be the first to congratulate Andrew for picking Tyrannosaur as his number one pick on his voice mail.
Words cannot describe how disappointed I was that Tyrannosaur has nothing to do with Tyrannosaurs.
1) Breaking Dawn: Part 1 – Twi-hard powers, activate! For my opinion on these movies, see The Oatmeal – http://theoatmeal.com/story/twilight
That description pretty well sums it up.
2) Happy Feet 2 – Cute dancing penguins. Of course kids will see it.
3) Immortals – Curse you Relativity Studios!
4) Jack & Jill – While this huge bag of un-modified suck is apparently putting butts in seats, I cannot comprehend how. Does Adam Sandler have a hugely expensive illicit narcotic habit to support? Or perhaps some paternity suits to settle? Oh, wait, he’s too old to have that problem; only Justin Bieber has to worry about that. Sandler has made good movies, and good funny movies before, even ones with crummy jokes, but the whole cross-dressing/simultaneous character thing has been done by funnier people (Eddie Murphy) better earlier.
5) Puss in Boots – While I agree with Pere Bete (Father Beast) that Puss has legs, I think it will lose more ground to the rise of Happy Feet’s dancing penguins than Jack & Jill will lose to the fact that it is stupid.
And, as an addendum to my never-ending disgust with Twilight, I add the following quote, often attributed to Stephen King, but not actually his:
“Harry Potter is about confronting fears, finding inner strength and doing what is right in the face of adversity. Twilight is about how important it is to have a boyfriend.”
Tad- good idea re: checking. For all anyone knows I’m a bot.
Uriah- love that quote.
Pleased to be of service, BD. If you find the quote funny, check out the link to the Oatmeal. While rather profane, it does accurately describe Twilight.
Uriah- I did check out the link. I thought it was very funny (can’t speak to accuracy, having not seen/read any of the stuff. Fortunately 🙂 )
