I may have been rushing it a bit.

seren_ccdI'm back at work. And I'm a little exhausted. Even though I rested quite a bit yesterday, I'm feeling some major bone-deep weariness. Partly due to all the personal stuff I've been going through, partly because the company/organization I work for has decided to completely change it's modus operandi. And not tell their employees about it, except in tones of 'Why didn't you know this already? Aren't you mind-readers?' and 'Oh, you thought we were here to help people? Ahahaha, no. We trawl the internets for companies' information now.' Yeah.
Can I please have a do-over? I'd like it to begin last June, I think. June 6th. Yeah, that would be a great date to try this all over again.
In other news, I watched two movies yesterday: Babylon AD and Jonah Hex. Spoilers, ahoy!
Well. I liked the premise of Babylon AD. I'm a sucker for semi-post-apocalyptic films and really, it's not like I was expecting great things from it. (Vin Diesel is generally enough for me) BUT!
1. There is no killing of Michelle Yeoh! EVER! Especially, no killing of Michelle Yeoh in a stupid, stupid way that does not advance the plot and then NEVER MENTIONS HER AGAIN AFTER SHE PLAYED A CRUCIAL ROLE. Do. NOT. DO IT.
2. WTF with the ending? This was seriously sent through the choppiest of editing. I mean, WHAT? Wow.
Now, Jonah Hex.
Dear Movie people,
You have a cast of not-untalented actors. (re: Josh Brolin, John Malkovich, Michael Fassbender, Aidan Quinn, Gob from Arrested Development and Wes Bentley. Actually, in writing this list: WHERE THE HECK ARE THE WOMEN? Megan Fox kind of counts.)
Why did you feed them the scenery? I mean, really.
At least John Malkovich and Michael Fassbender looked like they were having fun. Fassy does crazy-Irish wonderfully well.
Anyway. The premise and concepts behind the film are actually quite fun. I love a gothic western, with hints of animation and fun imagery. But, why so much suck? You've got the ingredients! Why can't you make it work?
Sigh.
Movie industry, if you wish for me to continue to watch films, you really must improve.
Sincerely,
seren
PS. More Michael Fassbender is never a bad thing. Just FYI.
Why do I even bother watching movies anymore?
Pride and Prejudice tonight. Maybe. If I don't collapse the second I walk through the door.
So TIRED.
