I Miss The Dark Knight

Do you? Do you miss The Dark Knight? It occurred to me on the bus this morning that it was a year ago last Saturday that the wonder that is The Dark Knight graced the screens of movie theatres all over North America. And it was a year and a week ago tomorrow that I saw it for the first time. I remember the weeks leading up to it. I remember making t-shirts with my husband. I remember message boards a-plenty. I remember being excited. I remember being more excited about the opening of this movie than about any that had come before it.

That’s what I miss. Keep reading…

So… yeah. I have no words. I mean really, I have no words. I’ve been trying to come up with something to say that is appropriate to how bad this is since the trailer was released earlier this week.

So the verdict is in. Transformers: ROTF(L) is abysmal. Apparently the shaky cam is worse. Apparently the plot is awful. So, the question is…. do I see it?

On the one hand, I say yes, for the sake of completeness I should go and see for myself what an abomination it is (illiterate African American robots and all) and on the other hand I think that’s 150 minutes of my life I can never have back. The inner debate rages on. I still haven’t seen The Hangover, so I might go see that instead. Or maybe remove all my fingernails. Or maybe just go sit in the park with a bucket of french fries and get mauled by seagulls. All of these things could potentially be better than seeing Ransforners: ROTF(L).

(PS: That is STILL not Ravage.)

I saw about 3 minutes of this in April and, while it looked kind of good, it didn’t catch my attention. It appears I wasn’t listening. So when my husband sat me down on Monday night to make me watch this I realized that I was wrong in my original assessment of this set of animated webisodes, because this series is made from 100% pure awesome.

I know that this is going to likely make me very unpopular but I’ve got something I’ve got to get off my chest. I hate Sacha Baron Cohen. Yes, he is brilliantly funny. Yes, he is incredibly talented. Yes, he is the first to truly innovate comedy in this decade. But he makes movies that hurt people and I just can’t get behind that. Keep reading…
