Watched "23" tonight. Three hours of gratuitous sex with 20 minutes of poorly executed weak conspiracy theory. Sorry, 23 minutes of crap numerology. I can't say I'm surprised after realizing it was a Joel Shitmakker.
Ultimate Jaburg53: There was gratuitous sex in The Number 23?
Uschi: yeah, like 23 incidents of such (we watched unrated, thinking it was the director's choice, later realizing our mistake that it just meant more sensationalistic crap)
Ultimate Jaburg53: I never would have guessed it from the trailer Ultimate Jaburg53: Jim Carrey nudity Ultimate Jaburg53: Kinda makes me sick a bit
Uschi: He toned up a little, and didn't talk with his butt-cheaks.
Ultimate Jaburg53: Where is the fun in that?
Uschi: heh. well, 'know how in his comedies he pretends to cry and does that little lip-quiver thing? He did that in a dramatic (loose definition of the term) moment.
Ultimate Jaburg53: Ha. Ultimate Jaburg53: I bet they send it for Oscar consideration.
Uschi: No, it's really crap. There are lines like, "I *used* to be good... but NOW i'm BAAAD."
Ultimate Jaburg53: How did it end?
Uschi: killer goes to jail, after a brief scene where the chick trys to convince him "he's a new person!" and ignoring the guy that's been in prison for years. Uschi: It's totally weak. The begining sucks 'cause they fail to make us give a shit about the characters before the characters are conflicted mentally and spiritually -- we never know the norm that is to be deviated from. Uschi: middle sucks 'cause it's so so weakly written (like that line I mentioned). It's like the worst quality pulp fiction you can imagine, based on loose numerology connections that are so contrived as to be retarded.
Ultimate Jaburg53: You didn'y buy this did you?
Uschi: the end is bollocks because they take 30 minutes to hammer all the little bits so far down your throat that a bug would have a hard time missing all the "nuances" Uschi: NO! ha ha! No, Netflicks.
Ultimate Jaburg53: Thank goodness.
Uschi: no kidding! Uschi: it was foul filmmaking.
Old men, fear me! You will shatter under my ruthless apathetic assault!
