This is true! But in Elf I felt like she was the same Zooey Deschanel that she is now, if you know what I mean
I only watch the first season and a half because my ex made me

So I watched The Hobbit...what a nothing of a movie.
Just...shameless, shameless padding of the story. They stretch even the dumbest action, like lemme tie my shoe, into a 20 minute thing that they think is funny. And they really think they found a new Aragorn. They really think this is the new fellowship and we'll like. It's just this generic lame gang of dwarves.
I'm a huge Hobbit fanboy, but I can see exactly where you're coming from. They tried to make the movie as accurate to the book as possible, and they did -- it's actually remarkable how well they did. However, in order to do it, they needed to streeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeetch the living hell out of crap. It made the movie drag in a lot of places.
I don't know if it was Peter Jackson's doing, or New Line Cinemas, but they took a 310 page children's novel and decided to stretch it over three movies/nine hours. You can sit down and read the book from cover to cover in less time than that. It's also aimed at a different audience -- it's easy to see with the dwarf goofiness, slapstick humor, and Radagast. They tried to turn it serious again when they were in Rivendell... and then Bombur would do something stupid and it's back to kids... and then they talk about the Morgul Blade and the tone is serious again... which way are you taking us, Pete?
Honestly, it's sort of the same problem that Star Wars encountered. The Star Wars trilogy was epic, dark, sinister, great dialogue, amazing battles, you name it... and then Episode I comes out and you have some kid yelling "YIPPIEEEEEEEEE" as he zips around on a podracer while Jar Jar Binks sticks his tongue out and makes fart noises. It's the same world (or galaxy), but it's not, you know?

I can take a hint. Lex a zombie. I give up. 
Wrote a response to Chester/I guess review of The Hobbit on my phone...closed the tab.
Write a new one on the computer, did it again.
The Hobbit was just the first half hour of the next movie, with 2 hours of fantasy talk and unfunny sidekicks adventures to juke the stats.
And that was just what I was thinking, it felt like the first 2 Star Wars prequels.

Don't know if anybody else started watching it but I"m digging CBS' latest cop drama Golden Boy with my boy Chi McBride. Think it's like 3 or 4 eps in. Pretty pretty good. New ep @ 10pm
Project X was not bad. Enjoyed the escalated climax Flamethrowers, X, the ******, etc.
Dudes not loving Zooey are missing out.
Caught 3rd ep of Vikings on demand. Held back cuz it's on the History Channel but it still really good but maybe it's just my love for history.
Hell's Kitchen is back! Time for lulz

Killing Them Softly...don't do it.
I promise you, it's not worth watching. You won't even remember you saw it. It doesn't even feel like a movie.
It feels like someone just cut out random pieces of the D-plot from the first season of a "just okay, but I wouldn't recommend to anyone" new HBO show.
It's Drive's ugly big brother who doesn't like music. Like take everything bad you've ever heard about Drive, and just...all of that. And to be honest, Brad Pitt's a supporting character. Nothing is the main character. Beating the theme over your head is the main character. I think they wanted to do something with the economic crisis like what the 25th Hour did with 9/11. But their idea of subtlety is having a TV or radio with the 08 Obama election on in every other scene. And for some reason, they thought they could get by without characters...or good dialogue...or tension...plot...a story that could last longer than 20 minutes?...colors?
It's slower paced than The Killing...I mean Justified has better stories than this every week.
Ray Liotta's in it...James Gandolfini....the cinematography...top notch...yeah, you won't care about any of that..
The movie's like watching a new episode of Breaking Bad, on mute, and pausing it every 5 minutes, cuz a bitter old truther needs to drop knowledge on you, until you just give up and leave.

Watched Arbitrage...I mean who looks for Richard Gere? It took me the longest to realize he and Richard Dreyfuss weren't the same person, but he was really good in this for what it was. And Nate Parker...this dude did work. This is a very simple movie. It's a polished up episode of Law and Order with a little House of Cards mixed in. There's nothing really special about the movie except the cast, but Nate pulls the whole thing up with him. This dude needs to work more.
Susan Sarandon was good. Tim Roth...nailed the New York cop part, accent and all. If I didn't know he was British, I wouldn'ta thought twice. Sound of My Voice sonned my Brit Marling hate...back with a vengeance. That face/voice 1-2 :x She's the new Kirsten Dunst to me.
I liked it, though. It's not Michael Clayton, but what is? That's the best white collar movie of the last decade for me. I think I expected something like that or Margin Call and didn't really get that. But Arbitrage was a good flick. Maybe not as good as Lincoln Lawyer, but around there. Gere and Parker were really good.
and uh...watch That's My Boy...I didn't hate it..
Like don't get me wrong...it's dumb as hell...but man...there is just something to be said about tone and composition. That's it. You can be as stupid as you want, but there's a way of directing your dumb movie, that makes me wanna vomit and makes my brain melt. This ain't that. This is directed like My Name is Earl the movie. I mean...this basically IS My Name is Earl the Movie. liked it better than Grown Ups easy. Yeah, it's another sign that Adam Sandler doesn't give a **** and Funny People was a lie, but I ain't mad. For once. It flowed. For whatever it was, it flowed. And it got me sometimes. Not bad.

Gotta say can yall believe Dr. Strangelove or: How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Bomb was filmed in the 1960s? Just the look of it always has me in awe thinking it must've been made in the 90s at least.
On another note, Anna Paquin is a really good actress.

Had no idea that Black Swan was that wild! Damn that was a good film! Natalie Portman KILLED that role. Thoroughly impressed!
