note: when susan talks about movies she tends to use ALL CAPS A LOT
so mikey insisted that i only do fashion but fuck that. i’m a huge movie buff and i’m going to talk about some movies that i’ve seen recently… ergo it’s SUSAN’S MOVIE REVIEW TIME! for those of you that do not read my blog on xanga, i tend to have the taste of an 7-27 year old male when it comes to movies. my favorite genres are action, action/adventure, comedy, weird (indie stuff etc.), and then drama. i love movies where chicks kick ass, but mostly i love movies that get you to think, escape, or especially think about it even days/months/years afterward (case in point: matrix trilogy, gone baby gone, frailty, crank (that’s right i think about that shit homey!), donnie darko, etc.)
ANYHOO moving on, i finally got to see richard kelly’s SOUTHLAND TALES (came out last tuesday on dvd - woohoo! only waited like a year to see this). richard kelly is the creator of donnie darko (writer/director). apparently southland tales did very badly w/ the critics but THAT DON’T MEAN SHIT TO ME. i read on imdb that it placed last in cannes :-/ fuck cannes.
see the rock above? well i love the rock, the rock ROCKS. also in this movie is seann william scott (was in RUNDOWN with rock, LOVED IT), sarah michelle gellar (LOVE HER! HUGE BUFFY FAN I AM!), mandy moore, bunch of people from SNL, the guy that keeps saying “inconceivable!” in the princess bride (also a fuckin’ classic), and more. stellar cast. I’m not going to ruin the movie for all y’all with spoilers but I am going to describe the movie in 3 words: I DIG IT. HEEHEE. ok it’s definitely weird but that’s what richard kelly does. honestly i have to watch it again a few times to get it but i get most of it, and what i got of it, I LIKED. actually the movie is quite perfect for telling a plausible story in our current political climate, if you ask me. most people think everything in movies is fake and i’m on crack, BUT SERIOUSLY PEOPLE - THIS SHIT COULD HAPPEN! i’m listening to the soundtrack right now, kelly is also known for kickass soundtracks (who could forget the rendition of it’s a mad world from donnie darko?). i also tend to love guy ritchie’s soundtracks, and the one from the movie LONDON rocks too (love that movie too - has jessica biel and fire guy from fantastic four in it).
on a side note, can’t people see that NO COUNTRY FOR OLD MEN is totally the emperor’s new clothes? i mean WHAT THE FUCK? yes i liked javier but everyone w/ a bowl cut just looks cool. I’m going to spoil this movie cuz it’s been out forever and if you haven’t seen it yet and don’t want to know then STOP READING HERE:
1) ok thanks for dragging me along for 1.75 hrs and then not showing josh brolin die. THAT TOTALLY BITES AND ISN’T ARTISTIC.
2) thanks for coming out of left field w/ the last scene w/ his uncle/pops whatever i don’t give a crap who that was cuz it MADE NO SENSE. and what the hell were they talking about?
3) why are people so stupid in movies? HE SHOULDA LEFT THE AREA IMMEDIATELY w/ MOOLAH AND WIFEY.
4) now i totally totally dig tommy lee jones, but seriously how many long minutes do i need to see of him squinting off in the distance looking constipated?
i can go on and on, but booboo and i totally did not dig this movie, and we are definitely in the minority but that’s ok b/c remember, IHBTTY!

Yeah boo, NO COUNTRY FOR OLD MEN SHOULD BE ….THIS MOVIE SUCKS UNLESS YOU’RE AN OLD FART WHO LOVES RANDOM SHIT THAT MAKES NO SENSE! As for Southland Tales, I’m in agreement with wifey about the movie, it was good, but there was something missing. Can’t put my finger on it, but it was lacking a certain somethin somethin! Well, for one, it needed a bit of nudity. If you got Sarah Michele Gellar as a porn star, that’s a freebee for buffy booty and boobie. Come on now, don’t tease us, the movie is confusing enough, show us a little nipplage. We dumb men need a break from using our brains for so long, trying to figure out what the hell is going on. If you’re gonna take on that role you need to back it up with some flesh! As for the plot, it was very good, keeps you wondering what in the world of girl scout cookies is going on, what’s going to happen, and promotes plenty of useless discussion afterwards. That’s one thing about R. Kelly, not the one who went into the closet with Tom Cruise on South Park, but the writer of this tale that is opposite of the land north. He sure loves to leave shit open and keep you wondering, WTF?!?!?! Do I really understand this movie, or am I just making shit up so I seem like I know what’s going on and to shut my wife up with these incessant questions about shit I’m really not sure about? JK Boo, I love discussing movies with you. You’re my #1 movie squeeze! You’re like a broken engrish Dwayne Johnson, YOU ROCKA! Overall 2 thumbs up with a confused face. It also needed a little more action. Dwayne Johnson needs to kick someone’s ass if he’s in a movie. Twiddling his fingers in a retarded manner just don’t cut it. I need an eyebrow raise with a bodyslam to get my juices flowing. Ok, that’s enough of booboo’s thoughts.
Also, for you dudes or chicks who like women, if you want to see a bit of Lucy Liu skin, check out Rise Blood Hunter. That cross eyed Chinadoll shows a her breastassisiss!
10,000 B.C. - Entertaining with poor acting and accents. Also needs nudity. Cave women titty is HOT!
