It’s official: I’ve lost my mind.
I feel like I kind of painted myself into a corner with this week’s story arc. I mean, once you have your characters sitting in a giant cup of soda, you’ve gotta carry it through to it’s natural conclusion, you know?
Things are beginning to shape up movie-wise. I think all we have is this weekend and then the slump will be over. All I have to say is thank God there wasn’t a baseball strike because people would have found no solace in the nation’s movie theaters. They probably would have taken to hunting man for sport just to stave off the boredom.
Is anyone planning on seeing Swimfan this weekend? I can save you some time. It’s just like Fatal Attraction except with teenagers and more chlorine. Do yourself a favor and rent the original Glenn Close/Michael Douglas thriller. It won’t be IGNORED, people.
What about this weekend’s other new release, City by the Sea. They’ve got a good cast lined up for this one. DeNiro and Frances McDormand are on board. Unfortunately, the list of movies DeNiro has done that are just like this is as long as my arm.
You know, for a web comic that advocates movies, I’ve sure been bashing them a lot lately. Ah, well. I know what I’m doing this weekend. Going to see Tool tonight and tomorrow… I’m going to the zoo. Yup.
I’ll be back later.
