300 comes out today. I'll probably wait a little bit on it so that I can see it in IMAX over in Dublin without having to pack myself into sold out crowds. The reviews are still fairly glowing, but not 100%. I'm kinda sad though, this sorta movie makes me miss Mel. Mel and I have seen a lot of bad action flicks together, it would have been nice to see a good one together for a change.
Speaking of bad action films, I was surfing around the channel-sphere last night and found an Anna Nicole Smith movie. I was morbidly curious, so I tuned in for 'Skyscraper'. What I found was pretty close to the worst movie I had ever seen. The acting was abysmal, and not just Anna, but the whole cast was uniformly poor. None of them could hold a scene together. The writing was just plain tragic. And the production level was just short of a porno.
This probably sounds harsh, but seriously, why should Anna Nicole Smith be getting wall to wall coverage in the news? She was never anybody. She was a B level starlet train wreck who imploded, not unexpectedly, from too much booze and drugs. In the real world we are involved in a quagmire war, Bush wants to get us into another quagmire war, gas prices are skyrocketing, the middle class is being decimated, and on and on. Aren't there better things for reporters to spend their time doing then collecting semen samples from Anna's countless suitors to assess paternity?
Updated: Apparently I missed the gratuitous shower scene with Anna which would have made the movie. Oh, well.
Updated again: Mel will be in town next week so I will be seeing 300 with him! Woo hoo!
