Rant
Today was meant to be the day that I began some thoughts on 1 Cor 12-14.
But you may have to wait a day or two extra I'm afraid.
Because I have to rant.
Hayley and I got a dvd the other night.
Unfortunately, I can't boast an epiphany like my brother with 'Once'.
We got out the third in the Pirates of the Caribbean trilogy. We had seen the first 2 and we thought nothing could suck as much as the second one. We were wrong.
Now I know, it's not the sort of flick known for it's depth etc etc etc - but I thought it would be at least watchable!
My Rant is as follows:
- The plot was so muddled I think it may have technically made sense if you plotted the think on a flow chart, but to the average watcher - it was just bizzare (And I'm not one of those guys who doesn't get movies)
- Some characters where used as the premise for whole sub plots and then they die or just disappear and . . .that's it?!
- Weird things never got explained and so continued to make no sense once the movie ended.
I know I may be expecting too much, but all I ask for is for a writer (or writers) to earn their millions of bucks. Just make the damn thing make SENSE for crying out aloud! It's not that hard!
AAAGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
Well, rant is over. I learnt my lesson though - more art house for me. Sure, they are in french and you see peoples bottoms, but at least you get the feeling that the guy who wrote it actually cares that you are spending your bucks to go see it.
