Movies

Have you ever been extremely hyped up for a movie and then immediately let down by the lack of comedy, mind bending-ness, whatever that you were promised? Yeah, me too. I usually go into a movie expecting it to be a complete and utter shit storm, and throughout the movie I am pleasantly proven wrong. Well, let me tell you young'un, there is no bigger disappointment in this world than being promised to see god's gift to humanity in a theater, and finding out it's more like Britney Spears' contribution to the media. Awful. Just... awful. Specifically, this happened to me with the movie "Clash of the Titans". This movie, which stars Liam Neeson and that guy from Avatar, was promised to be an orgasm to my eyeballs. What I found were enormous plot holes and melodramatic sequences. Ineffective sequences, at that. In this movie, the main character, Perseus, is the son of Zeus. Wait, what? Zeus? Isn't Perseus the son of Poseidon? Oh well, I can let that go. I'm sure there's some sort of cinematic value to changing the entire Greek mythological basis to this movie. So, the biggest threat that the mortals and gods face is the Kraken. A giant monster that comes from the see and looks suspiciously like an over-inflated Hulk. Wait.... hold up a second. Isn't the Kraken a giant squid that causes ship wrecks? Alright, Hollywood, you've gone too far here. You have put one of my favorite actors, Liam Neeson, and shoved him into a role that is hardly even relevant to the Greek mythology. Anyway, main point here, I was disappointed. And so, the meme for this post has to be the Look of Disapproval, as shown below.
