I saw Logan just now and liked it a lot. I don't want to talk about it too much because it just came out and blah blah blah.
They might have overused the word 'fuck' a bit much, but it's fine since I know when my life falls to shit I tend to swear a lot, so it's pretty justified.
It wasn't perfect and it wasn't exactly what I wanted, but it was good nonetheless and worth seeing if you like Wolverine.
What I really want to talk about is some of those previews.
Power Rangers: Every Teenage Superhero Origin Story Movie Ever But Dressed Up in Nostalgia.
Ghost in the Shell: Fuck You.
Seriously, every new thing I see about GitS just pisses me off even more. I'm not even talking about having a white actress play Major. I've got no problems with that and neither does the original author.
What I've got a problem with is that Scarlett Johansson is just gonna do the same thing she does in every movie and dryly recite lines with a blank expression on her face while occasionally doing some flips and shit.
I heard that this Major isn't going to be Motoko Kusanagi, so maybe that's their excuse for having her be a shallow excuse for eye candy instead of the strong and awesome character that she is.
And you know everything else you liked about the original Ghost in the Shell? Yeah, like the philosophical questions it raises about stuff and the complex story arc of the Laughing Man and the government scandals and all that shit?
FUCK ALL THAT IT'S TIME FOR FUTURE ROBOT PEOPLE MOVIE STORY STARRING AMNESIAC SCARLETT JOHANSSON WHO IS NOW A TRAGIC PROTAGONIST FALLEN VICTIM TO WHATEVER CORPORATE/GOVERNMENT BULLSHIT THEY THREW TOGETHER!
I hope this movie is the biggest flop of all time and it stops Hollywood from attempting any more live action anime remakes for a very long time, but I know that it'll probably make money from foreign markets because god dammit of course it will no matter how much it sucks.
Who the fuck saw Snow White and the Huntsman and said, "yeah, that guy should be in charge of Ghost in the Shell"?
