Uuuuuuhg

Have you ever been watching a movie and within the first 15 minutes been so fed up with it you turn it off?  This happens to me quite a bit now since I have been subscribed to Netflix.  There are a lot of great movies and TV shows on the site, but there a lot of really terrible ones too.  Now some I know they are not going to be Oscar contenders but I do get a laugh or two out of spoof movies.  I was watching a spoof movie called Paranormal Whacktivity yesterday and I only got through maybe 10 minutes.  It was God awful.  There have been movies that people love, like The Royal Tenenbaums, and another Wes Anderson movie The Life Aquatic with Steve Zissou, that I turned off after a mere half hour.  Yet I loved his first two movies, Bottle Rocket and Rushmore.  There were movies I wished I hadn't paid to see at the theater as well.  Next Friday jumping to mind first.  Friday was hilarious, Next Friday was horrible, that was one movie I should have walked out on.  The Core was another groaner, as well as Ghost Rider: Spirit of Vengeance.  I went to that with a friend and we said on the way in, the first one was ok, the second one could either be a better movie and elevate the franchise or kill it dead.  Well Nic Cage, congratulations, you killed a franchise dead.  What are some of the worst movies you have only watched a bit of.  Let me know here.........

Jay and Silent Bob's Super Groovy Cartoon Movie

This movie was a brain child of Mr. Jason Mews.  He came up with the story and his pal Kevin Smith wrote the screen play.  So right from the beginning there are many recycled jokes from Mr. Smith's Jay and Bob movies from a time past.  Most should have stayed there.  The movie shows the origins of Jay and Bob's Super alter egos, Bluntman and Chronic.  This movie is basically one big dick and fart joke.  Not necessarily a bad thing if you are 12.  I am a huge, HUGE Kevin Smith fan. I will shell out my hard earned cash for anything with his name on it.  However I am glad I held off from buying this cartoon.  It isn't very good, I like the smodcast cartoons way better.  I think Jay should stick to acting, if you can call it that and keep the movie writing and story telling to Kevin Smith.  Very disappointed in this effort.

Ink Master

A new TV season is starting to descend upon us, and one of the first new season premieres tonight was Ink Master.  I have enjoyed the first four season and this season could be a fail or a huge win.  I hate when a show is going along smoothly and then producers want to fix things that aren't broken.  Miami Ink was my favorite tattoo show, until the show shifted focus from the tattoos and the stories behind them to the drama.  Drama between the artists and their petty fights over the dumbest shit ruins shows.  Again it happened by the end of the first season of New York Ink.  It started out alright, but by the Ami and another artist almost came to blows.  New York Ink went away for a year and came back and focused on the tattoos and the stories behind them. 

Last season Kyle Dunbar was voted by America and given a second chance to win Ink Master, he blew it big time.  He was getting passed off with the harsh critiques the judges were given him.  He thought one judge in particular was really harping on him, Chris Nunez.  So finally Kyle confronted Chris and then decided attacking him, and trying to fight him was a good idea.  Now this was something that was unexpected and the tension built up over weeks.  This season Spike wants the drama from the beginning by bringing in artists and their rivals to battle it out for Ink Master.  I am not sure if I am going to like this as much as past seasons, but I will still watch it, and probably enjoy the tattoos, and the competitions.  But the drama and the fighting is not for me.  If I wanted that I would watch Mauryu or Springer.
