Ranty Movie Review

[kelly_jones]

Over the weekend I saw two films. Both seasonal blockbusters, both fantasies, both based on British children's literature, both frequently sexist, both out to teach me a lesson about good overcoming evil. Harry Potter on Saturday, Narnia on Sunday. I enjoyed both films, failed to be truly dazzled by either one, and can't help comparing them. Narnia

Just to add that I watched some of Alexander. Talk about needing pants. Bunch of Generals and Warlords in Skirts that would make my mother stutter if I wore them. Really they can't be good for keeping the reproductive area functioning well. Seriously I just looked at those short skirts and wondered how they made any babies.

Also, Angelina gets hit by a man in this one.

Bothered me on many levels this movie, mostly on the who is this Rhys-Davis and why haven't I noticed him in the movies I've seen him in.

The movie we saw is still the best yet this season. Hope you are reposing well.

Alexander: Definitely in need of pants! But the ancient Greeks were very into men's legs & butts and thought smaller penises more attractive than large ones. Ergo, miniskirts: show off the legs & maintain constant shrinkage

Sin city will cure her crush.
I saw Narnia prt 1 yesterday. When they woke up on the dead lion I laughed thinking of this conversation.
Anyhow, I want a time machine/literary travel machine.

Sin City: cool look, heaps o' tired sexist stereotypes. That film might indeed cure her crush
