laa, la laaaa, la laaaaaaaa...guess what?
today was Mel's birthday party. we saw Once Upon a Time In Mexico!!
how was it, ye may ask?
ok. basically it was a fun movie to watch. things exploded, yeah. music was good, hell yeah. guys were hot, well FUCK yeah.
the plot line was good. but confusing. there's too many people who aren't named or explained, so you're pretty much going "ok...so this Random Unnamed Mexican Dude is working for that Random Unnamed Mexican Dude, and now, that first R.U.M.D. is trying to kill that guy over there - EEEEE SQUEEE JOHNNY SWORE!!! - and, allrighty, that R.U.M.D. just shot that other R.U.M.D. but he apparently lived, geez Salma Hayek really hates wearing bras, huh? and that was a pretty cool explosion off to the left of the screen there, and OH SWEET LORD IS THAT THE GREEN GOBLIN, and what the HELL is going on with that cute Mexican chick and Johnny, dammit don't these directors EVER give their characters names anymore? and it looks like that third R.U.M.D. is dead now, and BLOODY HELL ANTONIO BANDERAS JUST DID A JANGO FETT WITH THAT GUN, and...gah, I give up. *just stares at brain-melting hottness*"
that's the problem with this movie. there's a HELL of a lot of characters, and since the movie is so short they almost all end up being underdeveloped. so, at the end, say, when Banderas is walking down the street wearing the Mexican flag, you kinda vaguely wonder whether that means he's now El Presidente. but you can't tell for sure, because you're not sure what happened to El OTHER Presidente, so you end up not even caring what it means and just thinking about how sexy Antonio Banderas really is. like, Mask of Zorro-level hottness. remember that movie? he was just WHOA. it's really too bad he had to go and do Spy Kids, that just ruined it all for me.
was I the only one who noticed how SLASHY Iglesias was with Banderas? seriously..."I thought you'd never come back" - yeesh. subtext much? plus, what happened to his voice? it sounded like he's going through puberty all over again. kept bloody breaking.
and Depp? oh, Captain...my Captain. I cannot explain to you people how heart-wrenching the whole thing with the eyes really was for me. tears, dudes, TEARS. the blood down his cheeks looked like tears - tell ya the truth, I think that's the real reason it was so sad. otherwise I woulda been all "eh, whatever, I know his eyes are still there really" and left it at that, but nope. "tears of blood", or something like that, and I just walked right into it. almost started bawling. which is weird, because he was quite asshole-ish (shooting the cook, being kinda mean to the kid, etc - though I doubt I've ever heard anything I found so funny as his first encounter with the little kid on the bike - "gracias, signor!" "fuck off!" just GREAT, man!! =D)
eh, in total it was a fun movie. not awesome, mind you...not even all that great. but pretty fun nonetheless.
yeah, then we went back to Mel's house. hung out, ate cake, played guitar, called this chick a lot of names, looked at pictures of Johnny Depp in drag...fun!!
and now I'm home, and surprisingly sleepy. bedtime now. sleep well, all of ye.
