Part I
- Try as I might (which is not very hard at all), I have little appreciation for Woody Allen. I mean, he's a very successful guy, but I just have no desire to watch any of his films (although I did once watch half of Vicky Cristina Barcelona, mostly due to my 'aesthetic appreciation' for Scarlett Johansson... He even managed to ruin that for me). I also have little interest in reading about his work, which is odd for me since I'll read just about anything film-related, or to talk about him whatsoever really.
- I do not like Anchorman: The Legend of Ron Burgundy. Sorry. I know, I know... it's a "travesty"... Really though? It's not. I hate Will Ferrell with a passion. The guy's annoying. As is Steve Carell, if slightly less so... (See? I'm talking in short sentences. I must really be unimpressed). The comedy is obvious-in-a-bad-way, and for a film I'd heard SO many people go ON and ON about... it's massively overrated. Did I mention that I hate Will Ferrell?
- I have not seen all of the Star Wars Trilogy. Don't get me wrong, I like them, and I appreciate their place in movie-making history, but it's just not my cup of tea. Plus I can get more than enough of the jist of the thing from a twenty-minute Family Guy remake (cue angry geek-mob). I do a great impression of Darth Vader though.
- I like Robert Pattinson. Ok, so this one might not really count, but despite some questionable performances (who can judge really, when he's mostly working alongside plank-of-wood-Kristen Stewart? Although man, what a lovely looking plank of wood...) I think the guy's alright. He was pretty good in Remember Me. Plus - the real reason I like him - he's a bloody good singer. Look him up!
- I think that Tremors is one of the most unintentionally-genius pieces of film-making ever to grace our second-rate TV channels. I spent the entire duration praying that Mindy (Lex from Jurassic Park) would meet some disgusting and humiliating end. To those who haven't seen it: Rent it now. Or wait for it to come on ITV3. I hope you're open minded! And to those who have seen it: You know you all loved it too.
