Sigh
Two rather unflattering and scathing (though not surprising) reviews of the new lucas arts clusterfrack have suddenly vanished from AICN without an explanation or a note (though in their hurry to cover their tracks there's still reference to the second review in the 'popular talkbacks' section)...without an explanation that's even slightly plausible provided the only one i can think of is that lucas arts didn't like the reviews and asked them to remove them, and they obliged, which is just disappointing.
It looks LAME!!! Not only does the plot sound boring but the animation for it is downright horrible. As if this is 1995. Have they not seen what Pixar has been doing for the past 4-5 years? Why would you do animation and not have it visually appealing? Isn't that the whole point of going that route? More flexibility and more visual effects?!
Saw Pineapple Express last weekend....eh. Not worth the price to go to the movies and probably not even worth renting. There were a number of funny parts and it might be a persons movie if they don't want to think much...but it was just too long. If your target demographic is teenagers with short attention spans, stoners with short term memory loss, and 20 year old drunk frat boys you might want to not make it 2 hours long. Plus the stoner duo thing, while done well by Franco and Rogen, needs to only happen every 4-5 years. They certainly are no Cheech and Chong, Jay and Silent Bob, or Craig and Smokey.
Saw Rambo (finally) last night on Blu Ray and I can't wait for some more action movies to come out on BR. While the movie itself was bad I love Blu Ray.
