22 Jump street

I liked the 5th gen at the end

Utterly hilarious! Lots of cameos (and Camaros), lots of "inside jokes" ("Hey, that looks like a big cube of ice!"), and plenty of raunch (not appropriate for every movie, but this a Jump Street movie... ). Two thumbs up!

Finally saw 21. It was alright. Maybe I'll check out 22 now.


Side note. Stay the heck away from 3 Days to Kill, Kevin Costner. I was so disappointed, and bored really, that I turned it off with about a half hour left because I just couldn't take it anymore.

But, I talked my buddy into going with me to see Transformers 4 one week from today. So pretty excited about that.

I'll second that warning... I'm a Costner fan, but 3 Days sucked so bad that "suck" should get a new definition, one of REALLY sucking, like a lot more than the way we've always thought "suck" to mean. The new "suck" should conjure images of this movie, and of some thing, like a leech or a land octopus or a warty slug, that sucks the sweat and grime off of the testicles of filthy farm beasts after six months of no rain and dusty, excrement covered animal parts.

Not only was the story lame, but the attempted sitcom- style father/ wacky teenage daughter shennagins sucked even the remotest possibility of viability out of this thing. Even the editing/ post production work sucked: I hit "rewind" a few times to see if I had actually heard words coming out of people's mouths, while their mouths were actually closed in the video. Like as if the sound editors were working seperately from the video editors, with both equally sucking on something, but not working. Just sucking.

I found myself hoping that the daughter would accidentally be shot or fall off of a train... or become a human shield for her dad, so he could at least think, "Well, I guess it WAS worth it keeping her around for this long!" On the other hand, maybe something like that DID happen, I don't know... like you, I couldn't bear to watch until the end. I was pissed that I had allowed so much sucking to suck already, and allowing more sucking would have only sucked more. So, I stopped watching it, and just THAT act alone made my ears pop, like a change in elevation, or an airplane flight, from the rapid and sudden unsucking of things. Stopping the sucking was the best part of this movie for me.
