So I saw zero dark thirty and I was pretty disappointed.
Probably six out of ten. around there.
Uhh, same writer and same director as The Hurt Locker.
However, despite the fact that Zero Dark Thirty was based on a real person,
The Hurt Locker turned out to be much better of a character study than Zero Dark Thirty.
Umm, I don't think it's going to win the Oscar.
If it does, I'll be disappointed.
Aah, whatever. The Oscars don't really matter much anyway.
Umm... I- I liked that they had the torture in there
and it was realistic and well done and, ya know, not too many movies would bother
Showing poop on the the guy's butthole and coming off of his leg to be sorta gross.
So I appreciated some things from this movie that
did things that other movies might not do. But at the same time it was really really
fucking long and not that much happened.
Umm, I don’t know if this is just because of the fact that
I saw it in a Canadian audience but as soon as they say the words
Osama Bin Laden in the movie everybody just starts laughing.
You know when shes just like "We're gonna go catch Osama Bin Laden"
and then everybody's like "HMMPH!"
Like, It's a punchline now. It's a punchline.
It's- it's...
The name is just so detached from reality at this point that
mentioning him is comical.
It's a punchline.
Any- any time somebody mentioned his name, especially when they were uhh...
(Phone Beeps)
The SWAT team at the end and he was like "Osama!"
Everybody just started laughing.
Umm...
The half an hour near the end where they actually did have the special ops
I know I said SWAT team.
I'm gonna get trolled by people being like
"You're not using the correct army definition."
Even though it has absolutely nothing to do my review.
Anyway, umm... That scene near the end
turned out to be quite good. I really really liked the way that
they did the lighting.
A lot of films, uhh, when they do a night time setting you can
sorta tell that they- they had a lot of studio lighting
and then just dimmed it in post production.
Whereas with this, it looked really natural.
Umm, in terms of the colours and the shadows and- and everything.
Umm, It was intense.
It had me like... Ya know.
I was- I was actively engaged in it during the last half hour.
I feel like that's how most people watch the movies, they were sort of,
ya know, just watching it and
not really one way or the other on the movie.
And then the last half hour completely wins them over.
But I'm not the type of person where I'll forget about the entire
first...
Like, eighty percent of the movie and just chalk it up to the last half hour.
Umm... I don’t like how...
They- ye- ye- ya know- you go in with the knowledge
that it's based on a true story and that's sort of the selling point to this movie
but at the same time, how are you supposed to ignore
little things like the helicopter crashing.
Did that actually happen? I don’t think that actually happened.
And that was kinda distracting in a movie
that's supposed to play off close to reality.
Like, we all know that they wouldn't have even had twenty minuets to half an hour to
pull off that operation. They would have been much quicker.
But I'm not going to complain about that.
I- I just-- There was a lot of talking
and it tried to sell itself as an action movie so uhh...
Its personal preference.
Didn’t- I didn’t dig it. I don’t know, maybe if I was in the United States
and maybe if I was all about freedom and not about,
ya know, communism, socialism, and- and being uhh...
devil worshipper up here uhh...
then maybe I might be a lot more emotionally attached
to the whole idea of catching Osama Bin Laden.
But that alone just wasn't a selling point for me
and I think that because of that, it didn't really
do it's job as an entertaining movie.
Umm, on my vlogs channel, which I'll link to right here.
I decided that I'm not gonna, like I don't need to do the whole like
"ask me questions!"
In one specific sort of event. So you guys can just fuckin' post video responses
and I'll answer them whenever.
Cause that’s basically what I'm gonna turn that channel into.
Is just a Q and A sorta thing. So... just do that
and there’s no real guidelines. Just ask away and I'll answer them and uhh...
Yap, yep, yep. Brrt brrt brrt pthhh*
Peace.
