I'm slow.

I just got the "Lord Farkward" thing from Shrek. Like, I saw it when I was 15 or 16 or so, and I thought it was supposed to be a lame play on FARTwad. Durrrrr.

Oh how I love cracked.com.

Via them:
"[T]he Shrek franchise has always been one hell of a great time, the sort of movie you can take your parents to and all have fun watching, and this looks like no exception. If you're a Shrek-hater, there's clearly not enough actual misery in your life, and you're just picking things randomly to vent at. You need more hobbies."

Can I have a failure, please?

So now they're calling Evan Almighty a failure? Yeah, I see where they're coming from. It was ridiculously expensive. Spider-Man 3 and Pirates 3 and Shrek 3 all opened with obscene amounts of money and Evan Almighty didn't. But if $32 million is a failure...may I please have a failure?

Dun dun dun dun dun dun dun dun dun...

...that's supposed to be the Darth Vader movies. Because several of the movie channels keep showing the Star Wars movies in chronological order (as in, from Episode I to Episode VI), and I've had the chance to observe two things. a) The leap in quality of the movie overall from Episode III to Episode IV is hilarious. b) While I think it was horrible of George Lucas to re-release the old movies with new special effects, the old special effects are indeed laughably bad.

Sorry I haven't posted anything of substance in a while, I guess. Life is busy. But I saw Shrek the Third and...loved it? Why am I liking all these summer movies that are getting such shitty reviews? I do hope they stop because I've thought every Shrek movie was very very good and the chances of them making a good fourth one seem extremely slim.
