A night at the movies
Aug. 14th, 2005 12:48 amI was going to write a big bullet-pointed post, about many far-flung topics, but instead I am going to go to bed because I am tired and (for reasons which I will explain later) also sore and headachy. Instead of rattling on, I am just going to say, quickly, HI I MISS YOU, and then go on to write a brief open letter.
Dear Michael Bay,
You had a chance to make The Island a smart and edgy film, and there were several places within its framework that you could have veered off into another direction and seamlessly directed it away from the shallow fugitive film it turned into.
You could have, but you didn't, and I am so glad. It was much more fun this way. And the stars were so unbelieveably gorgeous that the less in the way of plot or sense or cleverness to distract, really, the better.
Good call.
Love,
me.
PS The scene with the nail gun holy shit dude.
