The title says it all...
Plenty movies have been seen but for some reason coming here, clicking "log in" and rambling nonsense has seemed like quite the enormous effort!
I shall do my best to try and get back into some sort of a routine of posting my reviews here... I know there must be hundred of you out there awaiting my next review! It will come... soon...

Remakes, Remakes, Remakes...
We all hate remakes, and if you don't I will come round to your house and bludgeon you with a dull instrument so I wanted to make a post proclaiming the latest three I've heard of, each of which I've made a Facebook group in order to try and rally a small army of "Space Monkeys" together to wreak havoc on hollywood!

Review Of Fight Club
See how this post is called "Review Of Fight Club"? That's because this is a review of a review of Fight Club. Specifically: this review.
The basic premise of this review seems to be to convince you that the first half of Fight Club is awesome and speaks wonders about the anti-establishment and anti-materialistic way of thinking that Fight Club so rightly tries to depict but goes on to critique the second half because of the way it shows those ideals being accomplished instead of dreamed, comparing them to terrorism and 9/11 style attacks on society!
Well I say the reviewer is a giant pussy-faced cunt! They're belief that the film is admirable for pointing out the Generation-X style depressions of loss of control and loss of identity and the idea that the "things we own end up owning you" and yet believing that when the movie makes the lead characters actually follow through with those dreams and take out the societal diseases that they see as being most responsible for the irresponsible and deplorable life we live just shows that they are exactly the kind of victim that the movie is depicting. They are the lame ass narrator who spends half the movie running around in his underwear rather than the cool Tyler Durden who has ideas, thoughts and is overall the success and everything the narrator wants to be. Truth is, most of us are more like the narrator than Durden but you'd think if you were to review Fight Club and pass as a human being with any kind of free thinking brain in your head you'd realize that, although Durden's way of life isn't exactly easy to pull off or socially acceptable, that it is his belief about life that is correct and not the narrator's IKEA-based reality.
In additon, comparing it to Office Space is fine but let's face it: What questions Office Space began to try to think about answering, Fight Club answered in the opening scene.
And finally (Sorry, this is a disjointed review, whatever) the cock-knocking bitch-hog that wrote the review seems to be of the naive opinion that because the film, and specifically the Fight Clubs themselves within the film, center mainly around a male cast that this means the ideas behind the film only mean anything to men... like a woman has never felt a compulsion to buy a product because they feel it will "complete them" and later (or even at the same time) realized that they don't need the product and were conned by society to want it? In actual fact this part of the many ideas put forward in the film (And possibly among the most prevalant) probably affects women more than men, in general. Stop talking out your ass, reviewer!
This review gets a mere 2 smiley's and one of them is only because it inspired me to want to watch Fight Club again.

Movie Thoughts: Tim Burton To Direct "Alice In Wonderland"?
So I just heard that Tim Burton is set to direct a remake of the classic tale, "Alice In Wonderland"!
What's up?
Did he run out of merchandise to hawk at Hot Topic?
No, but seriously, much as the idea of a Burton directed Alice In Wonderland might be whimsical and wonderful. Colorful yet gloomy. Gothic and blah blah etc. Isn't it just about the most predictable thing you could ever come up with?
It's like hearing Stephen Spielberg has decided to direct an epic war movie or Johnny Depp decided to star in a Burton film (I hear he may be the Mad Hatter, how original, I would never have thought of putting him in that role... ever...)
Come on, Tim! Have a little creativity! Do something we don't expect!
It's one thing for Spielberg to churn out epics or Michael Bay to make a film full of slow-motion explosions (or for him to butcher a bunch of classic horror films by opting not to cast Freddy Krueger as Freddy Krueger! WTF?!(By "Freddy Krueger" I mean "Robert Englund, of course)) but Tim Burton, at one time, was a somewhat inspiring and original craftsman and although I'm sure the film will be enjoyable enough it will, alas, fill me with sad, sad, CGI tears.
Do something unpredictable, please!

Movie Thoughts: David Lynch and Werner Herzog together
I made a video and in the video I discuss with myself the implications for mankind if David Lynch and Werner Herzog were to create a film together... well, maybe not the implications for mankind but I sure do discuss those two...
I also briefly make some sort of a review(ish) for "Lynch", a documentary about David Lynch. I'm not going to give it a rating out of 5 though because I'm still not 100% sure whether it was trying to be funny or not...
