Does. Not. Want.: Movies addendum

June 11, 2008

The trailer for The Love Guru is no funnier the second time you see it. If anything, it's even more irritating. No laughs whatsoever, but plenty of off-putting moments to go around. Take your pick: Adult Mike Myers head on child's body? Hitting a little person with a hockey puck, then holding him up and giving an Oscar acceptance speech before dropping him hard? The idea of a leering mustachioed freak being some sort of sex idol/teacher? It's probably only a few minutes but seems endless.

What a movie review, thanks for sharing with us.

The trailer for The Love Guru is no funnier the second time you see it. So you better watch this movie, and you give a review.

I never had the chance to see its trailer, so I better watch out.

Books that do not suck

Evan Wright: Generation Kill
One reporter's boots-on-the-ground level perspective of the invasion of Iraq, embedded with the Marine First Recon platoon. There are deliciously juicy parts involve the shocking incompetence of many officers, but there's plenty of more sober sections as the soldiers realize that their role as saviors of the Iraqi people isn't nearly as clear-cut as their leadership wanted everyone to believe. (****)
Paul Neilan: Apathy and Other Small Victories
Wonderfully nihilistic, mean-spirited story of a man whose life is spiraling downwards rapidly. In a change from similar books, he's not a nice guy trapped in a situation he didn't create - he's a jackass who's almost completely responsible for the many, many horrible paths that his life takes. Very, very funny stuff here for those who can handle it. (*****)
