two dumb movies in a row.

borat

i know i know, a year after everyone else...

i actually had high hopes for this because i thought the borat segments on ali g were hilarious.

but i dunno...i think hanging a road trip plotline around the sequences during which regular americans humiliated themselves by doing and saying unbelievably stupid things was a problem. like borat works better if you know less about him, because he's not the point---he's a situation.

it was just----ech.
i didnt hate it, i thought parts of it were funny, one or two were really funny.
so i dont mind the period of my life that i spent watching it.

seeing other people

if you're going to make a bad film, the commit to it and make a REALLY bad film, god damn it.

i couldnt even make myself hate this movie.
each passing vanilla minute of it. i wanted to hate it.
but it just wasn't worth it, and so it didnt even give me a period of really hating something.

it was the dialogue....it wasn't bad--it wasn't great or insightful or anything else--but it wasn't bad.
it seems that the dialogue got all the attention, tho--not the characters who say the dialogue, not the quality of the acting that animated the characters, not the film-making, not the film.

this film sucks but its too boring to loathe---too vanilla----not worth the effort.

it just kinda sits there.
so did i.
and so would you.
