Come on of course Cowboys and Aliens was going to terrible. They took a funny story and tried to make a serious movie out of it and that's why it fails on so many fronts. Plus Ford is phoning in everything now just like Pacino and De Niro.

Hanna was good but disappointing mostly of what Blankfist mentioned already. She takes out a whole base and suddenly shes scared of 3 guys and 1 woman in the finale? Ninja please.

Hanna with its fairytale bullshit was really weak as well. I was hoping it would have more of a Bourne Identity feel about it. Am not 5 give me complex storylines not rooted in fairytale bullshit. By the 3rd act all I wanted to do is fucking leave because the story started to fall apart and retcon everything they built up in act 1 and 2. Still good but it's not Leon or Nikita.

Overall this whole summer has been shit for movies.

I didn't have a problem with the ending. It was a bit magical. She was in the fairytale house and the witch came to get her. Although Hanna was bad ass, she was completely freaked out psychologically by confronting the witch, so not functioning well. I thought it was a pretty good ending actually. Cate played evil really well in this one.

>> ^blankfist:

I saw Hanna a while back. It's really well done. And the tone is exceptionally great for this kind of story. It's really good. Or at least the first two acts are really good. By the 3rd act I felt like the stakes were lowered too much. In the very last big scene I never felt the main character was threatened.
SPOILER ALERT
Do NOT read further if you don't want the ending ruined.
@dag, how'd you feel about the ending? Up to that point we've seen what Hanna is capable of: fighting troves of baddies with guns and kicking ass all the way. I mean, she's the perfect assassin, right? Then by the end it's just her versus Cate Blanchett's character. Sure, Cate is armed with a gun, but she's so out matched it's a deflation from the action-packed ride we were just on.

For some reason - My memory of this comment had you recommending "Friends With Benefits" and I was about to give you all kinds of shit for what a terrible movie it was, as I just saw it. Thwarted. I hate his washboard abs with every fiber of my being.>> ^dystopianfuturetoday:

Cowboys and Aliens sucked and sucked bad. Don't waste your money. We are in a small town at the moment that doesn't offer foreign films, so Hanna will have to wait, but we were pleasantly surprised yesterday by Crazy. Stupid. Love. Decent flick that starts off formulaic (but still funny) and then evolves into something pretty good. Recommended.
At $6 a ticket out here in MT, I've seen 6 movies in as many weeks. Back in Cali, where tickets are twice as much or more, I saw 1 movie in 7 months.

The first hint I got that Cowboys and Aliens would be a disappointment was Harrison Ford.

I'm such a bitch. But it's true.

Now Craig, get back to being the best Bond in decades.

Man. I spent the entire clip cringing in anticipation of the cowboy mocking his partner mercilessly but instead he just smiles sweetly.
I miss the 80s.

You gotta watch the show! It's all sorts of 80s/90s cheese but it's the product of David Lynch so it's anything but what you expect. Kyle MacLachlan is an experienced FBI agent, enlightened in the ways of the Tibetan monks and the "cowboy" is a simple but open minded sheriff who runs a secret police in Twin Peaks, California. Anyway, they're trying to solve a murder in a town with supernatural undertones. This show is all about the details.


I thought they were in Twin Peaks, Oregon? OR! REE! GON!

EDIT: Sorry, that was Teresa Banks. It's Twin Peaks, Washington.

Except, this show aired in the 90s.

Once...a Jimmy Dean sausage roll got 'lost' in my trunk in the middle of winter, it looked just like that when I found it in July.

Actually looks better than the original.


Definitely better than the comic. I downloaded that a couple months back out of curiosity. I think it was written by a 10 year old (and drawn by a 6 year old).
