This is M.B.
Jun. 9th, 2007 10:09 pmSaw Ocean's 13 with the usual suspects. It was okay, definitely better than the second one. Still some far fetchedness in there though.
Also finally hunkered down and watched Point Break. Again, it was okay. Its nowhere near the level of Die Hard or Lethal Weapon or other action flicks, I think. I mean, mebbe if you're like into surfing or the "extreme" lifestyle you might think its cooler than it is. But I would say XXX was more "extreme", and Drop Zone was more exciting. Heh, and I'm not sure if its because one of Keanu's early works, so his acting is less polished (not that he's so great even now), or if it was an acting choice because he's trying to be like a surfer, but that was some terrible acting at parts.
And what's up with bringing his football career? Crockett on Miami Vice was also a "famous" college ball player. What's this fascination with making the cop protagonist some ex college ball star back then? But ha, I didn't realize Keanu's character's name in the movie "Johnny Utah". Ah, that's always an amusing action movie cliche, having part of the heroes' name be like a city or state. Like "Nick Memphis, FBI". Though "Cole Trickle" of Days of Thunder and "Bo Laramie" of Paparazzi are equally hysterical names. Though you can't beat "Harley Davidson and the Marlboro Man" having guys named Harley and Marlboro. Of course, my all time favorite name is "Tex Colorado, the Arizona Assassin".
Oh, does it make me some kind of pervert that I think Jessica Alba asking Paul Rudd to buy her a pony in the trailer for the Ten is kinda hott? And could there be any more people in this movie?
So I was talking with![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
clevemire about Jericho being renewed after CBS got all those bags of nuts, but he thinks its too little too late from VM. I hear crazed fans bought up every Mars bar in the country to send to the CW? But why do people talk like this is some sort of new thing? Didn't Roswell get saved from the brink when crazed fans sent in a bunch of bottles of tabasco sauce? It would be cool if VM did get renewed though, if only to get a more satisfying resolution. It sounds like June 15 is the true deadline for the show's renewal or cancellation?
