What's YOUR most depressing "Movie 43" experience?
What was the most depressing thing about your experience with this movie? Was it A-list, talented actors like Kate Winslet forever blighting their entire body of work with this horrendous, unspeakable trash? Was it the emptiness of your theatre? Or, however unlikely, the FULLNESS of your theatre?? Please, share.
As for me, I didn't pay ONE red cent to see this cinematic abortion; I torrented it one quiet afternoon out of morbid curiosity. What can I say? Roger Ebert's 0-Star review, along with the OVERWHELMING CRITICAL HATE towards this mystery movie absolutely captured my imagination, for a half hour or so. Just how bad can it ACTUALLY be?! I thought - famous, inevitable last words. In the copy I downloaded, the picture is about DVD-quality, but the Audio is another thing entirely - It's recorded in a theatre, with every word having that distinct roomy, theatre sound, and you can plainly hear people talking, etc.
There seemed to be about four or five people in the theatre, total. Well, four or five people in the theatre making ANY sort of sound, anyway.
So during this - for me - entirely laughless experience, about two people in the theatre are actively laughing at most of the jokes. Their shrill laughter echoing off the mostly-vacant theatre's walls is the loneliest, most depressing sound I've ever heard. Their squawking, inane titters at the reveal of Hugh Jackman's chin-nuts just leaves me plain sad and confused. Their obviously really young, these kids...they can't be more than twelve or thirteen years old. Is THIS the next generation? The way I see it, this coming generation is what? Generation Z? So...that's IT - that's THE END, there's NOTHING AFTER THAT. It's gotta be the END for culture. I'm sure of it.
Two kids laughing at the sight of an Oscar-winning actress crushing avocados with her naked breasts is the sound of the end of pop culture as we know it.
You know...Maybe it's for the best. Really. The world shall end to the sound of some listless chuckles to "Movie 43"
