No it\u2019s not.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Just like \u201cniggling.\u201d English is a funny, funny language, and terms that might be offensive in one context ain\u2019t so much so in another.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Like \u201cnip.\u201d Used as a derogatory term of one of Khan\u2019s Kids, but can also mean a little sip of something, typically liquor. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Anyhoo, was watching the greatest actor of all time \u2013 thank you, Keanu Reeves \u2013 warring against another great Dennis Hopper in Speed, and I realized the final battle scene made no sense.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The news would have reported the bus blowing up so no actual need for the \u201cBut I\u2019m taller\u201d line.\u00a0 Great line, BTW, speaks truth to power.\u00a0 A guy can be a complete dumbahh but as long as he\u2019s tall, relatively well-built, all is forgiven.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
What? Yeh. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Not to mention M. Night Shyamalan\u2019s rather consistent plot abysses (abysi?) \u2026 The Village (use the world to keep the world out) and Signs (aliens sensitive to water invade a planet covered in water \u2026 dumb ET).<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Loved \u201cTraining Day\u201d but why would Alonzo crash his car at the end, when he could have just driven off?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Watched a little romp (heh) called It Follows, fairly stupid but it had its moments but why oh why didn\u2019t the \u2026 evil entity? just follow the fornicators (\u2018cuz thass what they were<\/em>) in their sleep?\u00a0 Easy enough.\u00a0 And why oh why did the \u2026 evil entity? wear clothes that were invisible \u2018cuz it was invisible (except to the followed) but the sheet signaled its location in the pool and bullets worked the third time under the water but not the first at the beach or the second at the side of the pool?\u00a0 And what was the deal with the guy\u2019s mom?\u00a0 That was just gross.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n And why does Marty McFly\u2019s family live in the exact same house, albeit updated, after his father has become a successful author? Wouldn\u2019t they have moved\/resided in better digs?<\/p>\n\n\n\n Before The Slap, Mr. Pinkett-Smith was considered the Mayor of Hollywood, and one of his biggest was \u201cIndependence Day.\u201d Now, I love me some Jeff Goldblum (Apartments.com is still one of the best commercials out there \u2013 change my mind) but not sure how he knew that human tech and alien tech would essentially be plug \u2018n play to deliver a hacker virus. Just saying \u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n The rest of the Matrix \u2013 OK, see, Neo is the one (hi Keanu!\u00a0 So glad you came \/ Mr. Pinkett-Smith would have ruined the movie \/ too much personality) and he apparently broke the matrix in the first movie so why\/how come\/what did the Merovingian do to transport Neo so far from where he needed to be?\u00a0 And what was the deal with the KeyMaster? Wouldn\u2019t that have been Neo?\u00a0 I mean, Morpheus\u2019 whole deal was to find the One and tear down the Matrix and free humanity from the techno-chains of human farms, so \u2026 what?\u00a0 Now, the freeway scene was the AWEsome-nessessness truly but \u2013and hear me out \/ or not \u2013 what about showing what the Nebuchadnezzer and its crew, or the residents of Zion, were doing to find the One, prior to finding the One?\u00a0 That might be interesting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Or not.\u00a0 Just random thoughts re the debt owed to the movie audience.\u00a0 But they gots the money, so \u2026 <\/p>\n\n\n\n Matters not?\u00a0 Wrong.\u00a0 <\/p>\n\n\n\n Filmmakers owe a duty to filmgoers to make it make sense.\u00a0 Otherwise, could stay home and save the $62.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Otherwise, ChatGPT could just write the darn thing, might do a better job.<\/p>\n\n\n\n What was that strike all about, again?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" No it\u2019s not.
