I got me the Kung Fu Hustle
I watched all three of the movies I rented yesterday. And no, I did not watch Way of the Gun, Jew. I don't watch it on purpose. I like hearing your nasal whine about me not watching it. It makes me smile.
So, Be Cool. I really didn't think this movie even came close to the first, Get Shorty. I mean, The cast was great, but the plot and execution just wasn't there. It was like a not as cool version of Get Shorty. The best characters in the movie were Vince Vaughn's The Rocks, and Andre 3000. Vince Vaughn trying to be black was awesome. I love watching him in movies that he is a complete dick.
Robots. Good movie to watch with the kids.Robin Williams coked up shtick is getting pretty old, especially now that he does it while he is not coked up. Cool visuals, good message, all around good family movie.
Now on to Kung Fu Hustle. I personally thought this movies was the shit. You got subtitles, but the humor and action was there. I would definitely recommend this to any old school kung fu or John Woo fan. I was surprised to find that even my wife liked it, the humor kept her involved. However, the action is not to be scoffed at. These guys take "bullet" time to a different level, and it kicked ass.
By the way, I bitched about Blockbuster yesterday in my post, that karma came around and bit me in the ass by making Be Cool about a third unwatchable. My name is still not Earl

now with humanizing word verification!
what do you have against subtitles? why does everyone hate subtitles?
i can't stand how so many people love being dumb and want to stay that way.
i don't really mean you, so much as i mean a lot of other people.
and it all starts with subtitles. or maybe it ends with them. i forget.
I personally don't. I was watching John Woo movies and Jackie Chan 9 years ago, before they even came over mainstream. I think it's cool watching foreign movies when they speak their language. Kung Fu wouldn't be Kung Fu if it were English.
SPAMMED!!!
I do agree that movies should be watched in their original language. But... There are times when I just want to sit back and zone out. I dont want to read. I want the movie to do all the work and just be obsorbed by it.
