This pretty much goes out to any Aussie readers, seeing as i'm sure it's too late to save the americans & pplainly too late to save the brits, who usually know how to get a good laugh.
heeeere we go!


My GOD.
What IS this shit that is being shoved in our faces under the guise of a film?
Death At A Funeral?
Fucking WOEFUL.
it's not intelligent.
it's not interesting.
it's not funny.
It's not even so awful that you can laugh at it.
& we gave them our money to punish us with this shit?
film maker /audience - Apparently the ultimate sadomasochist relationship around.
How insanely delusional must these people to be think that this is a great film, worth unleashing upon the masses? (...How insanely deluded I am to pretend that the masses wouldn't grasp at something like this & stare with wide eyed wonder?)

I felt confused, mildly horrified & quietly outraged as I sat through almost an hour of this torture (before we - my father & I - reached the utmost limits of our tolerance, & left), during which time, nothing really happened in the movie, & yet, for some strange reason that honestly escapes me, other movie goers were laughing hysterically...
wtf????.....????
I want to know what they were laughing at, dammit!
Right from the start of the credits, a woman in the middle isle of the cinema began snorting & chuckling to herself.
I must just be stupid. There must have been some joke I missed (& apparently many more during the feature).
There has to have been some secret hilarity in the predictable turns of the plot that I simply just didn't see.
If this isn't the case, I'm going to be even more disgusted than I currently am, because it will just drive the nail into to the coffin (Haha! Get it!? A funeral reference!) on the case against people.
Mindless, moronic people.
I felt like a freak because I was not giggling & snorting uncontrollably at the "humour" in the movie while those around me I feared would soon die from laughter...I think I even heard someone belly laugh. That did it.
I could not sit there a second longer in shameful, bemused, agony while these imbeciles cackled like hyenas around me. Stupidity is the enemy, & it was draining all my energy & making my head throb far worse than it had been when we purchased tickets to this abomination. They were trying to bring me to their level (oh look, my sense of superiority is showing itself! wave!) by making me so embarrassed for them that I felt obliged to laugh along with them, while simultaneously making me feel less intelligent & that I should laugh along so no one realises that i'm actually an idiot.
Thank god for my father.
I looked at him.
he looked at me.
We each pulled sickened faces & then we left. At least I wasn't alone in my disgust.
Nothing could have saved this movie for me.
Not even my love for Alan Tudyk.
A movie that by rights should have been amusing made me want to kill people.

If you're a person who considers themself to be possessed of some intelligence, save you're money & see something else.
...Lest you too find it necessary to rant in a blog about the proof that people are mindless, the waste of money & time (irretrievable time), the shitty state of parts of the film industry, & the delusions of man (yourself included even).

A film I AM going to get excited over is the first film installment of the novel trilogy by Phillip Pullman called "His Dark Materials"... I Believe the first film will be "The Golden Compass"..
Another movie I most certainly will be seeing is "I, Lucifer" another book adaptation written by Glen Duncan.
Oh how I love that book.
=D

Well. I'm done now. I've been writing this blog over a period of 5 hours, with many distractions & I don't know if this blog makes a whole lot of sense, or if I repeated myself continuously, & I don't care.
My headache is yet to fuck off & it's stinking hot. & Possibly about to rain.
So, peace out, yo.
In the wise words of Pete wentz, Keep Li/oving, & in my own words,
For the sake of all that is right & good, DO NOT see Death At A Funeral.
Unless you really want to.
Hey, you might even like it.
