I Am Jacks Wasted Life

The truly sad thing is: If I had an extra $600, I’d TOTALLY buy a life size yoda statue.

Yeah, so, I’m probably not going to burst anyone’s bubble when I say this… AvP was amazingly not great. The funny thing is, the first time I heard about it, I thought to myself “There’s no way in hell they can make this concept into a decent film”. Then, I saw the last trailer, and detected a whiff of plot, especially since Lance Henriksen was going to be involved, presumably as some form of his android self, my hopes were raised to at least respectable levels.

Alas, no plot actually materialized in the film itself. I would have been happy with any scrap of new mythos, legend, origins, or what-have-you for either species… but we got a couple of cool fight scenes and some questionable “humour” choices that I won’t go into in here. All in all, a fun film, but it left a little to be desired.

I’d like to think I’ve learned from this experience….but I’ll probably go see Freddy vs. Jason vs. Ash anyway.

“Good…Bad…I’m the guy with the gun.”
