A Descent into Dullness

It helped a lot going into this movie knowing that it would be really, really dumb.  Let me enjoy all the 'splosions and brave military orphans and the call-backs and the more 'splosions and Brent Spiner.  Oh and that one dude cutting an alien to pieces with his mad ninja machete skills.  I almost look forward to a potential third movie where we finally take the fight to the jerk aliens...

The stepfather wanted to see the Guvernator new action movie this time around. Which mostly wasn't terrible in a Just a Dumb Action Movie kind of way. Luis Guzman and Johnny Knoxville were both well above par in it. And the climatic cops vs. mercenaries gun fight is actually pretty good. Sadly though Arnie seems to have forgotten the basics of the trade he once knew. But what moves the movie from OK to Oh Fucking Cmon is the car. The fucking car...

Part of the set-up for the film is a "special" and unique Corvette. One thats like extra super fast. And every scene involving it left me just shaking my head and muttering. And I know almost fuck all about cars. But the Super 'Vette is supposedly stolen from touring car shows or something to be used as a getaway vehicle for federal fugitive. Who proceeds to drive it non-stop at around 200mph from Vegas to the Arizona/Mexico border. And rams a pair of SWAT team Hummers, making them crash. And otherwise seems more like the car from Knight Rider without the A.I. than anything else. And thats all leaving aside my pet peeve where people steal vastly expensive cars and race them around all without the owners just turning the engine off remotely...

Argh. Stupid fucking car...

The “Occupy” movement, whether displaying itself on Wall Street or in the streets of Oakland (which has, with unspeakable cowardice, embraced it) is anything but an exercise of our blessed First Amendment. “Occupy” is nothing but a pack of louts, thieves, and rapists, an unruly mob, fed by Woodstock-era nostalgia and putrid false righteousness. These clowns can do nothing but harm America.
