Pompeii

Of course I saw this on Thursday night as a sneak preview.  Duh.
Man... it's getting really hard to make fun of movies lately.  I saw Pompeii, ready to get my laugh on, ready to yell things out in the movie inappropriately, and I was sadly discouraged.  I never see the big action movies because they bore me, but this one looked especially bad.  So I went.  And it's just... our special effects are so incredible these days.  It is truly mind blowing.  I feel bad ragging on a shitty movie like Pompeii because like... the volcano looked so real.  Actual artists worked on it.  I feel terrible dragging their work through the mud (lava) because it is so beautiful and perfect.
I feel like I'm losing myself.  But it just seems like it took so much time and so many people that made these wonderful effects, the movie doesn't deserved to be slammed like they used to.  I'm really not ready for this brave new world...

But Keiffer Sutherland was terrible.  Like, really really bad.  Just look at this!


And Jon Snow was super sexy as always and you still liked him even though, as in Game of Thrones, he makes the same face in every shot:
