Now this is what netbooks are for.\u00a0 Brogging from within a Caribou Coffee, amongst the throngs of other look-at-me secret people watchers all brandishing their own laptops and book selections, hoping that other people are glancing at them out of the corners of their eyes.\u00a0 Since the prospective chance that the book I brought is more entertaining then the internet, I’ll keep it short this morning, since I am on a ticking clock until Jen’s hair is done.<\/p>\n
Martin Scorsese’s\u00a0Shutter Island\u00a0<\/em>thoughts, in ten seconds:<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Marty’s made a lot of great flicks, but at this point, I think he’s getting a little too much undue praise for Shutter Island for no other reason than his name being attached to it.\u00a0 I think Jen said it best when we were discussing it on the way home afterward – It’s a beautiful flick, well acted, I think\u00a0Michelle Williams<\/a>\u00a0and\u00a0Emily Mortimer<\/a>\u00a0were very pretty in that retro-ey way, it was well shot, fit the atmosphere well, but the story left a ton to be desired.\u00a0 It doesn’t matter how much you polish a turd, because it’s still a turd.\u00a0 A stinking, festering, odoriffic turd.<\/p>\n The movie was way too predictable, and I haven’t read the book.\u00a0 After the movie adaptation, I have no desire\u00a0to\u00a0<\/em>read the book.<\/p>\n In short, it wasn’t a horrible flick, a less horrible LARP, but it certainly wasn’t worth the $10.25 it cost to go see it.\u00a0 In fact, I wasn’t supposed to watch it; if all had gone to plan, I would’ve seen\u00a0The Crazies\u00a0<\/em>instead.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Now this is what netbooks are for.\u00a0 Brogging from within a Caribou Coffee, amongst the throngs of other look-at-me secret people watchers all brandishing their own laptops and book selections, hoping that other people are glancing at them out of the corners of their eyes.\u00a0 Since the prospective chance that the book I brought is … Continue reading Martin Scorsese’s epic LARP<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[43,41,42,15],"class_list":["post-26174","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-brog","tag-coffee","tag-movies","tag-netbook","tag-og"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/totfc.net\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/26174","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/totfc.net\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/totfc.net\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/totfc.net\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/totfc.net\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=26174"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/totfc.net\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/26174\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":26176,"href":"https:\/\/totfc.net\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/26174\/revisions\/26176"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/totfc.net\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=26174"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/totfc.net\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=26174"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/totfc.net\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=26174"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
