Where’s my garlic?

Really? Vampire Weekend? Really? I mean, I know people are largely stupid. But seriously. Vampire Weekend? Gross.

The Arts must really have it out for me lately. I go see Funny Games and buy Vampire Weekend in the same week. Double-whammy.

Tonight I am going to see Metheny. You know, a guy who can actually PLAY his instrument with a high level of skill, a higher level of musicianship, and who can make an entire album by using more than two time signatures, more than 3 keys, and probably doesn’t think people should be blown away when he adds a 7 on top of his minor chord.

Oh I see…hilarious.

Well folks, just when you thought Hollywood couldn’t possibly get any stupider they’ve one-upped themselves. Just when I thought that “Reindeer Games” would be the only terrible movie with “games” in the title and I’d finally win that bet at the end of eternity - well, it looks like T. Wellser gets that cafe tea we put at stake.

“Funny Games” has to be the worst movie I have sat through in a long time. Oh, I get it, you are the anti-movie. That’s a good concept. Now go make the anti-movie. What’s this? Filming the characters doing everyday things while action is happening elsewhere? Long shots of houses at night? No music except for shitty death metal? Genius. No really. You’re a genius. To have gotten someone to pay you to make this piece of garbage, you deserve an award for best salesman ever.

Don’t go see Funny Games. It is utter trash. You will be bored with someone who’s filmed a movie based on the one clever idea they’ve ever had as they pat themselves on the back and display their utterly poor execution of said idea.
