Of allowing McG to direct and the consequences of sparkling text
Wow. Terminator Salvation is bad. No. Not bad. Bloody awful. It’s like having your eyeballs sanded by supermodels whose level of conversation never reach above blowing reverse pink bubbles. Who on earth thought it would be a good idea to let this person, the same guy who has a hand in The O.C. (let’s all pause to shudder dramatically) have a go at something as supposedly darkntwisty as yet another post apocalyptic “I’ll be back”* installment? The sugar rush style which worked in Charlie’s Angels do not, I repeat NOT, work here.
Poor CC, whom I dragged out of his ear infection sickbed, suffered through it too. At the tinman heart scene we both started laughing. The supporting actor, Sam Worthington, doesn’t do too bad a job considering the gag-me-with-a-sugar-stick role he got but Christian Bale as John Connor has about as much depth as a tortured squirrel/emo Hamlet.
I wish I had seen it earlier though, then CC could have joined me for one of the other two movies which were really very good. Sigh :(. He is such a complete sweetheart and him and Meghan gave me a ride home. I have no problem with her dating Carlo. She and he have enough in common, there is afterall something to be said for black leather interiors**.
I have to make it up to him. It is so weird. Our online conversations flow and are witty and engaging but somehow when we hang out it takes quite a while before it kicks in. Almost an awkwardness and it doesn’t help that we are both ridiculously polite. Oh well. At least he doesn’t point and laugh when I find my own verbose nonsense funny…mostly. He is just the coolest person. He’s funny to the point where I fall off my chair..literally.., he’s sweet and he is just the right kind of strange. And then add to that, he’s willing, even when he feels really sick, to hang out with a friend. Yeah. I’ll make it up to him.
*Which he have poor gravelly voiced Christian Bale say. No kidding.
**Yes. They are cars but they are more than cars to us.
