The Help I was expecting to bomb. Or I at ...Well.<br /><br />The Help I was expecting to bomb. Or I at least WANTED it to bomb. I can't even put my finger on it, just something about it warns my intuition that I'll probably find something about it that...ahem...colors the entire movie as crap.<br /><br />HAH, didja see that pun? Didja?<br /><br />Moneyball I was kinda-hoping would do well. Even though I dislike Seth Rogan, Jonah Hill, and Michael Cera on principle, I guess Brad Pitts' presence was one that swayed my knee-jerk bias towards wanting this film to be good.<br /><br />My knee-jerk reaction is to immediately hate, and I mean mad-as-bulls-balls, freakin' thrown-folded-chair-mad-hate, any book to movie translation. It's damn near going to almost always suck, at least if done nowadays.<br /><br />Hey, Roots and Dune (even the remake) were killer by my lights.<br /><br />Besides, can you imagine if they tried to make a Gor movie today? Good god, it would suck so freakin' bad...<br /><br />Anyway. Your review has at least given me the impetus to give it a shot, y'know? I mean it SOUNDS like fun, in the very least.Thomas Duder, Author of the Thingshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05277204557122588606noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3804944215284852194.post-72822399596148002502012-03-11T13:48:00.692-07:002012-03-11T13:48:00.692-07:00Cheers for the round-up mate.
