Just suffered thru The Hulk. Oh my ghod was it bad. Here's some general rants about this fetid pile of parrot droppings. (My apologies to parrot droppings).

Why is it that most recent movies insist on making dialog so soft it's hard to hear it, but making the explosions and other stupidity so loud it breaks your speakers? I guess it gives more dramatic impact to the move, but I find it so annoying that it's hard to describe. When watching the DVD at home I tend to keep a window (yes, I watch moves on a computer) open on my laptop logged into the move machine with the mixer up and ready. I have to turn it up for dialog and down for big boom shit. Fucking Hollywood.

This movie had about 1 dimension. Ok, so you show a cute collage of Bruce growing up in the credits, but that doesn't really make us care about him. There wasn't really any character there. How about some footage of him before he hulked? Why should we fucking care what happens to him? Why?

Granted that the military isn't the smartest thing in the world, but they should be able to learn from their mistakes. Why on fucking earth would they keep trying to kill the hulk when they know that it's just making him madder and madder?

Special effects are fun, but hours and hours of them in a row is boring and useless. Without any kind of a story or anyone we care about at all, special effects just make your move cost more and us madder that we wasted time watching it.

Jennifer Connelly is cute and all, but thats not enough to make a movie. Well, a non porno at least. Of course on one of the irc channels I frequent, the discussion was: What happened with her breasts? She was flat (and very cute) in labyrinth. Then she was gigantic in the rocketeer. Goggle seems to say that she did have reduction surgery, and also lost weight and had a kid. Personally I liked her best when she isn't as endowed.

Why do they always have to make a ending so they can have the opening for the sequel? Christ. I sure hope there isn't a sequel to this craptacular POS.

I had a bottle of wine with dinner and the movie tonight. I should have opened the vodka. Or perhaps the bottle of ever-clear.
