Whispered conversation I had with Victor as we were watching the movie previews before Pirates of the Caribbean, part eleventy-thousand:
me: Wait. Cars 2? Aren’t we already on, like, Cars 4? And hasn’t Puss in Boots already been done too? These previews are confusing the shit out of me.
Victor: I have no idea, but Puss in Boots is just begging for a porn parody.
me: Right? His name is Puss. His best friend is a donkey. WHO LIKES TO PUNCH. It practically writes itself.
Victor: Wait. What the shit? Stephen Spielberg is doing the new Transformers? Just how desperate are we getting?
me: Must not be a lot of scripts out there to choose from. He was probably like “Has someone already done the Puss in Boots porn parody? Yes? Damn. What’d they call it? Puss ‘n Boobs? Hell. That’s fucking brilliant. Okay, fine, let’s do Transformers, I guess.”
Victor: The Green Lantern looks…not great.
me: Okay, I would have sworn on my life that The Green Lantern came out last year. All of these movies have come out already. I’m so confused.
Victor: None of these movies have come out already.
me: I think maybe I’m Jenny from the future.
Victor: Doubtful.
me: I’m from the future, and all of these movies were shitty.
Victor: Okay, you might be from the future.

You are a genius!!!
Time travel is the best. Now you can save yourself from watching these! Also the previews are the best part of the movie because everyone has an opinion on how good the movie will be. It’s like we are ALL movie critics during the previews!

Brilliant. I think the best part about the Transformers trailer is that they’ve replaced Megan Fox with another girl who looks exactly like Megan Fox. But with bigger lips and smaller boobs.

“Pirates of the Caribbean, part eleventy-thousand” – I love it! I’m sure Keith Richards will still be alive…
The green lantern will be awesome. If not, I will personaly go and sleep with ryan renalds untill it is good.
I just don’t understand why they made Ryan Reynolds have a CGI body in Green Lantern. The man has ABS. MAD CRAZY ABS. You don’t need to CGI that kind of body.
p.s. The word “abs” needs to be longer so that it doesn’t look like an acronym when I capitalize it. ABS.

Maybe you really were taken for the Rapture and you’re now living your new enlightened parallel life somewhere else,where you know EVERYTHING. Except of course, if you were taken to a better place all the movies would probably be great. I guess that means you were left here to live out a miserable existence watching crappy movies.

LMAO My issue is that NO ONE has any original ideas anymore. Commercials jack songs from our teen years and use them for advertising. Manufactured pop groups do BAD remakes of loved songs. And they are remaking terrible teen movies from the 80′s.
I’ll give you a hint: they were bad the first time around. Re-doing them is not going to improve them at all.
I love the Puss ‘N Boobs porno concept. With a BFF donkey who likes to punch…BRILLIANT!
I also believe you are Jenny from the future. It’s why so many don’t get you. You’re ahead of your time. By the way, with you being Future Girl and all, can you tell us what really happens on December 21, 2012? Because that? That would be AWESOME.

When I went to see Harry Potter 7 part 1, there was a trailer for The Green Lantern and The Green Hornet and I was so confused because I thought they were the same movie but the trailers were completely different with different people and a different story line. I sure could have used Jenny from the Future at that point.
Thanks for the heads-up that everything is shitty. No plans to see any of them anyway, but still. (Well okay, maybe Cars 2.)

Oh no, really, it gets WORSE. Hugh Jackman in a movie based on Rock ‘Em Sock ‘Em Robots. It’s called “Real Steal,” which honestly sounds more like a shopping drama to me. I think the people in the theater got tired of my uncontrollable laughter and mantra-like repetition of WHAT THE F***?! Or maybe they didn’t.

Dana recently posted..A Moment For Praise And Looking Back and Where Weve Been
I agree with you!
Like how they re-did “The Hulk” 15 times over the past 2 years, and how “Spiderman” is being re-done this year…do they really think us movie go-ers are that stupid that we won’t remember these movies?
I just had a similar conversation with the Blockbuster guy this weekend. I saw the Green Hornet and I said “isn’t there another green movie?” and he said “Green Lantern comes out in theaters (insert date here) and I said “but…that came out last year, right??!!” and…we’re really only on Cars 2??
Seriously, I saw a green lantern board the other day and I was like “WTF, I’ve already seen this shit!” and my boyfriend said “no babe, that was green hornet”. It’s all the same!!!
wordjaniotr (#27) I also saw the preview for that and rather loudly said “WTF they’re making a Rock Em Sock Em Robots movies” about 20 times. At which point my husband almost tried to sneak out of the theater. Seriously who is paying these people to get stoned, look around their apartment at their old toys and write scripts about them….!!
I had the same reaction to the Hugh Jackman movie preview. I whispered to my husband, “Am I mistaken, or did they make a movie about Rock’Em-Sock’Em Robots?” He said, “Just wait ’til ‘Build a Better Mousetrap’ comes out.”
It was the Green Hornet that came out already. And it was pretty damn good. I admit though, I got confused at the previews of Hangover 2 also…
What are you crazy people doing going to the movies? Don’t you know theaters are crawling with bedbugs now? And the bedbugs have MRSA. And machine guns. Nobody’s abs are worth that, not even the guy from the Amityville Horror.
I’m from the future that’s almost finished watching this movie we just started, so I can tell you how this is all going to end as soon as we’ve watched the introduction/”set-up”. I’m kind of an ass.
I thought they’d already made ‘Apollo 13′, but it turns out somebody watched ‘Paranormal Activity’ and thought “You know what this needs? Astronauts.” I’m guessing, from the poster.
The porn industry is right though: there never was enough boobs in the ‘Puss in Boots’ story.
This Coke would taste better if it were still made with cocaine.
PS, cinema has never quite been original.
Sequels, a la “It worked the first time so let’s kill it to death”.
Adaptations from foreign films – your film industry thinks you’re idiots and must be kept that way.
Re-makes of the same movie – “It’s more than a year old, it must be updated for contemporary audiences!”
Books into film – “Oh no it’s okay, don’t read that fantastic book, just watch this meh film!”
Shakespeare and other Classics re-visited – from “Pride and Prejudice” to “Clueless”
Speaking as a wannabe screenwriter, I will tell you that there are great unproduced scripts to choose from out there, if I say so myself. But Hollywood likes to do this every so often because no one ever lost their job greenlighting the sequel of a successful movie.
Sigh.
This is why I’m going back to books. Srsly.
And you and Victor remain genius.
I agree with Batgirl (above). I was watching the previews at Hangover 2 and was wondering why nothing looked new.

Speaking of “Pirates of the Carribean, Part Awful” — did you die a thousand deaths watching it? I was actually enraged at how horrible it was — I still don’t know what it was about. I just remember Keith Richards in the beginning and thinking that was kind of hot, and about six hours later there were mermaids with sharp teeth who swam really, really fast and that was also kind of hot — but the rest of it was a muddy, murky 3-D mess. My 8 year-old started crying halfway through, not because he was scared but BECAUSE HE WAS BORED.

I’m not entirely convinced “Puss in Boots” needs a new name when it becomes a porno flick. I’m sure deformity fetishists would be turned on by a disembodied vagina wearing shoes. (I hope I just invented the term “deformity fetishist” and that’s not actually a thing. To be clear, I don’t condone the objectification of vaginas that wear shoes. Or any footwear, really. Unless we’re talking Uggs, in which case bitch brought that on herself.)

Also, provided you have the power of sight, no movie containing more than 50% Ryan Reynolds will be anything less than pure gold. Spielberg should have hitched his wagon to that star.

Theresa, all signs point to yes: the Vancouver Canucks will win the 2011 Stanley Cup.
We stopped going to movie theaters about a decade ago, since every idiot there has tried to distract himself from the crap on the screen by douching himself with an entire bottle of perfume or cologne that gives my wife an instant (but long-lasting) migraine. We borrow all the movies for free from the public library so we can avoid the stinky hell that is other people.
I’m actually quite excited about “The Green Lantern”, for a number of reasons- I adore Ryan Reynolds and it’ll be my first time seeing Taika Waititi (super handsome actor/director from New Zealand) on the big screen. But I’m not sure why they CG’d Ryan Reynolds’ ENTIRE body when he’s wearing the costume. They changed the entire shape of his body. It’s weird. And unnecessary.
Nothing to do with the post really, just musing. But if my darling Taika has a bigger career in the USA as a result of “The Green Lantern”, I’d like to know, Jenny from the Future, so I can start hyping him up now!
I have that problem too. I think it’s because they start promoting these movies the second they start making copies of the script. So annoying.
Or maybe I’m from the future too.

You could let Victor show up and rant about how Marvel kicks DC in the Jimmy about three times a year on the big screen and then totally overrule him with “in the future, we refuse to see marvel movies” or some such.
