I saw the Big Lebowski again because I vaguely remembered it. Last time I saw it, I was 16 or so. That movie is straight up trash. I don't even know how it's a cult classic. I guess just because it's a stoner flick. Most stoner flicks are gawd awful to me. The only two that I give passes to are The Harold and Kumar flicks and the one that Dave Chapelle did that I can never remember the name of. I also don't smoke weed so there's my main problem I guess. The movie just felt like a bunch of events/jokes thrown together with all of the punchlines taken out. As soon as they are about to get to the punchline they are like "hey let's start a new joke." It was such torture for me to get through this movie. I kept pausing it to do stuff around my apartment then coming back.
I also re-watched Tropic Thunder this weekend and I laughed just as hard at all the jokes the very first time I saw it.
On my re-watch was also The Happening and Quarantine. After watching the special features from The Happening. I appreciate it more and accept it more I guess. I wish they would have really left the more graphic scenes in the movie but then it would have been a NC-17 rating. I wanted the Rob Zombie treatment of being beaten over the head with gratuitous violence until I become numb to it like in House of a Thousand Corpses.
Quarantine, I'm not going to even talk about because I fell asleep through it again. I have yet to actually finish this movie. I just get bored and fall asleep.
