So, handed in my final project at 9am and spent the rest of the day in Middlesbrough with Scott and Gav arsing about. We ended up watching Vantage Point, which is basically all about the different points of view of a presidential assassination. The acting was generally awful and it was VERY dumb, but the presentation was interesting enough and the twists were ok. I generally have a dislike for Matthew Fox so was unsurprised to see his stupid face completely fail to impress me in this as he fails to impress me in Lost. Out of the other films I’ve seen over the recent months (Cloverfield, There Will Be Blood, No Country For Old Men) it was probably the most fun as we were the only ones in the cinema so were loudly mocking throughout. There Will be Blood is definitely still the best of those by MILES, though.
Film wise, it’s actually looking like it’ll be a very good summer. Iron Man, The Dark Knight, X-Files, Indiana Jones and no doubt others that I’ve forgotten about should make for one of my busiest movie summers, like, ever.
Does anyone else think that the Activia slogan “Activia. It’s actively good.” is just really, really rubbish? It sounds so ineffectual. Just see if *I* boost my natural defences with a product so half heartedly marketed.
