blah blah blah

So I downloaded and watched Kung-fu Panda II last night. It was pretty good. Don't ask why I downloaded it, I just wanted to, and Shen was awesome. Gary Oldman ftw?!

But maybe I'm just being picky but movies nowadays are so...blah to me. :c Like the avengers wasn't anything special and I'm honestly surprised it did as well as it did. Aside from the last fight scene the entire movie took place on the ship until the last half hour. It wasn't really spectacular but maybe I'm just being overly picky for action movies. Though it did have pretty good character development for that kind of movie and with that many main characters.

ANYWAY! I wish movies weren't so formulaic. I wish there was a movie where the bad guys came out on top! Sadly I don't think that'll happen anytime soon.

Ah, Kung-Fu Panda was pretty awesome. I loved the white tiger's beatdown on Shi-Fu. I never got around to seeing Kung-Fu Panda 2, but sequels being sequels, I probably would have been disappointed.

There are a few movies I can think of where the "bad guys" come out on top. The problem is that a lot of people tend to confuse "protagonist" with "hero", and a lot of those movies apparently sucked anyway. Did you ever see "Doctor Horrible's Singalong Blog"? That's really the only one I can think of, and it's only 42 minutes.

Have you seen the movie Se7en? Oldboy is another good one, though I've heard good things about The Vengeance Trilogy as a whole (Sympathy for Mr. Vengeance and Sympathy for Lady Vengeance).

Moon (science fiction/drama) is also a movie you might enjoy. The Brothers Bloom (comedy/conmen) is also a fun movie.
