Movie Review: Day the Earth Stood Still

First off, there ain't much of a selection at the W. BumFrost Cinema, so if the choice is between oversexed brats singing tunes that would make Andrew Lloyed Weber barf in his soy latte and a giant robot blowing Shakespeare up, any GABber worth his/her inhaler will choose the droid.



It is my conclusion that when the producers sat down to first discuss this film, they decided "Let's make a movie worthy of the acting talents of Keanu Reeves," and there was much rejoicing and drinking of Volvic.



This movie blew chunks, from the crappy and uninspired effects to the hokey attempts at emotional manipulation to the plot that was weaker than Terry Schiavo at triathalon.



Then there's Keanu. Now, I'm all for supporting my half-Asian brothers, and with Eddie Van Halen doing such a Shakespearety job of representing and Zack from "Saved by the Bell"... well, with him being Zack from "Saved by the Bell," Keanu is the best we got. God save us.



Remember his Southern Accent in "Tune in Tomorrow?" No? His English accent in "Dracula?" Take those accents and mix them with three cups of suck in a bowl full of Rosie O'Donnel's liquified Shakespeare and you have Keanu Reeves' performance in "The Day the Earth Stood Still."



Oh, and the robot doesn't blow anything up and he isn't even a robot. And the phrase "Klaatu Borado Necktie" is never even spoken. Frosters.

So, you saying you didn't like it?  It's not quite clear from your post.

I used this clue: "... the plot that was weaker than Terry Schiavo at triathalon."


 


Now I'm no astrophysicist, hell, I probably can't even spell astrology, but I'm thinking the only folks WEAKER than Terry at triathalons, would be dead folks.

That depends, how old is Keanu Reeves?


 




Wait, were you talking about the acting or the triathlon performance?

Keanu is the best we got.  


 


Tiger Woods is gonna wrap a 9 iron around your neck if he ever hears you make that claim again.

The blacks already claimed Tiger.


 


It was a fair trade, though, because now that we have the Rza and the Gza, we've diversified our bonds.

Hmm... Speaking of gravity, it could be that they once had separate asses but their sheer mass caused so much force and spacetime distortion that they were merged together... Gotta go write some tensors.
