I told him (and believe) that that's not exactly to any of the movies' detriment because A) entertaining things are happening, B) that set-up phase is incredibly important, and C) I personally don't mind a slow burn, and almost prefer it, as long as it's offering up something good. And it did.<br /><br /><br />And that ending...man oh man, that ending. I wonder if anyone could have guessed how it would end -- and if they did, I'd have to wonder if they're some sort of esper.<br /><br /><br />In any case, hope you had an awesome birthday. And -- oh, wait, you said it was excellent. Okay. That's...that explains a lot, I guess.<br /><br /><br />...Okay, well, I hope the three weeks that follow are similarly excellent. Yes, that'll do.Voltech44noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6904713839696769313.post-74281755201798179202013-09-03T01:34:24.043-07:002013-09-03T01:34:24.043-07:00I saw The World's End and had a nice steak din...I saw The World's End and had a nice steak dinner on my birthday. That was an excellent day indeed.<br /><br />Whenever it's come down to movies with Pegg and Frost, I've noticed that there's a lot of details in the set-up; it almost becomes a game to guess which ones might be right and wrong. Hot Fuzz was probably the most overt example of this (see: them doing everything in the latter half of the movie that Danny asks Nick about in the first half), but it was definitely here as well.<br /><br />I won't actually say more at the moment, because even if only in the comments, I believe that for now this movie should not be spoiled for anyone that's interested in seeing it. It definitely didn't end the way that I expected it to, but it was a greater movie for that very fact.Grahfnoreply@blogger.com
