A Little Review

I started watching a movie last night with Jason Statham in it called In the Name of the King.  I figured with Jason Statham in the movie, it's gotta be pretty good, right?  At least good action if nothing else.  Man, was I ever wrong.  

To give you a clue about how bad this movie was it also has Ron Perlman and Matthew Lilard.  That's right, I said Matthew Lilard, who has only ever done well in one role, Shaggy from Scooby Doo.  And the only decent job I've ever seen Ron Perlman do in a movie was when he played Hellboy, even then I wasn't a big fan.

Even the actors that would normally do at least a decent job in a film seemed to have gone out of their way to make the movie as completely painful as possible, and I only watched about 30 minutes of it before I couldn't take the torture anymore.  

I wonder if this movie was made as a joke and was not intended to be taken seriously.  If this was the case, then congratulation everyone, you did a FANTASTIC job!

Ok, new rant.

I've heard this said in several tv shows and movies.  One character kisses someone not their significant other, or has sex or whatever. They get caught, and what do they say?  "It meant nothing" LIES!  It does mean something, maybe not necessarily to the cheater but it certainly means something to the person being cheated on.  Now, this has never happened to me so I'm just going based off how I think it would feel.

If my boyfriend/husband kissed another woman while he is in a relationship with me It would mean everything to me.  It would mean he's interested in someone else, it would mean he doesn't love me, it would mean he can't really be trusted.  It would mean he just plain flat out doesn't care about me or our relationship.  Like I said, I've never had the misfortune to experience this myself and I know people make mistakes, but every time I hear those words, "it meant nothing," I wait for the cheated on to rebut with "it meant something to me."  But alas, I am always disappointed.  Why do writers not think of that.  The one that gets hurt never flat out tells the cheater that it was not meaningless, that "it meant" nothing is a BIG FAT LIE.

Random Thoughts

I've been watching Ugly Betty lately and I'm getting to the end of the series.  There are a couple of inconsistencies that I just have to get off my chest and since this is my blog and it's for whatever I'm thinking about where better to vent these frustrations, and write run-on sentences.  

**SPOILER ALERT**

In one of the seasons Meade publications loses all it's money so they bring in someone to finance the company. As part of the deal Hartley tell Daniel that Willhemina will retain her portion of Meade publications as part of the deal.  The problem is, she never had a piece of the company.  That piece was her supposed love child she had with Daniel's dad, turned out it wasn't her child after all but that's a whole different story.  So technically she shouldn't get any part of the company because she never had a part of it in the first place.

My other qualm is that Daniel's mother had a love child with another man.  Now Willheminia is conspiring to get him his portion of the Meade fortune. The problem is, he is not a Meade and therefore would have no legal right to the Meade fortune.  I haven't watched the last two episodes so I don't know yet if this has been pointed out but most likely, it has not.  

What inconsistency have been bugging you about your favorite shows?
