I wanted to like this movie.
I suspect it was interesting somehow, but i had a very hard time following. A lot of the actors either whispered or mumbled their dialogue or spoke with a thick accent, and sometimes the (annoying) music was louder than the dialogue. I got a few of the jokes and some summary of the plot that would fail a second grade book review homework assignments, not much else.
Jena Malone showed up which is nice.
A whole lot of people walked out of the movie theatre, and i heard complaints from the remaining people at the end.
I may try it again later ... But from the comfort of home, where i can turn on the subtitles.
ETA: If there had been this much male gaze in a michael bay the self-righteous taliban on this forum and elsewhere would never stop letting us know about it.
Toward the end of the movie, Shasta is walking around naked and Doc lets out two puffs of smoke. The first smoke cloud highlites her ass, the second highlites her breasts, lol.
ETA #2: The nose picking joke, what was funny about it?
This. First viewing I did in theaters the movie was too incoherent for me. I'll give it a second viewing at home to see if it opens up more for me.
