Title: Wanted

Has there already been a thread about this piece of shit sub-Fight Club movie, which I only sat through last night only became my air conditioning at home wasn't working?

I don't know if there is a specific thread about it, but I brought it up in another thread.

That was indeed a new kind of terrible.

This almost never happens, but -- I left the theater last night and couldn't even find the strength the go online and register my outrage like a real dork would. I was at a loss. It confirmed why I can't identify with 95% of movies and rarely see new ones in the theater. I sat in the dark with a room full of teenagers who cheered at every slow-mo bullet-through-the-brain sequence. All I could wonder is, "how did I get here?"



Needless to say, I found the strength today to register my outrage  :-\

And you may find yourself living in a shotgun shack.

It was certainly a mediocre movie, especially the whole idea of the thread machine telling the missions. Yet even as lame as it was, I still enjoyed three incredibly dumb and funny parts:

SPOILER ALERT --
1. Morgan Freeman's little monologue speech that I zoned out during yet ended with him shouting "OR ARE WE GONNA KILL THIS MOTHERFUCKER!?"
2. The sequence during the big final action sequence when McAvoy shoots a guy in the eye and shoves his gun in and runs with it
3. The entire dumb scene where Angelina Jolie fires a bullet that kills every assassin in the room. Same bullet going through all their heads.
