I'm in a blah mood
Jan. 5th, 2012 05:37 pmHaving been on an emotional rollercoaster today, I remain now kind of wrung-out and vaguely indifferent to my own existence. It seems a perfect time to continue on with my roster of movies seen in the theaters in 2011, especially this particular genre.
Disappointing, Unaffecting, and Other Movies That Were (and Weren't Anything Else)
( This may be the category with the most entries, come to think of it. )
I shouldn't be surprised that most movies are just sort of indifferent. Most works in any field tend to be mediocre, in my estimation. There's just too much put out--too many books, too many shows, too many movies--for even half of them to decidedly bad, much less good. There's always going to be dross that, while not offensive, certainly isn't worth remembering. (Clearly, as it took me quite a while to remember something worth writing for fully half this list.)
Next time, I'm going to elevate to the So-Bad-They're-Fantastic, or the I-Enjoyed-This-For-The-Jokes-We-Have-Made-Since genre. That'll be more fun.
