Warning: Spoiler alert (and potty-mouth) in the comments 🙂
I wrote this post over a month ago but seem to have forgotten to finish it or publish it. I thought I would share the first part of the post here, and might complete it some day…
Hubs has been wanting to watch The Book of Eli for a while now, but he sold it to me all wrong.
Hubs: “Can we watch The Book of Eli?”
Wifey: “What’s it about?”
Hubs: “It’s a post-apocalyptic mov….”
Wifey: “No thanks.”
And now I admit, I shouldn’t have been so quick to dismiss it. I think it has instantly become one of my favourite movies now and I want to watch it again. I would really recommend it to… anyone!
Some idiot recommended The Road to me over The Book of Eli. In said movie there was a distinct lack of awesome fight-scenes and Denzel Washington. Both of which TBoE duly supplied. I have no idea how The Road was nominated for any of the awards it was.
What was I talking about again? Oh yeah, great at the end with him being blind and all. Have a shit one anyone who hasn’t seen it.
Pos.
I can’t really think of a good example but “post-apocalyptic” is more than likely a turn me off. He’s slowly learning which words to avoid 🙂
After the movie was over, I just sat there for 20 minutes going “wow”. It really had a profound effect on me that’s hard to describe, and it stayed with me for days/weeks after. I had to tell EVERYone about it! 🙂
We saw it the other night, and I was a little disappointed. I appreciated the basic premise, but felt like there were a few things that could have been improved.
*Disclaimer: I did fall asleep about halfway through, and missed about 20 minutes of the movie before being rudely awoken by a particularly loud fight scene. So I ‘may’ have missed something
Hee hee. What sort of movies does Burfit try and get you to watch? Or vice-versa?
Ahhhh! That made me laugh. And laugh. And laugh.
(Actually I’m still laughing).
That’s exactly the sort of thing that might happen in our house 🙂
