Game #38: Looper

"Bruce Willis, You Can Fight Anything ...but YOURSELF!"

Picture
Is it just me, or has the action genre been a little weird this past decade or so? Maybe it has to do with the rise of CGI in feature length films, or maybe it's just as simple as a change in the aesthetics movie-goers look for when they see a film, but action lately movies have lacked punch. They feel the need to over explain, to drive exposition into the ground, dragging down the pace of the movie at the same time. Even Transformers, one of the highest grossing action movies ever, is bogged down by tedious dialogue-driven scenes; the movie doesn't get going until it's nearly over. 

It's not that Looper doesn't do this, but that it threads its exposition and "character driven" scenes pretty well together with the guns and blood. It delivers its plot to the audience at breakneck speed, and only gives you just enough downtime to catch up with it...mostly.

I guess what I'm saying is what makes it a successful movie, and makes our drinking game successful as well, is Bruce Willis and Young Bruce Willis (I mean, Joseph Gordon-Levitt). What bogs it down is...everything else.

One Small Step for Drinking Games...

Picture
Most of you have a fully formed opinion about reality television. Heavily scripted, manipulative shlock that appeals to the lowest common denominator, right? Well, I'm willing to bet you've never seen an episode of most reality competition shows, so shut your mouth. I'm here to tell you that The Amazing Race ROCKS. HARDCORE.

Honestly, you can't get better drinking game fodder than reality television. The same things happen in each episode. The pacing is off-the-charts fast, the characters border on cartoonish levels of excitement, and generally the shows get insanely complicated and filled with rules. The Amazing Race is no exception, but even someone with THE lowest opinion of reality TV can appreciate the show for its adventurous bent and exotic locales. It brings out the wayward traveller in all of us.

The show's been running for over ten years, so you've got a lot of catching up to do. Drink hearty, friends, we're going overseas.
