rkti went on a movie spree this weekend.
hustle and flow= 4(/5) stars
the wedding crashers= 3(/5) stars
the arisotcrats= 3(/5) stars
also, coke has a new "commercial".
remember (and, i realize some of you may not) the new seekers song - "i'd like to teach the world to sing/and furnish it with love" song? the one they used once upon a time in their commercials? the hippies surrounding the hills....
yeah, well, they've revamped it to "i'd like to teach the world to jam/and chill with it awhile"; "urban" youth on a rooftop somewhere singing/jamming... which could have great potential, but just doesn't live up to it. it's just... off. i haven't put my finger on it, yet... and i'm not saying this as a purist, which i can be. or someone who hates coke the company but has a fondness for coke the drink, which, again, i am. but as someone who is otherwise all about the cover song and thus quite disappointed.*
this was really the biggest disappointment of the experience. and i wasn't even expecting it. and then i experienced it twice.
as far as the movies themselves: i expected more from the aristocrats. (i'm not sure how i was expecting more, i just wanted more from it.) a lot less from the wedding crashers. (but it *is* a christopher walken flick... which was the appeal.) and a little bit more from hustle and flow. (or maybe, not so much more as a little bit less of the misogyny and violence.
*i may have lost 99% of my college writing, but goddamn, if my mp3s didn't survive my computer crash of 05.
