Thirst

Well, I'm less than enthusiastic to say that Park's Thirst was pretty good. It was great campy fun until right about the time that it hit the midpoint 90 minutes into its 133 minute runtime. From there it really lost its edge, and humor, and moved very quickly and uncomfortably towards its rather uninspired ending. Ending it at the 90 minute mark would have been just fine with me.

Just another less-than-great film from a great director to come out this year.

I haven't yet seen Fantastic Mr. Fox or Inglorious Basterds. Maybe I never should. But in all probability, I'll probably see them both tomorrow.
Then after that, It's midnight Avatar on Thursday. Master of all good opinions Glenn Kenny says it's fantastic, as do many other respected film critics. I remain skeptical, due to the months and months of really shitty marketing, I'd imagine. I'll go in open-minded and most likely emerge an even bigger Titanic hater.
