The Worthless Blither of a Sickened Chelonite

February 21, 2008

Americans – and in this case, a sick turtle – spend 8-10 hours a day watching television. That’s probably not true. I lied.Or did I? It’s not a lie if I don’t know that it isn’t true.This is the kind of cerebellum-amputating logic that comes from an hourlong mixture of Michel Gondry videos and slight real-world nausea.Michel Gondry – Sure as hell hope I’m spelling that right – is awesome. Have you ever seen the videos he does for Beck? Or the White Stripes, for that matter.All in all, it makes about as much sense as that scene from Pirates 3 where Up is Down and they capsize the only thing stopping them from drowning but due the that damned inevitability clause, they all survive by bursting through to the surface.Great effects, great plot point, awful storytelling. Which reminds me… why is Lost popular again?(Duck and cover)
