I like J Depp as much as the next girl (What's Eating Gilbert Grape...Edward Scissor Hands.. too many goodies to list!), but dear lord. Public Enemies was so slow, so awkward, so utterly unimpressive that TS and I walked out. 45 minutes in, after his fourth declaration of love to the French girl he rescues from a coat-check job, Depp just started getting on my nerves. TS turned to me and I said "I don't care about this movie at all.", TS said, "Bored."
We left the theatre, and I imagine that a few of the other audience members were considering following us out. The only things I enjoyed about this movie night were the previews (Funny People and 500 Days of Summer are finally coming to Aussie theatres in September!)and of course the company (as always, TS!).
To make matters worse, M tells me on Monday that District 9 was wicked. This was the option TS had suggested before I insisted on seeing PE. This proves two things: I really am the worst movie-chooser ever (something that should have been clear to me after the time I forced a room full of boys to watch Marie Antoinette)and also, maybe I should ease up on my Sci-Fi boycott.
** notice how Johnny is even covering his face in shame in the poster???
