Also (deep breath) went to see the new kung-fu flick The Man with the Iron Fists… a terrible movie with a lame script that introduces villains for one of the good guys 15 minutes before the end, has rapid-cut action that is boring because none of it matters to what little plot there is. But I’ve never been able to enjoy action flicks that exist only for the action and ignore story and character. It also stars an inexplicably fat Russell Crow… he’s so fat that I’m not sure if he just showed up overweight and they went “meh” and filmed him anyway or if it was padding and was meant to be part of the character… also written, directed, and starred RZA… a man who is better at giving himself an inexplicable name than he is an actor… or a writer… or a director.
