I am so bored by mediocrity

Rating: 4/10 (21 October 2004)

Pointless is what a reviewer before me said. Pointless is right. I watched half one night, was so bored I went to bed. Watched the second half the next night, and literally said aloud to myself, "Why am I doing this?" wondering whether turning it off would be giving up. I hate giving up.
I kept trying with this one, and just had to give up. Forget how much I love the talent. Forget how much I wanted to see this. Forget how much I wanted to love this. It all just doesn't matter in the end - it's not worth it.
My favorite scene was the Tesla Coil. That was great. That was something. Something new. Something familiar. But that was it. That was the peak. The pique. The pinnacle. The highlight. And that was just more than half-way, if I remembrer correctly.
I am tired of mediocrity - in music, sitcoms, novels, lectures, prestentations, coworkers, lunch specials, customer service - and seriously, in movies - I spent $8 on this?!?
I don't need ground-breaking. I don't need high-tech. I need something above of, something more serious than, something more interesting than mediocre self-indulgence.
I give it an 'eh.
