Hollywood never ceases to amaze with its destructive capabilities

Rating: 1/10 (22 September 2009)

First I watched the film and was entertained.
Then I read the appalled comments and was amused.
Afterwards I finally started thinking on my own.
Now I just feel stupid and vacuous.
I wonder why we people are so easily swayed by external, artificial beauty and why we get emotional over cheap colourful plastic manufactured goods. There must be some logical explanation, though, cause it obviously works like a dream. Except, if you have a single thought in your head, you wake up with a terrible headache.
I feel like I was raped by a nice-looking vampire who hypnotized me into believing anal sex is very nice indeed. I liked it very much, I squealed in ecstasy, but now the vampire has evaporated in the morning mists of truth and awakening, I feel defiled and violated.
Yet I have only myself to blame, now.
This film is a study in how much incoherence, discontinuity and illogical feelings or the lack thereof a dumb audience (don't worry, I include myself into that category) can take before vomiting.
Well, apparently we are made of strong stuff and we can swallow almost anything if it is wrapped in something shiny. We are omnivores indeed, and we stoop and pick up anything that catches our eye and looks like it's edible in order to still the vast and eternal hunger inside.
It is the hunger for love, and beauty, and friendship, and acceptance, and, maybe, just maybe, a hint of immortality. Yet such a film could grant you that no more than a Jesus action figure endlessly crackling out through its tiny loudspeaker "I am the way, the truth, and the life" until its battery is dead. No, you're not! But I still buy you, for what else should I do with my money? Give them to the poor so they could by Jesus action figures instead?
Anyway, the concluding scene is no doubt meant to evoke tears in the eyes of Trekkies and mortals alike, and although I am a mere mortal, I too felt the moisture. But I guess it was just residual juice from my rendezvous with the vampire.
Come to think of it, I hope he comes again tonight, cause I feel so lonely sometimes...
