Thoughts on Red
-Oh. My. God. Old people being awesome and young people trying to get their heads out of their asses, and failing miserably. Red, where have you been all my life?
-Not just any old people, either. The best old people. Ernest Borgnine, for two deliriously awesome scenes. Helen Mirren, classing up the joint. Morgan Freeman, putting on a bad French accent for a bit, but who cares, he's Morgan Freeman. John Malkovich, who's always best when he's being weird. Bruce Willis, I mean, meh, but I can deal with it. Richard Dreyfuss, not playing the vice president for some reason.
-And, yeah, Mary-Louise Parker, being all quirky and oh-me-lawd-I-can't-find-a-man-even-though-I'm-all-Mary-Louise-Parker-y. And Karl Urban. But, since I hate his face and his I'm-serious-because-my-eyebrows-are-scrunched-and-my-voice-is-gravelly-look bullshit, we'll forget he's there.
-This isn't aiming for the Oscars, as cliche as that is. It aspires to be nothing but a call to arms. This is no time to fuck around, senior citizens of the world. Get off your asses and start shooting people, because dammit, we young people got no manners and we use curse words!
-Lovely popcorn flick. in fact, I actually bought popcorn. Lucky!

:O I neeeeeed it!! Also Mermaid Man? For reals? :D (also, Karl Urban gets a free pass for life from me for being Bones in the Star Trek movie)
I like old people kicking butt. I wish Betty White was in this.
Yeaaaaa! Mary-Louise Parker and Helen Mirren and a bunch of other awesome people! I'm so glad this is good, now I will def see it.
"Thoughts" columns of yours, Simon, never cease to make me laugh out loud. Hooray for old people with issues.
Don't forget the immortal Brian Cox.
Sugary: Mermaid Man forever, yo!
Franz: Oh, everyone leave Betty White alone. She can only be the funny old lady in movies starring young people, to make the juxtaposition more obvious. Or something/
Robert: Hazzah!
Luke: Oh, stop...
Fitz: I didn't. His fake Russian accent just bugged me. But otherwise, hells yeah.
Great to see you liked it. Can't wait to watch it this week. Would have watched it this weekend, but I was rather busy. Silly U.S. Army.
Doesn't make her any less awesome.
sounds like a lot of fun! Looking forward to seeing it....Malkovich is always worth the ticket, especially in this kind of stuff.
Wasn't going to see it. Upon reading this, going to see it.
Love that you put Mirren's character poster here as she was the major highlight... oh and for me, Karl Urban is great eye candy. Yes, pure popcorn FUN and then some.
oh, how can you have something against Karl Urban? If you ask me he's the best actor out there :))) And also the most charismatic one ;)
