That's asking too damn much!

So, I watched Ghost Rider last night (don't you judge me!) and I can suspend my disbelief like a mofo, I love sci-fi and comics so suspension of disbelief is not a problem for me. That being said, this movie just asked too damn much!

I mean, selling your soul to the devil, okay, fine, whatever.

Becoming a flaming (no, not like that) monster that makes people relive the pain of people they've hurt, okay, great, they deserve it.

Suspension of disbelief firmly in place.

But asking me to believe that Nicholas Cage and Eva Mendes are the same age is taking it too far! Watching Ghost Rider drive up buildings and explode the air with his chain of fire and I'm all "ooooh, fire, cool", but every time Johnny and Roxanne were on screen together I was like "I can't watch this shit!"

Also, Cage randomly sounding like an Elvis impersonator at various points of the film was extremely annoying.

*cries for the career of Wes Bentley*

lol, that's so horrible *grin*

And yes I know, in fact he's the reason that I didn't see it in theatres, because I'll go see any comic book movie in theatres. I only watched it cause I was able to get a copy of it for $2, and I want about $1.90 of that back now.

ah, you live and you learn...i'm so torn about the "golden compass" because it's right up my alley but i swore a vlood oath never to watch nicole kidman, nic cage, russell crowe or tom cruise ever in life...and i've been pretty good with that so far...

You know Tom and Nicole were perfect together in that they both have this insidious talent to star in movies I want to see even though I kind of loath them both (him more so however).

Like Nicole had to go in be in "The Invasion" which I want to see, and now "The Golden Compass" as well, though I must admit I think she'll do an admirable job of Mrs. Coulter though Catherine Zeta-Jones would have been more accurate with the literary description and much, much ... much hotter. Also, Eva Green is in "The Golden Compass" which means I must see it, because I'm Eva's bitch (I saw "Kingdom of Heaven" for that woman, and she fucking owes me for that shit!)

But yeah, Tom Cruise, Nic Cage and Russell Crowe all bother the hell out of me. I like "Gladiator" in spite of Crowe (*sigh* Connie Nielson *sigh* Joaquin Phoenix).

So, I'm gonna go ahead and recommend "The Golden Compass" but support your ban fully in every other respect :D
