Gerry

So I just finished watching Gerry, the Gus Van Sant movie starrig Matt Damon and Some Guy I Don't Know doing absolutly nothing for 2 hours. In a desert. Practically without dialogue.

I'm completly flabbergasted about this, not because it's boring as hell and I wasted precious time of my life watching it, but because everyone I talked to aout it thinks that the movie is amazing minimalistic art. I realize everyone is entitled to their own opinion, but how come I'm the only one who needs alcohol after finishing this? Or a hug? Or both?

This movie was shit and it's also incredibly easy to make fun.

Gus Van Sant can good movies. He can also make bad movies. And then there's movies like this.

I remember catching some of this on IFC a few years ago. Lots of walking...and talking...and walking...and talking...

I did sort of enjoy Last Days, though. Very dull but there was something really compelling about it.
