Calla's Fifty-Third Post

There are actual things I need to write about in here. . . and I forget what they are. . . But I really quickly need to complain about Code 46. This movie is stupid stupid stupid. I'm 32 minutes into it. That's 1/3rd through. And nothing is interesting. The tone and style is like Blade Runner, but not as well done. The concept is like Gataca (how was it spelled? Ethan Hawke was in it when I was 11. I saw it in the movie theaters and really liked it. . . but I was 11, so maybe it's bad) combined with 1984. But much more boring than both of them. Well, the main girl isn't even cute. And I just watched them have such unrealistic sex. It was stupid. It wasn't unrealistic like too crazy, I mean they weren't movie in a way where you're like "how could he even be in her!?" . . . It was unrealistic like TOO DULL. No one has sex like that. And it's like Blade Runner before the good director cut version because there's cheesy voice overs. I am required to watch it for a class. Whatever high-concept idea I am supposed to be exploring about surveillance or government control or unrealistic future beliefs that the sun is bad for you (ALL THESE PEOPLE WOULD HAVE VITAMIN D DEFICIENCIES AND DIE!), I could be doing without this movie. . . and more enjoyably. Now I'm 41 minutes into it and OH NO, this man didn't report the counterfeit cover so now this guy died. . . Oh the guilt. Oh the confusion. What is right? What is wrong? What is ethical? OH NOW THE OVERKILL METAPHORS "Did I leave you a clue like Hanzel and Gretal?. . . "

This is dumb. Does he have to go find this chick? STUPID. . . This movie is boring, unoriginal, slowmoving, poorly scripted (you shouldn't need this many sucky voiceovers to make a movie), lame, and it TRIES WAY TOO HARD to be both artsy and intellectual. . . and it fails at both.

Why is this so Bladerunner. . . Oh no I'm like in love with this girl that is supposed to be the thing against which I am fighting. . . blah, blah, blah,

GET OVER YOURSELF.

That is my advice to this movie.

NO YOU DID NOT FALL IN LOVE WITH HER. . . YOU WERE ON A FRAKKIN EMPATHY VIRUS!!
