I Hated this movie (redux)
Netflix recommended Straight to Hell because I said I liked Repo Man. I saw Repo Man. I liked repo man. You, Straight to Hell, are no Repo Man. The ostensible story of an inept gang of robbers, who, after a robbery gone bad, wind up in a small town run by a very bizarre and incestuous clan.
I found it unwatchable.
Seriously, if it got better after Courtney Love (pre-plastic surgery, so it was hard to reognize her) stopped screaming at everyone (and didn't seem like that was going to happen anytime soon) and the movie improved at all (ditto), well, I didn't stick around long enough to find out. If anyone has had a different experience (while not drinking or on drugs), I'd love to hear about it. Meanwhile, I'm reading the second Ash book and will soon start The Terror by Dan Simmons. i've never gotten into Simmons like other people I know, but I hear this is good, with a bit of an homage to Poe. The first poem I remember memorizing (and which I had to recite in English class) was The Raven. I memorized the first three stanzas and probably had my teacher and classmates thinking I was a little strange as I was nine at the time, so any book that has an homage to Poe in it is alright with me. And I had to start the second Ash book-I couldn't wait-but I have to take the train to NYC this weekend, so I'll be able to do lots of reading onit. And I usually don't make music recommendations (I'll leave that to my friend M who is up on popular music as I am totally NOT) but Amy Winehouse's Rehab is an awesome song-I love her. To give credit where it's due, M sent me her song I'm No Good-but I love Rehab-and the whole CD will be out in the US on March 13th. Right it's only available for an horrendous price at Amazon.com-but you can sample (and buy) the video of Rehab on itunes.
