The Book of WTF
Feb. 11th, 2010 09:39 pmThe Book of WTF?
Subtitle: Can I have those two hours of my life back, please?
I was in town with![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
werenerd the other day, and we had a couple of hours to waste, so we decided to see what was on at the nearest cinema, and picked what looked like it might be a fun 'exploding movie' - The Book of Eli, with Denzel Washington playing some kind of 'one guy against the world' gig. Well we were right about it being a 'superhero' film, but fun? Boy, were we wrong.
The Book of Eli is two hours of insane christian propaganda with no apparent idea quite what it's trying to say, and the most fucked up moral message I have ever seen in a movie. I'd love to say it was 'so bad it's good' but frankly, it was just so bad it's embarrassing to watch.
( Warning, spoilers - no, not for the movie, but the idiocy perpetated within caused me to waste several hours ranting about it! )
