Kick Ass!

I completely forgot to write anything after we went to see Kick Ass on Saturday. I'm a blogging failure, but what can ya do, right?
Soooo, that being said, we went to see Kick Ass on Saturday, and I broke my rule again (the one about reading the book before seeing the movie...terrible, I know), but I couldn't wait to see the movie, I'd read so much about it that it had to be done, and rules are made to be broken (except for that one about having sex with a dead body, that rule should never be broken. NEVER!...just sayin'). I've gotta say though, that I hands down, no lie, fucking LOVED this movie! It had everything that I want to see in a movie, ultra-violence, masked avengers, great dialogue and a fucking NARRATOR!!!! Hells yeah! I think I was smiling from beginning to end while watching the movie, and the last movie that I remember that happening in was Watchmen (and maybe Alice in Wonderland...I can't quite remember with that one).
From what I've heard, the movie was incredibly true to the graphic novels, but the violence was toned down a little for the movie, and I've gotta admit, with all the hype around how violent and crude the movie was, I was honestly expecting it to be worse. See what happens when you hype shit up and blow it out of proportion, main stream media? See? I think it's fucking hilarious, the controversy that Kick Ass created, people complaining about the violence and the language...the movie is rated R, fuck off and don't watch it if you don't want to. So there.
It did blow my mind a little bit that when we went to see the movie, there was a family sitting at the end of the row that had brought their 6 and 8 year old kids to see the movie. I'm not a parent, but I can call an epic parenting fail when I see one, and that was definitely one. I kept glancing over during the course of the movie to see if they'd up and left the theatre yet, but they didn't, they stayed to the very end. People are dumb...that seems to be my new motto in life...it's sad, but people re-affirm it for me every single fucking day.
