RANGO

The animated feature Rango has been open for two weeks now, and I believe it’s doing really well. We should all ask for our money back. Here are some of my thoughts on it, the ones I had when I could get my pissed-offed-ness at wasting two precious hours out of my brain.

It just went on and on and on and on……. You get the idea.

If you haven’t yet seen it, wait till it’s on television and then record it to help with insomnia.

The creators kept thinking it was profound, but they missed the mark on every level.

Good voices, great animation and sound, the last one especially where I saw it–at the newly re-furbished Aidakoff Screening Room in Beverly Hills. Charles Aidakoff just loves movies! And at 96, he’s seen, first run(!), more than half the old movies I love to watch on TV when I have the time. What history does that man have in his brain?!

The whole time I was watching the movie, I didn’t even know that was Johnny Depp! I kept trying to figure out who it is. I had thought Johnny D.’s voice was a lot deeper. I kept picturing a tall, youngish, kind-of nerdy man voicing him.

The set looked just like the one where we shot my latest movie, also a western. I know they had actors do the scenes on an actual set this time, and not just computer generate them. Then they animated the characters from the real action. I wish we had done that on my movie because I far from loved myself as the Mayor’s Wife, with awful hair and make-up. I would have rather done all the work and then see myself animated.

How do they get this boring, way-too-violent crap made???

And lastly, just plain don’t waste your time!
