What A Hustle!

In a way the month of May has gone by very fast, but at the same time it has gone by very slowly and thus long at the same time which of course doesn't make any sense but there you have it. I spoke to one of my co-workers today who had a rather fascinating story about someone she saw. So this kid had a friend of his with him, which he pulled a chair out for and pushed in, he was shouting at this friend and telling him what to do, and was freaking out when the friend was getting angry. This is my job, this is what me and my co-workers get to deal with potentially on a daily basis. Makes life so much more interesting. So I watched American Hustle tonight and about fifteen minutes into the film I was bored out of my mind and had thought 40 minutes had gone by. I contemplated stopping the film, but I pushed through, which isn't entirely true. I got on my tablet and played Magic: The Gathering card game and every now and then looked up to see what was going on. Almost two and a half hours long of nothing but shouting, searing, people getting hysterical, and a lot of dramatic nonsense about love, money, and power. All of those themes are great in a story and film, but honestly this film was written very poorly. Christian Bale's character was very interesting and could have been something much more awesome, but it was written terribly. The same thing with Amy Adams and her character; both together had the potential to be amazing, but fell horribly short. Don't honestly know if it came down to chemistry, acting, or truly the writing but that is what I am choosing. Bradley Cooper I wanted to strangle the entire film from the moment he walked on screen to the moment he stepped off. The best part of the entire film, which was a breath of fresh air was Jennifer Lawrence and her character, who was interesting and well written to boot. Why couldn't they have done that with all of the characters. Jeremy Renner's character was boring and ridiculous, but of course had potential. David O'Russell, who wrote and produced the film, has been hailed as a great for this film, which was also raved about by critics and audiences alike; God only knows what they saw in the film as I saw nothing. Don't recommend this film, and I doubt that I will ever watch it again. Not certain how many of you are keeping up with Game of Thrones but it seems that Lannisters are not the only ones keen on paying their debts. Season 4 is shaping up to be the best season yet, possibly because it may have the least amount of flagrant sexual content, but also the story is moving much more fluidly, not as much focus on pointless characters, and the stories are becoming more dynamic and interesting as are the story plots for what is going on. It is also shaping up to be the season where a good number of villains are dying, which is a great change for once. I think the show writers are finally coming up to the fifth book, so it should be interesting to see how George R.R. Martin finishes up the book series or rather contends with the fact that the writers are catching up to him. Well good night everyone.
