Kiss Kiss Bang Bang!
Nov. 25th, 2005 09:48 pmCinema evening with
darthhellokitty and
king_chiron, and damn! I seriously can't remember the last time I saw a film that made me laugh so much. There were scenes that had me creasing up for five whole minutes, and giggling afterwards whenever I thought of them, and I was trying so hard not to laugh, because I was missing more things all the time I was crying and choking for air.
It takes a little while to build up and get going, but it's one of the best pastiches I've seen in ages, and it's poking fun at so many things, I can't begin to list them. And, yes, it's thoroughly sick in places, gloriously so, but there's a whole lot more going on than that too.
And then we ate at Johnny Rockets afterwards, mainly because the shopping malls were crawling and all the restaurants had waiting times. I can say in complete truthfulness that I've never before eaten somewhere where the service staff have stopped periodically to put on dance performances. We were 'treated' to mime-alongs of Love Shack and Stayin' Alive, complete with another staff number turning the lights on and off to the beat. It was kind of like Yaoi Con, only without the stripping. Or the talent.
Whatever those people were being paid, it wasn't enough.
