(Not) A Film Buff

I’m looking an honest opinion regarding the new Batman film.  Surely there’s someone out there who didn’t like it.

 

Holler here because I’m not going to spend a good sum of money (Ushs 11,000 on a ticket, 5,000 on Cineplex ebigenderwako, 20,000 on fuel and 15,000 on a cheap bottle of wine to cure the certain headache I will get driving into town) without having a balanced review of the film.  By the way, all the hoo-ha about it makes me think the film should have been called The Joker instead of Dark Something Or The Other With Batman and Michael Caine In It.

 

Hey you,

I finally found something that helps explain my feelings about the recent offerings at Cineplex Cinema in Kampala.

 

 

This cartoonist, Fighting Words (whose work I haven’t asked for permission to use but I am begging please, please, please don’t sue me) is part of a really cool group called Cartoonists with Attitude.  I learned about them on this week’s BBC Radio 4 choice podcast, available for download here.

 

Kakati,

  • Does anyone know someone who knows someone who is of any influence at Cineplex?
  • Can someone tell whoever is reponsible that the cinemas smell of dead milk and mould?
  • Is anyone there aware that running a movie like Wanted for three week is an insult to anyone with a brain?
  • Could you pass on the word to the powers that (don’t) be that animated films are not ‘childish’ and should be shown after 4 pm.; that Eddie Murphy is creepy, that Jack Black is bleak; and that although post-colonial Uganda didn’t quite understand the meaning of the word ‘independence’, independent films are not a bad thing?
