So I had to watch The New World for a class in College and Jesus Christ in an Eva Unit was that a slow-ass movie.

A huge chunk of it was just staring at nature and listening to unfocused monologues that sounded like emo poetry. The rest was a sloppily edited, live action, only slightly more gritty and dark version of Disney's Pocahontas movies (movies? Yes, as in the first one and the one where she goes to England. This movie even had Christian Bale like in the Disney movie! They knew what they were doing!), which were based on John Smith's accounts which made him a swashbuckling rogue and soldier as opposed to the portly man he was in real life (so what was the point of the historically realistic town then huh?).

This movie also was some of the slowest burns I have witnessed in a movie, and I watched Jin-Roh: The Wolf Brigade. Unlike Jin-Roh, which had beautiful animation, a sinister political game, a bleak alternate universe, and a cool suit of armor with glowing red eyes, The New World has nothing but flowing rivers and shots of trees accompanied by bad poetry that'd make Rei Ayanami blush with modesty. OH wait, John Smith gets a knight helmet! So I guess that's cool right!? He loses it after 20 seconds of putting it on.

Pure hippy fodder, I swear.

Why did I put this here? Because it's my thread and I wanted to vent. Back to speculation I suppose. I stated above why Monty used POSER.
