I thought we’d see some SCOs, some Microsofts, some Oracles. Nope. Not a single nomination in the SD Times’ newest award, THE WORST OF 2007. Lots of clicks on the nomination form, but nobody submitted.
What a disappointment!
Talk about weird: On the recommendation of a friend, we rented The Fifth Element from Netflix, and watched it last night.
What a bizarre movie! It’s a 1997 sci-fi action/comedy, starring Bruce Willis as a 23rd-century flying taxi driver, Gary Oldman as a corrupt businessman, Ian Holm as a priest, Chris Tucker as a talk-show host, and Milla Jovovich as an orange-haired “perfect being.”
The non-stop action is a bizarre mixture of Stargate (1994), Star Wars II: Attack of the Clones (2002), Die Hard (1988) and Rush Hour (1998).
The Fifth Element’s story is hard to follow, and the characters are 100% strange. It’s worth renting, if you’re in the mood for something different. Very different.
