Stardust

Blech. Bleeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeech.

This movie sucked hardcore. Rather than relay what made it so bad, I will tell you about my favorite three minute sequence. It happens at the end, so SPOILER ALERT.

After killing a character with a voodoo doll, the Michelle Pfeiffer witch is in serious trouble, as she is getting beaten by the Hero. So she grabs the voodoo doll again and makes the voodoo doll guy fight the hero! The angles at which he fights are ridiculous and perfect. And as he is dead, he is not conquerable in any conventional way. Awesome.

THEN the Michelle Pfeiffer witch is about to kill our Heroes, when all of a sudden out of nowhere, she has a change of heart! She doesn't feel it's worth living, since the Heroes killed her sisters. So she lets them go! Gutsy choice.

Then it turns out she was faking it and it sucked. But for three minutes out of this awful movie, I was enthralled.

You're RIGHT Geoff! "Stardust" should be called...."POOdust"! THAT bad! And (*SPOILERT!*)excuse me, but I thought that the citizens of Wall and the citizens of Magical Land (I can't remember the name of that place) couldn't see each other or cross the wall or be together, YET at the end...

FNEH INDEED! SIXTY 'BOOOOO!'s

(And yik!)

Wow, both you guys are wrong, and I hate you now!

1) The voodoo doll dilemma was clearly stopped by our hero, and seeing as she was out of options, the witch reverted to her plan of releasing the star so that it could have its heart charged with hope. This was clearly indicated by her noticing that the star glowed bright when our hero was winning. Geoff, you're stupid.

2) The citizens of Wall can travel across to Stronghold, they'd been doing it all movie. Only a star can't cross back, or she'll revert into a non-magical star (i.e., rock). I assume a witch hundreds of years old would also revert to dust, as magic doesn't exist in our world. No problem for our peeps. What were you thinking, Jordi?

3) I thought it was cute and nice and anyone who doesn't think so should have their heart ripped out and fed to me.

Really really REALLY wrong. Man, and here I always thought Alex was the smart one. My retroactive apology to all other members of EL. You're all the smart one, and Alex is just the wrong one.

HORRIBLE movie.*

(*Except for that one part that Geoff talked about, because he's right.)
