Even reading about it seems to bore me. I get to that "New Rome, Capital of the 'American Republic'" bit everytime and I can just feel the wave of "meh" wash over me. Oh great, someone thinks there's a lot of explore here. Comparing America to Rome... how original. Yes, isn't America really, in many ways, a modern Roman Republic? The immense power, and how that power corrupts, and how a republic can quickly turn to empire and, like all empires, collapse. Hum, yes, very clever... I say to myseld as I shudder at the thought of having so sit through three hours of that narrative.
Worst of all, I know that deep down i'm desparate to appear witty and cultured and knowi f i did go see it I'd make myself feel guilty If i didn't enjoy it and come out the theatre somehow thinking i'd witnessed a true masterpiece. I'd have to keep quiet and hide my joy at it being over as I muscle my way out the vacating crowds only to be occasionally stopped by someone needing to tell me how great it is to go see something that isn't just another Marvel superhero crap. "Yes, yes, they are mindless aren't they..." i mutter, not even sure what I believe anymore. My mind trying to recover for near suicidal leaves of pretentious crap.
