I saw the movie "Jumper" tonite. It was a great concept for a story, and had me interested if for nothing other than the teleporting. Obviously we'd all like to be able to just appear in the bathroom when we really have to go...The reason I couldn't fall in love with the movie, well there are a number of reasons, but my chief concern is that I have to believe this movie was churned out like the popcorn at the concession stand. Of course its good and addictive, but the way they just shovel it into the bag makes you feel like they don't really CARE about the popcorn. I'm not saying popcorn has feelings. I'm saying they waste a lot of popcorn that falls onto the floor in the process because somebody is so concerned with getting the product out that they neglect the product. They waste a great idea because they're too concerned with getting your money before you change your mind and walk away. Jumper had the potential to be pretty darn cool, but no one seemed to care enough to put in a bit of that apparently ancient custom... Its called WORK. Now don't rush to judge me. I realize there are such things as fads. Some people call them trends. Maybe "work" falls under that category. I couldn't be totally sure. But my gut says "oh wait, there really is no discussion about this subject". To be honest, I cannot claim to be a workaholic. I lean to the lazy side of life. So my criticism is not meant to be hurtful. To write a movie, to create a movie, is a feat that takes a lot of effort. It just stinks when somebody doesn't follow all the way through on a good idea. And now I'm realizing how I am completely talking to myself...
