Not Another Clue Card!!!!<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

 <\/p>\n

Last night I watched “Gone Girl”, simply because not much else was on and I like Rosamund Pike. I was really enjoying the story right up to the point where she returns home to the\u00a0oohs and aahs of the public and press at her return, followed by\u00a0police ceasing all further investigations, followed by her\u00a0remaing all bloodied up for the gratuitous shower scene.\u00a0 Really?!\u00a0 I wasted 2 hours getting ready to cheer the villainess getting her due and everyone just\u00a0walks away as though nothing happened???\u00a0 Aflack,\u00a0you wuss-wuss!<\/p>\n

This is why I’ve almost decided to stop watching movies, it is a clear indication our\u00a0brains are shrinking.\u00a0 Let’s look at the bloody insane evidence:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. What sicko woman wants to have a selfie with a guy who is whispered to have killed his\u00a0pregnant wife?\u00a0 Oh I forget, the type that wants their\u00a015 seconds of Facebook fame or a selfie with Charles Manson.<\/li>\n
  2. Who was the Nancy Grace wannabe?\u00a0 All she did is allow the story to evolve where ever the wind blows. Justice may be blind, but reporting is now\u00a0void of the\u00a05 senses.<\/li>\n
  3. Pike’s character admitted all she needed was a few good neighborhood idiots and obligingly she found them faster\u00a0than\u00a0you can sign up for Gacko insurance.\u00a0 They must have lived in Idiocracy USA.<\/li>\n
  4. She was unemployed, he was unemployed, and yet still managed to get a $100K credit line?\u00a0 They never questioned the VISA bill charges or used a lie-detector on Pike.\u00a0 Oh how convenient!<\/li>\n
  5. What attorney with a $100,000 retainer fee EVER, EVER\u00a0takes a case like this?<\/li>\n
  6. They didn’t review the tapes of her at Neil Patrick Harris home to see the romper room activities of the two.<\/li>\n
  7. What’s with Harris’ character knowing what shade of hair color to\u00a0buy to see the “real” her?\u00a0 What guy would EVER know that?<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    I could go on and on.\u00a0 I almost wanted to take a ball-peen\u00a0hammer to my skull.\u00a0 Look, I love a good story that has you thinking to the very end, but when you use $6 of your retirement funds to rent a movie, you don’t want to think about a sequel titled,<\/p>\n

    “Gone Money”<\/p>\n

    I will say this, Pike’s performance was good, scary good.\u00a0 I’m not sure I’ll watch anymore of her movies because I’m a little freaked out now, dreaming a clue card might arrive in the mail. She had a limited role in Simon Pegg’s movie, “Hector and the Search for Happiness”, which I watched before this one.\u00a0 That was a decent flick.<\/p>\n

    As for Mr. Aflack, come on dude, stand up for us guys,\u00a0we are being bombarded as being lazy and lacking intelligence, merely controlled by sexual thoughts and video games.\u00a0 You handed it to them on a platter, fitting extremely well into the neighborhood of convenient idiots.\u00a0 This applies to all Missourians, are you going to take this lying down?\u00a0 Demand your rights for equal idiocy and let’s get a few Silicon Valley stories going like “iGone iGone iGirl.”<\/p>\n

    What has happened to men?\u00a0 Where’s Rhett when you need him, such as a scene from: “Gone with the Windy Girl”<\/p>\n

    “Frankly, Awesomely Amazing Amy –\u00a0I don’t give a damn.”<\/p>\n

    Now, I’d pay to see that…<\/p>\n

    Chime in now.\u00a0 What recent psychopathic movie did you watch that just had you asking, “What the…?”<\/p>\n
