I found “Nashville”!
…and I kinda wish I hadn’t.
Four words: Most. Boring. Movie. EVER.
Not quite four hours long as previously led to believe. That may have had something to do with the fact that after 2 hours and zero plot development, I skipped to the last chapter. That may be cheating, but at least I won back an hour of my life that would have otherwise been sucked down this very dark, boring hole.
Only bright spot of the movie: Jeff Goldblum. Whom my sister somehow missed. And even in the credits, he’s only known as ‘tricycle man’. He deserved to be credited as ‘only bright spot of this film’. Shelly Duvall and Lily Tomlin were not so bad either. Local blogger Paul Chenowith, also makes a semi-appearance. Though I cannot corroborate this as I have never seen the man.
Worst part of this movie: the first two hours
Seriously though, I did enjoy hearing local places being name-dropped throughout. Some that I have not totally forgotten as I work to block this movie from my memory are: Franklin High school, Exit In, Opryland, Vanderbilt Hospital, and Baptist Hospital.
The irony of it all: I was reminded by Will Thompson over at Automotive Blogger that a movie called The Thing Called Love was also filmed in Nashville. I hopped on over to Hollywood Video, and 0 for 2 - they did not have this one either. So I tried Blockbuster. Blockbuster also did not have it, BUT they did have Nashville, which I erringly stated in a previous post, that they probably would not. So I was wrong. Apparently, I was also wrong about needing to see this movie. Good news is, it was only $1.59.
Consider yourself warned about this movie. Not worth your time or $1.59.
