Sentient Tires Will Rule The Earth!!!

 Eye-catching title, right? And believe it or not, it actually has to do with this post! Crazy, right?!? So, I watched a movie called "Rubber". It's a comedy-horror film about a sentient tire that can blow up people's heads. Still don't believe me? Here's the trailer for this thing.

 So, I saw the trailer for this and I was like "okay, this could be really funny. It'll be interesting to see how they keep my interest for a whole hour and twenty minutes". Well, I've got to be honest... they didn't. Don't get me wrong, I totally got what they were trying to do with the movie. Just skim over this. (It's basically modern art, only in the form of a play/movie or whatever.) But as a comedy, this movie isn't really very funny. As a horror, it's not scary. It's a tire. Sorry, folks, but unless you have some sort of tire phobia (I couldn't find one on the internet. But it's got to exist) then tires aren't scary.
Doctor Who makes inanimate objects SO much scarier. Don't blink, kids.

 While watching the movie, I was basically thinking the same thing in my head. "What am I watching? When is something going to happen? What am I watching? When is something going to happen?" etc. The only real enjoyable thing about this movie is the novelty that such a film exists, and that you just watched it.

 In terms of plot, there really isn't one. The movie starts off with an explanation about how there are so many things in this world that don't have a reason. Basically, they're saying "Don't expect an explanation to any of this. We're just as confused as you are."
Gonna haunt your dreams, aren't they? Yeah, me neither...

 So, it's getting late (actually, it's only 11:00. But that was just an excuse to stop writing. I've stopped caring at this point...) and I'm gonna close this up. This is a movie to watch with your buddies for the sole purpose of watching a movie about a murderous tire. If I had friends, I'm sure that's what I would have done, and I wouldn't have blogged about it afterwards. It's not a good movie, but it's a movie worth seeing for the obscurity of it. (I call "no hipster")

Have a great March Break.
