Gran Crapino

It's the Thursday night before my day off. Mel and Thomas went to her sister's place. I'm left here to my own devices, so I start channel surfer while I wait for the new office to come on tonight...is there a new office tonight?! My cursor lands over a little gem known as Gran Torino. Oh did I say gem? I meant festering corpuscle of old man doo doo! Here I was expecting Mystic River and instead I got an overdramatic amalgam of Rush Hour, Karate Kid, Dangerous Minds, the Dark Knight, and a steaming serving of human droppings. Clint and the boy have some sort of Feeny/Corey Matthews dynamic. Unfortunately, the teenage Azn girl adopted Topanga's acting ability. She is WHORRID. Why do all the talented AzNs end up as doctors, engineers, and high school teachers?! The worst thing is that it is #87 on IMDBs top 250. This is despicable. I haven't even finished the movie. Lots of people better die. Why can't we just see a movie that is honest about racism and doesn't end up as a "two strangers meet under disastrous circumstances, and despite initial lost-in-translation induced scuffles, they learn to understand and respect eachother" type of movie. 1/1024th Avatar, for sure.
