Você stalingrado, está em cartaz nos cinemas o filme novo do John Travolta. E como John Travolta é a LOOZ que me ilumina, fui lá ver, toda faceira e serelepe. Quando me falaram que o protagonista pesava mais de 4 toneladas eu meio que tremeliquei dentro do meu coração, da minha alma. Não sabia que o Travolta taha nesse estado já. Quer dizer, ele fez Hairspray há dois anos atrás, mas aquela gordura toda era espuma, era não? Será que não era e ele continuou engordando loucamente desde então, chegando a incrível e nauseante marca de QUATRO TONELADAS em 2009? Meu coração era só palpitação e lamúria.

Scott also imposes his signature bag of visual tricks - there's incessant camera movement as well as plenty of random zooms, seizure-inducing edits, bleary slow motion, and other assorted forms of superfluous visual assault. However, to the credit of Scott and screenwriter Brian Helg...Read more
