mute

[IMDB]

mute is the kind of movie that tells you within the first half hour that you should cut your losses and run.  not even, like, watch the rest on fast-forward. just shut it off and do something else with your life.  take up yoga or learn how to do pushups correctly or go shopping for an endloader.  something.  anything.  flip a baby.

i guess i am refusing to talk about this movie, so let us talk about something else.  ever think about what it would be like to live in a slightly futuristic world, where you are prevented from speaking by an old injury that you could get fixed except your mom said no?

yeah, me either.

mute gets one eye-rolling obvious realization that you can rub graphite on a notepad to see what was written on the top sheet, except that only works well when you do it right away and the notepad has not been used for anything other than that top sheet and also the top sheet is still there.
