Shrek shrug...

Yes, I sometimes get out and watch a movie in theatres. Although I try to remain uncynical about big Hollywood product, in the case of Shrek the Third it's depressing to watch something that exists solely for the purpose of making money.

What's the point of this dull, irrelevant mess? The meta-fairy tale concept has already been played out (I'm surprised the talking badger from Narnia didn't put in an appearance) and the plot involving Shrek's quest to find the young Arthur Pendragon (Justin Timberlake) was hamstrung by the fact that teen Arthur turns out to be a boring loser. The worst news of all? Shrek 4 arrives in 2010.
