I don't see that as hypocritical in the least. Slaughtering an animal just for entertainment, wrong. Slaughtering them for a yummy breakfast treat, no problem.

Heh - growing up the controversial scene talked about on the school yard was the bra-strap cutting scene.

I saw Juno yesterday. While I can see why a lot of people are raving about it, somehow it just didn't connect for me. There's nothing I can really point to (other than being a bit over-written and too self aware) but in the end I was just left somewhat flat.

One of those cases where I can see the quality but apparently it just isn't for me.

Yes, it's another one of those 'Brad's late to the party again' things but, man, I just loved Superbad. On the advice of my little sister, I bought it. Not rented, bought. She said I would love it. And she was right, right, right.
And I was just thinking lately that there isn't enough slapstick comedy in movies nowdays.
I'm totally McLovin Superbad.
:)

lol! :D
Yes! Totally quotable from top to bottom. I laughed pretty danged hard. I haven't laughed this hard since Borat.
The casting of this film was just perfect. Michael Cera was freakin' awesome.

Knocked Up is next on my list now.

Alex 12-29-2007 12:52 AM

Just watched it again and am thoroughly refreshed in my opinion that Once is my favorite movie that I saw this year.

Really, just move it straight to the top of your Netflix queue or just go buy it.

Gemini Cricket 12-29-2007 12:56 AM

I have Once as well.
I was feeling depressed one day and bought that, Superbad, Knocked Up and Disturbia...

I count 55 that I've seen on the "controversial" list. Perhaps we could have a screening or two soon...
