Watched 3 documentaries this weekend:

Helvetica - I think I mentioned this already but can't remember if it was here or in LJ and I'm too lazy to look upthread. Vaguely interesting.

Breasts: A Documentary - An hour-long Cinemax doc from back in the late '90s. Some interesting insights. 22 women talking about all aspects of their boobs and their relationships with said protuberances. The part about breast implants was particularly interesting since it was made right near the silicone hysteria and accepts it as fact but the last ten years has not been kind to the broad claims being made back then without much scientific evidence.

Maxed Out - A documentary about the perils and insanity of easy credit and predatory lending. Filmed just a few months too soon so misses the beginning of the real estate meltdown. Nothing in the movie is necessarily wrong but it really glosses over the role of personal responsibility as if somehow massive credit card debt is a random disease that strikes without warning.

I saw U23D in IMAX yesterday. It is amazing. Truly an awesome experience. The 3D is impressive without being gimmicky and the sound was phenomenal. Go see it.

I heard a review on NPR and my first thought was - I wonder if Steph will see that today? : )

LOL! I heard the same review and CALLED Steph to see if she wanted to meet on a coast to see it. Little did I know, she was already in a theater in NYC.

U23D sounds like fun. I think it's playing somewhere out here. I know the Hannah Montana live 3D concert film is playing nearby, though, and I'm sure I'd enjoy that just as much. :rolleyes:

Yeah, people shouldn't do that.

At one point, I looked at the rottentomatoes rating for Rambo. It said -1%. That's what I was expecting it to be...
:D
