I hope you didn't actually pay to see it. Affleck blows!

Not surprised. That explains that winning smile of Matt Damon's...

I find David Sedaris funny when he is talking but, for me, all that seems to go away once he has written it down. And his sister is many times more funny than he is.

I also don't tend to analyze what is funny and what is not. It isn't like you can control what you find funny. But I was asked.

Sedaris has a great voice. And, of course, when he's impersonating his brother, that's hysterical. I find his writings funny, though.

Amy Sedaris is hysterical. They should cast her in more films.

Keeping with the introduction of movies to my 12 year old, she watched Jurassic Park last night. Being the evil dad I am, while the two kids are being stalked by raptors in the kitchen, I snuck up behind her and grabbed her. She screamed and then proceded to slap the snot out of me.

Ha ha. She spanked you.

I enjoyed "40 year old virgin" FAR more than I thought I would. Great characters, great writing, great ensemble cast. I think that movie proves that there's a way to do a sexual humor/visual gag-fest and do it well.

There has been sooo much talk about this film that I need to put it in my queue. I'm curious.

I'm halfway through 'Paradise Now'. Can I just say I love this film already? It's shot very well and written just as well too.

We watched A History of Violence last night. Most of the acting sucked, with the exception of Viggo Mortensen (sweet sweet Viggo...mmmmm) and Maria Bello. I really liked the themes of the movie though. The good and bad in all of us. Can a person really change? How much can we forgive of our loved ones? etc. It could have been phenomenal if it were done better.

But the important question is this: Was he scruffy Viggo or clean shaven Viggo?
