I love me some Heath Ledger. His Joker is going to be teh awesome!

Now how is it Not Afraid managed to see The Women before I have? I'm gonna lose my gay card for sure!

Honey, I was a FH before you were gay.

Follow question about I Am Legend.

Not entirely on topic, but pretty darn amusing...

From George Carlin:

"If you're going to insist on making movies based on crappy old television shows, then you have to give everyone in the Cineplex a remote so we can see what's playing on the other screens. Let's remember the reason something was a television show in the first place is that the idea wasn't good enough to be a movie"

Hahaha^.

Um, I never read the novel, so I have no idea what spawned or became of the dog in the book. But if you chicken out on the dog's fate in the movie, you will miss the best part of Will Smith's rather good performance.

My National Treasure: Book of Secrets review.

I only had about 90 minutes to write it so I'm not really fond of the result. But short version shorter: I didn't like it.

Did you like the first one?

I found it surprisingly charming. Not that it means squat for a promising sequel.

ETA: Ah, I see you did not like the first one. I will read your review of II with the appropriate filter.

Alex · 12-21-2007, 01:42 PM

No, I didn't like the first one but I did admit that if you allowed for the underlying stupidity that things actually hung together and made sense. That's not even true this time around.

Well, I Netflixed the last one. I'm certainly not going to waste my precious out-of-house time and too-scarce funds on the sequel ... but I'll likely Netfllix it when it's out on DVD in March or so.

Who pays to see movies these days? These shiny gold tickets are so much fun!
