Missed this exchange before.

Actually, reason one is the idea that Alex would fire me, and reason two is the misuse of "your" (which I knew was intentional on your part). Supposed to be funny, no salvaging that now.

Have you noticed that they seem to be running away from the fact that Kevin Smith directed it? No mention at all in any of the advertising I've seen (though it may be in the small print).

Just saw Tristan and Isolde. I wonder how I missed that the first go-round. Enjoyed it. Early-centuries British Isles love story with plenty of swordfighting. Very LOTR minus magic.

I tried to sit through the opera of the same name. It was like 5 hours long. Couldn't do it. Had to leave.

Looks like regular advertising is really over now. It's all about the red band trailers.

Speaking of which, we watched Grandma's Boy at the behest of my brother, who claimed it was worth our time. Surprisingly, it was a rather enjoyable stoner/gamer film. If you like this sort of thing, I'd recommend it.

I remember seeing ads for this on TV rather briefly and being completely confused. They never showed the grandma in question and it was impossible to know what the film was about. I can't find the ads in question, and the trailer available online is red band, which I never saw at the time.

TV is useless in advertising these types of nasty films. Since I can't get enough crude humor I'll have to stick to red band.

Though for mediocre/bad R comedies it really does mean they can show all of the best jokes in the trailer.

Ugh, can't believe I said "in question" twice in that post.

Your fired.
