Well, I haven't yet seen Pirates. My 12 year old says "I don't want to go without mom!" and my wife said "I don't want to go without my daughter!" and we had no babysitter for the two younger, and my daughter is headed out on a camping trip with her Grandma tomorrow for a week so I'm still not going to be seeing it.

This may end up being a solo project.

Ha ha, Leo does it solo.

Me and my brother decided to go to a movie today. It was between You, Me and Dupree, and Lady in the Water.

Unfortunately we chose Dupree. Maybe I should be less critical, or maybe I should read about movies more before I go to them. Because I could have sworn I read something that said that this movie was a comedy....

I honestly don't know what genre I'd put it in, but in my opinion, it wasn't funny enough to be considered a comedy, nor dramatic enough to be drama, nor thrilling enough to be a thriller, so on and so forth.

I don't know why I tricked myself into thinking Owen Wilson is actually funny all these years. I've never liked him now that I look back at it.

Bah Humbug!

Hehehehe, and Lady and the Water is not quite a comedy, and not quite a thriller, and yes it's a bedtime story ... but has so much funny stuff that I almost want to call it a comedy.

But not quite.

If I could go back in a time machine...first I would see Back to the Future, because that would just be ultimate bragging rights, but then I would stop myself today and go to Lady in the Water.

Damn you Owen Wilson!!!

I'm driving, or riding techically, an hour to see Clerks II in a bit

I'm skeptical, but I've read nothing but good reviews, so I have hope for it yet.

I couldn't make it through The Producers. I don't know if it was the heat or the movie.

I watched Shop Girl last night, it was really good.

Confession: I never made it all the way through Clerks (I) and have never been a fan of Smith, and have no desire to see anything he's done.

I'm a mediocre fan of Smith. I've seen everything he's made (other than Bill and Ted Strike Back, or whatever it is called). Most of it has moments I like and moments I don't like.

They're all pretty much near the mediocre line with Clerks and Dogma being on the better side and Mallrats, Chasing Amy, and Jersey Girl slightly on the bad side. I actually liked Jersey Girl much more than most but then I'm not tied into the cult of Kevin Smith that was upset about him not making the type of movie they want from him.

I, for one, am amazed at how well 'POTC DMC' is doing. $35 mil this weekend. That's really good. It beat out 'Monster House', 'Lady' and 'Clerks 2'. It's already heading towards the top 10 all-time domestic...
Wow!
