    Nice. That's the source of the Abe Petrovsky quote in my sig line. I thought Norton did a good job playing the POS/leech buddy as well.

      I really wanted to hate this movie, but loved it.

        x2. I really enjoyed this comic movie. Probably my favorite of them all.

          We loved it. Just saw it last weekend. It's probably my favorite of all of them as well.

            I liked it. I took it as a non linear story but it seems I might be in the minority with that interpretation.

                I was surprised it received such great reviews, I thought it sucked.

                And the ending? OMG.

                  The ending. The beginning. The middle. It all sucked.

                    Huh -- seriously? I was going to rent this -- but I'm not a sci-fi fan at all so I better pass.

                    I finally saw Wolf of Wall Street and was adequately entertained.

                      I'll save you 2 hours:

                      A train with a perpetual engine is built
                      Dude who built the train built a railroad that traverses the entire globe
                      Global warming is destroying planet
                      Humans shoot a bomb into the ozone to help
                      Freezes the earth and only people who survive are on the train
                      Caste system created
                      People in the back wanna go to the front
                      People in the back revolt and go to the front
                      Some people die
                      Train blows up
                      2 kids survive and realize it's not too cold anymore to live outside the train

                        Wow. I thought it was one of the more smart sci fi films I've seen. There was some decent social commentary in it was well.

                        Oh well. For those who haven't seen it (and haven't read fusnik's spoilers), I still recommend it.

                          Okay. It makes sense now. JL researching for the next trolling effort in the psuedoscience thread.

                              WTF no spoiler alert?!?!

                              Yeah that's not a movie I would like. Can't understand the 95% on RT.

                                I really liked it. Maybe my favorite movie I've seen in the last year. All the criticisms I've read here are all fair. I can't explain why I liked it so much. It just really engaged me.
