I saw Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs last weekend. My daughter loved it. I think I loved it even more. I thought that was a pretty freaking funny kids movie. Lots of LOLing.

Prepare to put mustard on those words, for you will soon be consuming them, along with this slice of humble pie that comes direct from the oven of shame set at gas mark “egg on your face”! -- Moss
There are three rules that I live by: never get less than twelve hours sleep; never play cards with a guy who has the same first name as a city; and never get involved with a woman with a tattoo of a dagger on her body. Now you stick to that, and everything else is cream cheese. --Coach Finstock

Taps (1981).
I could not suspend my disbelief. Completely preposterous, bad acting by Tom Cruise, and the pacing was ridiculous. I started fast-forwarding through it. I remember it coming out when I was a kid and thinking that the famous scene with their red berets on all pointing their weapons at the police would be cool to see.
It proved to be the highlight of an unfortunate movie. Time was not kind to this one. Even George C. Scott's presence seemed forced and couldn't save it from itself."Yeah, but never trust a Ph.D who has an MBA as well. The PhD symbolizes intelligence and discipline. The MBA symbolizes lust for power." -- Katy Lied

"No Country For Old Men"
It's a running motif for me, but I feel like I should apologize for waiting this long to see it for the first time. The Coen brothers are extraordinary."I don't know the origin of said bitch booming."-Art Vandelay

None of them date. They hang out. They text. They sit in the same car or room and don't say a word...they text. Then, they go home and whack off to internet porn.
I think that's the sad truth about why these kids are retards.

Saw Polanski's GHOST WRITER and liked it quite a bit. I think there's a thread devoted to it somewhere already.Kids in general these days seem more socially retarded...

Originally posted by MarkGrace View PostWorld's Greatest Dad - this was directed by Bobcat Goldthwait (yes, that Bobcat Goldthwait) and my initial interest in seeing it stemmed from the fact that it was shot in the neighborhood adjacent to ours a couple summers ago. It is a dark comedy (very dark) that in many places is crass and perverted to an uncomfortable degree. However, I did think it had some interesting ideas about way we redefine our relationships with people after their deaths, and about this whole cult of celebrity that seems to accompany such instances. Having lost a friend in HS, I could relate to a lot of what happens with the characters. As an additional bonus, you get to see Robin Williams package! 6/10.
Spoiler for mild spoiler:I suppose all dedications/funerals/the trail left after death are for those who survive, and it doesn't matter who you actually were, but how other people want to remember you. Seeing his dad try so hard to raise him, then create this false image of him after he dies so he can finally get published, is unsettling, but understandable. The ending is appropriate, though."I don't know the origin of said bitch booming."-Art Vandelay

Originally posted by Katy Lied View PostI loved it as well. I was surprised at how tender and romantic the movie was. In between all the double taps, of course."I don't know the origin of said bitch booming."-Art Vandelay

"Brothers Bloom"
Rian Johnson (of "Brick" fame) directed this. I liked it. I thought it was an unusual role for Mark Ruffalo, and at first it felt like he should've been cast as the younger brother, but by the end I was convinced. Rachel Weisz was great, including her bare behind. And I thought you could only say the F-word once in a PG-13 movie, but it turns out you can say it three times."I don't know the origin of said bitch booming."-Art Vandelay

The last thing I watched was Wicked this weekend down in Richmond. I searched on it and read the bulk of your post on it. Interesting stuff. I also found that show to be pretty entertaining."They're good. They've always been good" - David Shaw.
Well, because he thought it was good sport. Because some men aren't looking for anything logical, like money. They can't be bought, bullied, reasoned, or negotiated with. Some men just want to watch the world burn.
