'Hell Bound'
A place to talk about movies--old and new, good and bad, high art and high cheese. It's the place to place your kittens on the award winners, gossip about upcoming fims and discuss DVD releases and extras. Spoiler policy: White font all plot-related discussion until a movie's been in wide release two weeks, and keep the major HSQ in white font until two weeks after the video/DVD release.
At first I was annoyed that Megan Fox turned down Wonder Woman on the grounds that the character is lame but I have to give her this one:
She tells British magazine FHM, "She's lame. She flies around in an invisible jet, but she's not invisible. I don't get it."
Night at the Museum is hilarious. can't wait for the sequel.
I loved Night at the Museum until they go to the obligatory hip-hop-esque "it's a kid movie, end it with lame dancing etc." part.
My three-year-old stole a candy bar off an end cap in the grocery store (I missed it. I was busy keeping my two-year-old from climbing the end cap). I marched him back inside to the cashier, made him hand it back, confess, and apologize.
What did she do? Big aww, isn't that cyuuuute smile. "Oh, that's okay, honey."
No. No, it's not. I have to agree with Hec on this one. Be part of the village, back the parent up. The bad manners were rude, but inadvertent, and part of being a parent focused on what's best for the kid.
ETA: Thanks for the op on Wolverine. Sad, but good to know.

Except those are two very different situations, in one, you are asking someone to lie, in another, you actually want the truth.
Personally, if you want to lie to make peace with your kid, I get it, and I won't interfere or contradict, but expecting me to also lie is a big deal.
I just saw Wolverine, and... well, it was pretty, I'll give it that.
Stands in the corner with Megan
Yes, I've withdrawn from active participation on this subject, but I will agree when somebody expresses how I feel.
Wolverine made $87 fucking million $$!
WoW.
Behold the power of Hugh Jackman's ass!
I saw it today, and the aforementioned rear end (plus a certain cameo near the finale) made it worth the ticket price. But oy, the plot. And the unbelievability of the stunts. I wish someone with a rudimentary understanding of physics had been involved at some point.
Around the third or fourth time Logan looked upwards with clenched fists and screamed at the injustice of it all, I had to fight really hard to avoid yelling "KHAAAAAAAN!!!" in the theater.

Told ya.
