It would work on me. Because I do, for one thing.

move out and draw fire
We watched Hot tub Time Machine last night.
Dude. That was freaking hilarious. It verged on Theater of the Absurd, was definitely magical realism, and had me laughing so much I had to rewind parts. Not bad for a gross-out druggie pic. Plenty of meta, plenty of in-jokes, and me thinking it was sort of the spiritual successor to Caddyshack and Back to the Future, before actors from those movies showed up.

I could not stand Hot Tub Time Machine. And I like stupid funny - Anchorman is pretty much my favourite movie. Maybe I should watch it again.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
HTTM was better than I'd heard but not as good as I'd hoped. There were some really funny jokes, and I thought the time travel stuff was handled in a fun way, but there was also a lot that didn't work. Pretty much everything Craig Robinson said was gold, though.

I watched HTTM yesterday too! Loved it! Then again, I went into it with very low expectations.

My expectations for HTTM were met exactly, which made me enjoy it all the more.
Tonight, DH and I are watching the original Tron in preparation for Tron: Legacy tomorrow afternoon. My expectations for T:L are that at least 90% of the script will be meaningless computer-related jargon leading into FUCKING AWESOME LIGHTCYCLE BATTLE SCENES.

That's the pain / That cuts a straight line down through the heart / We call it love
Desk Set also has, hands down, the most romantic line I've ever heard, delivered by Spencer Tracy, after recounting his ex-girlfriend, the model, who wrote him long letters when he was in the war, full of details about hemlines and fashion. Then he says to Katharine Hepburn, "I'll bet you write wonderful letters."
Oh my god, swoon. I love that movie, and that line was what sealed the love. Mmm.

As I said on Twitter, as much fun as Tron Legacy was, I understand now how most people feel about the Matrix sequels. I still think you're all crazy and wrongheaded, but I get now where the hate and eye-rolling come from.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

Because... they... don't hate them enough? Is that it? Help me to understand!
