I really liked Super 8 ! It was totally a throwback movie, and although I did appreciate that the bulk of the movie was focused on the characters, and the alien wasn't actually driving the human drama, I was also glad that there was quite a bit of alien action in the latter half.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Outtakes from Bridesmaids. Very funny but NSFW.
I really liked the sex scenes with Jon Hamm, and the woman improv-ing on man-smells.

Just read that Benedict Cumberbatch is voicing the Necromancer as well as Smaug.

Danger is my middle name, only I spell it R. u. t. h. - Tina Belcher.
So far this weekend, I've seen Thor and Super 8. I enjoyed both, but I'm not ready to say that Thor was all that.
Super 8 really did feel like a Speilberg throwback except the alien seemed to be the little brother of the one from Cloverfield.
I hate it when the special effects in one movie remind me of the effects from another. Or, you can recognize the special effects creators before you see the credits.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Saw X-Men, liked it OK. It was sort of too serious for me, while also being sort of too goofy. Possibly my favorite part was Rebecca Romijn.

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.
My roommate just told me to avoid Super 8 & that it's worse than Cloverfield.

Well, I liked Cloverfield, but I can see why she'd warn you off.
