I saw C&A on Friday night--definitely no better than OK, but it wasn't that bad for the $7.50 matinee ticket. I thought the final action sequence was where it really fell apart for me; the whole film was building up to that scene, but it didn't match the buildup. Daniel Craig was really good, though, and Adam Beach was quite excellent. Harrison Ford was mailing it in, though. Not enough of Sheriff Carradine, IMO.

After we got out of that show, the theater next door was starting Captain America ten minutes later, so we headed into there (haven't snuck into a movie in a while--I felt like such a rebel!). Much better film!! Really liked it a lot. I know nothing about the Marvel 'verse (never read a comic book/graphic novel in my life) other than what I've seen at the movies or on tv, but I loved seeing Tony Stark's dad and am looking forward to The Avengers next summer.

Oh, I thought that Cowboys and Aliens was silly fun. I made sure I had a giant tub of popcorn and I wish that my ticket has only been $7.50!

But Daniel Craig looks excellent dressed as a gunslinger: I believe he should do that more often.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

It's my birthday on Saturday and I am picking the movie we go to. Should it be Crazy, Stupid Love or Cowboys and Aliens? CSL got way better metacritc scores, but CaA has Daniel Craig and Harrison Ford. I am in a quandary.

Hey. New board.

When we made that decision, we went with Crazy Stupid Love. And I was happy.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

It's your birthday. I say double feature. But I think I liked Cowboys and Aliens more than most people. Daniel Craig was hotness incarnate, and bonus Adam Beach, who didn't even make it into the trailers.

Plus, Keith Carradine was excellent as the sheriff.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

Okay, I really liked The Adjustment Bureau. As much as I love special effects and gunfights and explosions, I could use more interesting sci-fi that doesn't need all those things.

P-C,

don't you think the plot kind of fell apart and then they went really hand-wavey?

I thought the last five minutes was a little pat, but I liked all the developments until then.

In response to Big, is it a prevailing opinion that a thirteen year old (chronologically and mentally) having sex with an adult woman is icky?
