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.
I can hurt a demon!! That's right. I'm back. And I'm a BLOODY ANIMAL!

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

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.

Art Crawl!!!
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?

move out and draw fire
Well, it's my prevailing opinion.

Prevails for me too. I just had someone try and excuse it, though, on the grounds that the woman couldn't have known. Uh, statutory rape is a crime that is suffered as well as committed, and I think that experiencing it is the key thing to prevent (if experiencing it and causing it could be separated).
