See, in my fantasy, when I'm kissing you... you're kissing me. It's okay. I can wait.

I haven't trusted science since I saw the film "Flubber."

Watching Fast Five, which is already pretty freaking hilarious, just became like ten times funnier when I realized that The Rock is basically doing his best Tommy Lee Jones impersonation.

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

It's pretty gay, isn't it?

Also, watch after the credits.

has anyone seen Drive? I kinda want to see it this evening, but I'm a bit wary based on some of the content of the reviews.

my understanding is that it's really really suspenseful, and that it gets really violent as it moves on.

I think I'll probably pass--I'm not good at thrillers anymore.

But it's Ryan Gosling! He needs your money and your love!

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

I kind of share your reaction. I am not sure what I was expecting, but I wasn't really expecting that kind of film. I found the movie entertaining, but it isn't GREAT. Upon reflection, it probably isn't that far from a good tv movie.

With a hell of a cast! And a great score.

Contagion was really good, for sure, but there was no there, there. Although I think there may be a there that's just not apparent on the surface. I feel like there wasn't a lot of meat to most of the characters.

I knew going in that it wasn't a thriller, but I also had the impression that it was slow and disjointed. I thought it was actually really compelling and exciting for a non-thriller. It was an epic story on a human scale.

I finally watched Fair Game via Netflix tonight.

Man, I'm so pissed off all over again. And horrified at the way the CIA just caved entirely, if that sequence in the movie is anywhere near the truth. They just hung one of their most valuable agents out to dry. Shameful.
