Oh, I loved Freejack.

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

Me too! I mean, I remember almost nothing about it, and it may be objectively terrible, but I have good feelings about it from when I was a kid. That was when Emilio Estevez drove back in time and made out with Reese Witherspoon, right?

And Jagger made a great villain.

Kiss me, my girl, before I'm sick.

Dana, regarding Jodie Foster's character and her accent: I thought the character was supposed to be French -- she had a French name ("Delacourt") and spoke French with her family. Her odd accent was supposed to be from a twinge of French accent in someone who's otherwise completely fluent in English, I think. I agree it sounded a bit weird though.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

If that was the intent, it didn't sound French to me. And I know Foster is fluent in French, so it's a shame that the accent was so distracting.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."

I saw Mud last night. I liked it a lot more than I thought I would. I was a little worried there for a minute about the portrayal of women characters. They weren't nearly developed enough, but they weren't all totally bad - like the way I thought they were going to go.

I also went to see Wolverine. The best thing I can say for it is that it was not as faily as it could have been.

Hugh Jackman, bless his abs, is starting to look tired of this role. The love interest did a lot of damseling. Will Yun Lee was there, looking hot and tormented - an unexpected bonus! I liked the anime-haired girl-swordfighter with the kicky boots.
