Very convincing. Makes me completely want to put myself under government control. Please take me to where you can make me unconscious and naked.

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

I was grading and watching "Tower Heist." TH is not a good movie. In my opinion, it is only mildly amusing. If not for the fact that I like heist movies and will watch one under just about any excuse, I wouldn't have bothered.

Ben Stiller isn't bad in this movie, but his acting range goes from 0 to 2. Eddie Murphy was an embarrassment to actors and to African Americans. Matthew Broderick must have needed to make a boat payment or something because I do not know why he agreed to do this movie otherwise. Gabourey Sidibe (I have to look her up in imdb each time because I couldn't spell her name to save my life) was not bad, but barely in the film.

I have come to love Tea Leoni, so she can be in any movie all the time.

Not one bit of the movie is at all realistic and the heist events are ridiculous. Like this might as well be science fiction because there just ain't no way any of that could/would actually happen.

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

Burrell, I'm going to the first Saturday viewings of each--2nd and 30th of November.

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here

Has anyone seen the trailer for the Carrie remake? If so, why did they appear to have changed the blood dumped on Carrie into oil?

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

I am mystified why they spoiled the whole movie in the trailer. I am going to venture a guess that the average person watching this film will be someone who hasn't seen the original.

I have zero interest in this film and will probably rewatch the original opening weekend.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Who hasn't seen the original??

Because books.

Did they make it motor oil or something?

1976, Jesse. You work with plenty of people that haven't seen it, I bet.

Hey, there's no hand shooting out of a grave in the trailer, right? So there's something left...

I think with Carrie there's still a way to make a coming of age horror film with good writers and actors if you know what they've shown in the trailer. It's loose enough, but it could still be Carrie.

Ender's Game, on the other hand? What the fuck are they doing to the story? That I know I'm not seeing. I might borrow the book from a library or buy it second hand and BookCross it or something, with a note in the front about stuff...

I'm not going to be able to resist Julianne Moore as Carrie's mom, either.

I mean, I guess. I only saw it in 2000s, though.
