I gasped as well, Connie.
Saw Mitty yesterday. The friends we were with all loved it and the DH and I hated it. I found it all forced and fake and yuck.
Zoe: We're getting him back. Jayne: What are we gonna do, clone him?

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

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
Scrappy, it pleases me that you hated Mitty. I hate it just from the ads.

The photography on Mitty looks gorgeous. I may see it in the dollar movie just to watch the landscapes.

It is beautifully shot. I'd say it's worth a dollar just for that.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
I thought the trailers for it were quite well done, and did nothing to convince me that I would actually want to see the movie.

The line in the trailers about getting to Afghanistan via Yemen always makes me and Hubby laugh.

Because books.
There are not many Ben Stiller movies I want to see anymore. Actually any, I think.

GS: If you had to choose between kicking evil in the head or the behind, which would you choose, and why?
Minsc: I'm not sure I understand the question. I have two feet, do I not? You do not take a small plate when the feast of evil welcomes seconds.
Ben Stiller is one of those actors who I feel like I should like, but then I inevitably hate everything I see him in.
I think the last movie he was in that I enjoyed was Zero Effect.

Ann, that's a ferret.
The 2 Night at the Museum movies were decent mindless entertainment. Although I think that was more from good execution of an idea that hadn't been done to death, and Stiller didn't do much one way or the other.

I used to religiously watch The Ben Stiller Show and enjoy it, but somewhere along the line my affection for Stiller curdled and I tend not to like his performances even in movies that are fun overall anymore.
