The plot of Now You See Me, as far as I can make out, is: A group of douchebag magicians have a contest to see which one is the biggest douchebag, with the surprise ending that Mark Ruffalo is the biggest douchebag of them all.

Yes, that is the plot. Naturally, they're making a second one.

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.
I was an extra in NYSM! But I've never seen it, mostly because I've heard how stupid it is.

They did pronounce "Burgundy" right. But it's Mardi Gras in New Orleans in the movie. Because it's always Mardi Gras in New Orleans. They didn't show any parades or anything, but Bourbon Street was packed and people were wearing beads. Because it was Mardi Gras.
Oh, they were also able to get an apartment in the heart of the Quarter (during Mardi Gras) because a French Interpol agent was on the team.

Let me guess: they did NOT interject a dose of reality by having any of the characters groped by or thrown up upon by drunken revelers in the crowd?

All that needs to be said about After Earth is that Will Smith's character is named "Cypher Raige." Excuse me, " General Cypher Raige."

"Starring Jaden Smith" was all I needed to know to take a hard pass.

the hardest to learn / was the least complicated
Okay, we got Kingsman from the library, and I have to say, it was really fucking entertaining. My only real problem with it was Jack Davenport's criminal lack of screen time.

Just got back from a screening of Green Room at the new Alamo Drafthouse here in SF. I didn't think it had the depth of Blue Ruin but it was an entertaining (albeit rough) ride.
