Adding a whole character 4 months before the original sked release date is not a good sign.
Yeah. I mean, the trailers have already been released. That's ... disappointing.

"Robert, it's like bad pussy. Forget you sniffed it and move on."(/endless Medellin references) I really hope that's not true, though.

Last night I watched Legends of the Fall with the commentary on - the director and Brad Pitt. It was pretty interesting.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
We're watching The Transporter 3, and Jason Statham just beat up a bunch of guys with his clothes.
I was hoping he'd have to choke a bitch with his pants, but sadly not.

I love Jason Statham entirely too much...and, by extension, the Transporter series. But I have to say, 3 left me cold. Despite that guy from Prison Break, who is awesome.
Though the vanquishing the enemy with your suit jacket is a scene I'm thrilled is included in each movie. So, very cool.
If they make another, I hope they'll spend a teensy bit more time on story and the supporting characters. The love interest in 1 and the kid and the crazy blond chick in 2 and the French cop in both made me _care_ about why the driver is so cool. It's not just the arms and the spectacular driving.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."
Throughout "The Bank Job" I was bouncing in my seat in the theater wondering where the fight scene(s) would be. I mean, where the fuck are the fight scenes? It takes too long to get there, IMO, but I liked the movie anyway!

Saw the 2nd X-Files movie last night, and it was a great deal of fun. Like a really long, meaty episode. And lots of touches that make complete sense only to long-time fans. I loved that Mulder and Scully were so comfortable together even in a romantic relationship--laughing in bed, making bad jokes, Mulder-Scully pillow talk about toxicology results.
And Skinner! "He won't do anything crazy." And Scully turning to give him the perfect look of "How long have you known us?"

Wow, this review of Inglorious Basterds makes it sound like an incredible film. I might just have to see it, even though I usually find Tarantino films tiresomely self-indulgent.

That's funny Kathy, I just finished reading the one in the New Yorker which eviscerated the movie and Tarantino.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."
The comments I heard 4 months ago seemed to indicate this is a TERRIBLE movie. However, Bill Maher seemed to think it was really funny.
