No, I hate that it won't let me get on & look around without becoming a member first (I know, I know -- it's free, blahblahblah). I'm just cranky enough that I don't want to "buy" if they don't let me kick the tires & drive it around the block first.) Plus, it's just -- meh. Lots of better places to go pester people! exactly

(Arnie Hammer should get awards for those performances) you can feel the way they're ubber athleticism gives the scenes a sort of hyper-awareness. Whoa! wait a minute....that was one dude? I seriously thought they cast twins wow yeah if that was one guy he deserves an award Yea it's all one guy, it's really impressive what he did. Yeah I was going to say something about the opening scene being the best but that sounds a little like slamming the rest of the film which I'm not, it's just that the opening was f^cking spectacular. The opening scene was brilliant, the perfect introduction to the character. Pitch perfect casting and scripting.

Firstly the inability to explore the sight before registration is part of the point of the sight. Well, I know that -- it's a big part of my irritations with it. I have a bad habit of picking & choosing when I decide to feel irritated by someone trying to manipulate me and that was one of them. Heh, my bad, thanks -- comes of having the TV on with the sound down and not watching it -- made some assumptions there by catching a bit of the ad. Glad to hear it; being Sorkin's I figured it would be worth seeing. By the way -- if he's still working on his Keith Olberman thing -- looks as if he may need to hold off a bit for another few scenes. Wonder how that's all gonna work out.

Was theater hoping last night and caught part of the Social Network again, thought I should mention that Sorkin has a rather amusing cameo appearance in the movie.
Also saw Due Date the other night, its pretty good but considering I was expecting something like the Hangover but it wasn't quite that good. Downy Jr. is terrific as always and Zach-I'm not gonna attempt his last name, was pretty great too. I have to say my favorite part of this is that it was a sort of spiritual sequal to Kiss Kiss Bang Bang, what with RDJ's wife being the highly underrated Michelle Monaghan.

I saw Due Date and like you was kind of expecting a Hangover type comedy, was a little disappointed it didn't have more laughs and frankly felt most of the dramatic moments fell flat. The exception being the ashes/Grand Canyon scene near the end. that scene worked and pretty much saved the movie for me. Don't want to sound too down on the film it is certainly watchable. Also saw and really enjoyed the latest Harry Potter. I was disappointed in the previous one and the news that this one would not take place at Hogwarts made me nervous because that was a big problem with the Half Blood Prince IMO. But this one was excellent. Well acted and directed. I vote The Goblet of Fire as the best followed by maybe Prisoner of howeveryouspell it and this film. Am looking forward to the conclusion.

Forgot to chime in on some of the trailers I saw... Green Lantern looks like crap... Green Hornet looks pretty cool I actually think Green Lantern could be pretty good, to be honest I've not connection to the property so I don't really care much if they screw it up. That being said I like Ryan Reynolds and I think Martin Campbell is pretty good so hopefully it'll turn out well. Oh yea and Blake Lively has sky rocketed up my list of Hollywood hotties lately so thats another reason for me to like the film. Green Hornet does look slightly insane and funny. I'm still kinda bummed they couldn't seal the deal to get Steven Chow to play Kato and direct as I think Chow would have made the film that much more awesome. Even so the guy they've got for Kato looks pretty good and I'm really digging the way they seem to have gone crazy with his fight scenes. I'm also loving the whole styling from the awesome car to the whole heroes in suites and overcoats, just kind of awesome in a Philip Marlowe sorta way.

No problem with Reynolds I just thought the Special Effects looked something from the 80's and everything else in it looked similarly old fashioned, predictable.

Went to see 127 Hours. Before the movie they showed the trailer for The Swan. Then the movie started and I spent what felt like 127 hours wishing I was watching The Swan.

I would have walked out but I was with the worlds biggest James Franco fan

Watched Psych last night so naturally while reading this post my brain immediately thought of Gus's Black Goose! ;D

Not sure how old the movie is, but recently saw 'The diving bell and the butterfly'. I tend to steer clear of stories about people dealing with tragic events, but this one is really well done, lots of humor to offset the reality of the guys situation, superbly acted and directed.

Went to see The Fighter this weekend. Good movie and Bale is INSANE So during the movie, which is as much about addiction as anything else, kinda funny that 3 people were kicked out of the theater for being drunk and rowdy ;D
