The movie was the typical chick flick bullshit....but Gerard Butler is ****ing hilarious. He's the only reason that movie is bearable for guys.

All of his lines until the last 15 minutes were dick and pussy jokes.

Then it turned into the usual bullshit where the tough guy who hates women....falls in love with the control freak.

Katherine Heigl is a horrible actress.

Heigl seems like she's an a-hole too for some reason.

I watch the directors cut this past weekend and by the end I didn't give a shit what happened.

Great looking movie and the action was superb.

I did however like No Country for Old Men so I'm hoping that keeps my head above water.

I didn't "love" Watchmen, but I was overall pretty impressed with it, particularly the first 15 minutes or so. The beginning montage offered great visuals with a kick-ass soundtrack.

Watched a documentary just now called King Corn. It's about the prominence of the corn crop and industry in our country and in our food. Anyone who is familiar with Michael Pollan's book The Omnivore's Dilemma will be familiar with the issues discussed here, for instance, the explosion of high fructose corn syrup in our food. Pollan is interviewed throughout the film and a note in the credits thanks him and says that he heavily influenced the film.

Most of the movie takes place in Greene, Iowa. I've been to Greene a few times, and I've been to mass in the church whose steeple you can see in at least one shot of the town. Not everyone will be able to appreciate that kind of relation, but anyone can appreciate the openness and honesty of Iowans and small Iowan farmers. They are a significant part of keeping this film entertaining and pleasant as well as informative. The lead narrators and makers of the film (think Michael Moore or Morgan Spurlock) have almost no entertaining personality, but all is forgiveable because of what they do show us.

It is important that books like Pollan's and films like King Corn make it to a wider audience. It is important that people realize what is going on. It is a noble desire to advocate for healthy living, and protect the small, independent family farms, and work government policies, and commercial interests when possible, around both of these goals. A smart consumer will be a healthy consumer. These films and books make that possible.

If you have netflix, you can watch it instantly.

For the Record I've seen both films Transformers 2 and Watchmen. Watchmen > Transformers anyday. The level of acting was better along with the soundtrack. Watchmen was more "adult" driven where Transformers catered more to the kids.

No disagreement here. I don't need to own it but I was certainly impressed with several parts of it.

You have to admit there's a kernel of truth in what they said.

I could have gone there, but posting a pun that bad would have left me a husk of a man.
