Haven't seen it, but everyone I've talked to who has, liked it.

Traffic thoughts...

.... Why is the person who falls asleep at the red light always the first one in line?

.... No you will not damage your Pontiact Grand Am going over speed bumps. There is no need to slam on brakes and go over them at a snails pace.

I hated that movie. Bunch of crap thrown together.

Malkovich was indeed the only high point.

I enjoyed Burn Afer Reading. I thought Pitt was hilarious. But I like that kind of Dry humour and just the whole premise that nothing really happened of any significance by the end was funny

Malkovich was pretty good though, I'll admit that. But ugh, Brad Pitt.

But wasn't Pitt supposed to be an annoying himbo in the movie?

Yes, but I thought it was terrible acting, like some stupid highschooler trying to pull off the role.

Also, I really hate Brad Pitt, so there's that working against him, but I honestly thought he was just plain terrible in this.

I didn't hate it but it wasn't as good as I was expecting (and hoping for).

For some reason, I found Clooney's "I think I can get a run in" line funny.

Re; Brad Pitt
I think he's pretty versatile myself. I like him.
I still laugh everytime I see 12 Monkeys, he played that part to a T.

Eastern Girl · 02-07-2009, 09:34 PM

I've hated him ever since he ruined the movie Seven for me. The acting at the end of the movie... terrible. I thought he was okay in the Oceans movies, but otherwise, I just plain don't like him.

bigtmac19 · 02-07-2009, 09:35 PM

I liked Seven, I thought he was pretty good in that as well.

I just realized EG's sig is a picture of the 2007 Sens/Pens handshake line.

I also pretty much agree with everything EG has said about Brad Pitt.

He laughed, and then walked away.

Same thing happened to me a while ago except my dog had just finished. I was reaching into my jacket to get the poo bag but before I could get it out some old dude started to go off on me... I pulled out the bag and told him to take it easy...

Leave me alone. I'm very warm in my blanket of generalizations.

My monitor is so big and awesome that I can read Rathji's spoiler clearly without hilighting it.

I had a really good day today. I also had a really good day last Friday. This might not seem special for anyone, but I can't remember the last time I really had a "really good day" aside from some ski trips with my friends back at christmas.

Bah! Women with perfect credit, women that look like the one on the cover of Maxim.....I give up

My credit is good, but not perfect.

And there's no way you'll ever see me on Maxim. First of all, I'm not that skanky.

Not really though, they're just catering to what women will buy. If they marketed some new Neil young type guy as the next big thing that every girl has to embrace, it wouldn't take off.

They're catering to women, and they know what woman are going to buy. IE They didn't say "let's pick anything, but market it well and girls will buy it, and oh, how abot these 5 guys, we'll call them the backstreet boys and they'll sing simple dancable songs that girls can sing along to and... hey look, it worked!"

It was "Okay, what do these teeny bopper girls want to hear?...okay now that we know that, let's manufacture a group to cater to what they want."

....and it created one of the sh**tiest times in mainstream music.
