This reminds me that I still haven't seen Superman Returns. Why? I have no idea. Mostly to do with never having any money when the thought occurs to me.

And I'm glad to hear that about Mission: Impossible III. I'd avoided it because of the Tom Cruise craziness, but now I shall have to look it up and give it another chance.

Mmmm... A-Team movie...

And thanks for the shout out to the New York Broncos. They're my favorite team!

Stacer, save yourself the trouble and don't see either of them. They were really rather lackluster and just a big show-off of every man's wants. Now, if you want a good movie to go see, go to "Little Miss Sunshine."That was a fun movie (even though the "moral" is thrown right at you in once scene).

Well, I could try and take issue with that, but since I'm a guy, you've already blocked off any argument I could make.

Except one.

Went with my wife to both of them, and she really enjoyed them, as well.  Neither M:I:III nor Superman Returns was perfect, but I didn't feel cheated out of my money in either case.  Well worth viewing.

Yarr neither be as bad as Gemm says but none be amazin', I don't think any be walking the plank over those two.  Best movies I`ve seen this voyage be Ice Age 2 an' Cars, tho I`ve only seen a total o' 5 movies in th' theater this voyage.
Screw it, I'm buying crayons and paper. I can imagineer my own adventures! Wheeee!

I want to make fun of you for talking like a pirate Sprig, since I doubt you pillage/plunder/rape all that often. Anywho, I didn't say they were terrible or bad, or that it'd be a waste of money. I'm just saying if you don't mind waiting for them to hit DVD and renting/buying them on DVD then just do that.

Nowadays movies seem to hit the stores quicker than you can think of a good move against the Master Computer in a game of Battle Chess.

I think Sprig's gone Cockney, what? Sounds more of the west country than the pirate talk.
