Summer Movies I Won't Be Seeing
The Happening, by M. Night Shamalamadingdong. Described here as "Maximum Overdrive with hydrangeas." Classic.
The Love Guru, which apparently is responsible for the death of hope in America. Seriously. I've read pans before, but never have I seen this much vitriol. Which review to quote? The one that describes it as "anti-funny," which is mild, or the one accusing Mike Meyers of "putting a shotgun into the mouth of comedy and killing it?" Or maybe the podcast, wherein the reviewer seriously ponders whether or not Mike Meyers may be slightly retarded?
I was curious about Get Smart, which is one of my favorite shows ever, but it's looking like Netflix material. I am bummed out by this.
So I'm holding out for Wall-E. C'mon Pixar, save my summer!
Isn't one of the benefits of kids that you no longer have time to do things like see movies (especially during summer) and so are spared the anguish of deciding which ones to view?
I saw a review on the web touting Wall-E as the best movie ever made. Period. I'm skeptical, but I'm buying some tickets.
The Time-Life five season Get Smart is the only DVD set I own. Excellent value at $199.

Well, it's a mixed blessing. You don't have time or money to waste, so when you do get a chance to go to the movies you have to make sure they're gonna be good ones.

Really? I am totally going to believe that person. Yay!
I liked Iron Man, and am looking forward to The Dark Knight, myself...

Yeah, still want to see Iron Man, and we're planning to see The Dark Knight during the week that we ship The Boy off to grandparent-ville...
