    - Which might be good, since quite literally there wouldn't be time in the day to see everyone I would want to see. -- nm - TFox Jan 26, 12:29

The clip of Artie Lange talking to Conan is ominous. "40 million dollars not to work? Is that a possibility?" -- nm - Mop (227 lbs) Jan 26, 11:45 3

  - The only film I disliked more this year was Friday the 13th. - David Jan 26, 12:02

- I've said it once, I'll say it again: How the hell do you consume that much media? - musubi Jan 26, 11:52 1
  - It's better this year because we spaced it out more. - David Jan 26, 11:55
- mega-F?? That's crazy-talk. -- nm - Don Homer Jan 26, 11:49
- Wait, the Hannah Montana movie gets a B- and Away we Go a "mega-F"? Nice to see DLC at work. -- nm - pmb Jan 26, 11:48 6
  - Hannah Montana is remarkably sweet and earnest, albeit lowest common denominator for the most part. -- nm - David Jan 26, 11:51 5
    - I've seen the tv show a couple of times and it's fun and cute for what it is and the way she talks cracks me up - zork Jan 26, 11:58 2
      - IMO, she looks like Bugs Bunny -- nm - con_carne Jan 26, 12:01
      - The movie had none of the charm or humor of the show. -- nm - pmb Jan 26, 12:00
    - It's brutally dull. Even my kids got bored. -- nm - pmb Jan 26, 11:58 1
      - It's hard to keep White House children entertained these days -- nm - oblique Jan 26, 11:59
- Why on AWG? -- nm - Reagen Jan 26, 11:47 22
  - There wasn't a single character in that movie I didn't want to slap. It was the worst kind of pretentious. -- nm - David Jan 26, 11:49 21
    - Not my reaction at all. I thought most of the characters hit more than one note. -- nm - pmb Jan 26, 12:02
    - definitely a lot of them were unlikeable. But I liked the two leads (rudolph especially) and the Montreal couple. -- nm - Reagen Jan 26, 11:52 19
      - I'd probably throw Paul Schneider in there as well. - Reagen Jan 26, 12:07
      - Did you ever submit a grade on this? -- nm - TFox Jan 26, 12:06 2

        A solid B+ in my eyes. -- nm - Don Homer Jan 26, 12:06
      - Krasinski made my Worst Performances list. I'm starting to think he's as one note as Cera. -- nm - David Jan 26, 11:55 6
        
        I saw Youth in Revolt this weekend. Michael Cera apparently can only play 1 character but he plays it VERY well - Guigue Jan 26, 12:02 2
        
        uh. isn't the plot of that film that he ends up playing two characters? - Beryllium Jan 26, 12:03 1
        
        spoiler kind of - Guigue Jan 26, 12:07

        "like the forced laughs of a billion art-house patrons" -- nm - David Jan 26, 11:58
      - No doubt (and some of them are supposed to be unlikeable). -- nm - Don Homer Jan 26, 11:52 7
        
        I'm never clear on why that makes it better. - David Jan 26, 11:56 6
        
        Every film needs an antagonist. -- nm - Reagen Jan 26, 11:59 4
        
        No film needs to be 100% antagonistic. -- nm - David Jan 26, 12:00 3
        
        except we disagree that it is. (see: list of character that I liked) -- nm - Reagen Jan 26, 12:01 2
        
        Krasinski's brother was very likable, imo. -- nm - Inigo Jan 26, 12:19 1
        
        mentioned above. - Reagen Jan 26, 12:20

  - It sucks when you're support staff and they expect you to somehow make this start working for them. -- nm - i'm gay for figure skating Jan 26, 11:45 3
    - This is true. This is also why I tend to shy away from MS products in the workplace; too much waiting around twiddling thumbs. - Beryllium Jan 26, 11:56 2
      - it has its moments - oblique Jan 26, 11:58 1
        
        Oh, I agree ... I just mean, sometimes when it fails, it does so rather gloriously ... and the repair process is not exactly peppy. -- nm - Beryllium Jan 26, 12:01
