At least they are open about being vilified thieves.

Apparently you can pay $50 for Blackberry service and still eat on my dime.

I can honestly say there was not a single moment of this movie that I didn’t enjoy.

Most movies have one or two parts, you know – even the great movies have some cheesy line, some stupid moment where you just think, okay, we could have done without that.  I don’t remember feeling that even once.  It was witty and exactly what you would expect from a comic genius like Steve Carell.  In fact, about halfway through the movie I decided to start writing down lines I thought were funny.  I had to stop after just a few minutes because I had to keep pausing to keep up.  If I had one word to describe this movie, it would be “I would SO watch this again!”  And also, “I can’t think of a single word to describe this movie!  I have to use entire sentences!  And even break them apart!  With exclamation marks!  Just so you!  Understand!  How FREAKING AWESOME this movie!  Is!”

My favorite parts:

“When we argue, the terrorists win.”

“I’ve been waiting for this since Nixon.”
“Bring it on, I’ve got a new pacemaker, I could go all day!”

“Sir, I’m sure whatever he’s doing is vital to the nation.”
“Goodnight, Moon.  Goodnight cow jumping over the moon.”

“Bruce, I will smash you in the face.”
“Thank you!”

“Still, it’s a shame about all those dead movie stars.”
“Ah, yes.  What will we do without their razor sharp political advice.”

And the entire “New Guy” scene.

I don’t like to watch movies a whole lot, because I just get bored with them.  But this movie made the journey of watching it so much fun, it might just rival Hitchhikers in frequency (if I could ever find the DVD!).

Wow, Moms.  Kudos.  Motrin has actually taken down THEIR ENTIRE SITE to avoid any more bad PR from their commercial!  They are apparently sending out apologies to the thousands and thousands of women who are in an uproar because we don’t like being talked to like we’re 12.

In case you can’t find it anywhere else, here is the offending ad.  Just keep in mind that J&J has officially apologized!  Do with that what you will.

Spoilers ahead!  “The Happening”

Sooo we just watched The Happening.  I can wholeheartedly say I don’t recommend this movie to anyone.  Not only did it have ridiculous and unbelievable political overtones, it was just a dumb movie.  Justin’s commentary: “Can you believe they made a movie where trees are the bad guys and the good guys almost get killed by an old woman?”

I think the creepiest part of the whole movie was where Wahlberg was talking to that plastic tree.  That was just WEIRD.

Other than that, it didn’t really do much for me.  I had the movie figured out in the first five minutes, so there was not really any suspense.  In fact, I’m pretty sure that what happened was M Night had some Taco Bell grilled stuffed burritos one night before he went to sleep, and had a weird dream, then he had to get up early to go to his kid’s career day, and all day he was thinking about his dream, and when he got to career day he told the kids about his dream, and they were like “That sounds like a great movie!” and he was all “That would be a great movie!  You should write it as a class project!”  And they did.  And it sucked.

My favorite part?

The.  End.

“There’s not enough rich people in the world to make everybody rich, but there’s enough poor people in the world to make everybody poor.”

This article cracks me up.

What’s he going to say to that? How is the President Elect of the United States of America going to react to an offering of a toothless, albeit hypoallergenic, dog for his daughters?

Will he take the diplomatic route and accept the dog along with its name, Machu Picchu? Or will he do as I would and say, “Thank you, Peru, for your generous offer to send my daughters to therapy for the rest of their lives. However, as the cost of their psychiatric care would fall to me, I’m going to have to refuse your creepy demon dog and just get a poodle.”

By the way, does anyone else think of this dog when they hear “hairless toothless breed”?
