Alarming News: I like Morgan Freeberg. A lot.
American Digest: And I like this from "The Blog That Nobody Reads", because it is -- mostly -- about me. What can I say? I'm on an ego trip today. It won't last.
Anti-Idiotarian Rottweiler: We were following a trackback and thinking "hmmm... this is a bloody excellent post!", and then we realized that it was just part III of, well, three...Damn. I wish I'd written those.
Anti-Idiotarian Rottweiler: ...I just remembered that I found a new blog a short while ago, House of Eratosthenes, that I really like. I like his common sense approach and his curiosity when it comes to why people believe what they believe rather than just what they believe.
Brutally Honest: Morgan Freeberg is brilliant.
Dr. Melissa Clouthier: Morgan Freeberg at House of Eratosthenes (pftthats a mouthful) honors big boned women in skimpy clothing. The picture there is priceless--keep scrolling down.
Exile in Portales: Via Gerard: Morgan Freeberg, a guy with a lot to say. And he speaks The Truth...and it's fascinating stuff. Worth a read, or three. Or six.
Just Muttering: Two nice pieces at House of Eratosthenes, one about a perhaps unintended effect of the Enron mess, and one on the Gore-y environ-movie.
Mein Blogovault: Make "the Blog that No One Reads" one of your daily reads.
The Virginian: I know this post will offend some people, but the author makes some good points.
Poetic Justice: Cletus! Ah gots a laiv one fer yew...
Thirty-six percent, I really don’t know what I’m gonna do now.
I love irreverence especially with regard to superheroes, and I’m a sucker for a good setup. But then Mr. Smith went and opened his big mouth, and you know what that does? It tips me off that the big names in the movie speak in cliches. When people speak in cliches, they don’t think creatively. When they put something together for entertainment without thinking creatively, they put together flops.
That’s still not enough to put me on the other side of the fence. Movie still looks funny…but these reviews are coming in.
They should have stuck with the original concept, but last minute re-shoots doomed Hancock to banality.
It’s like dating Britney Spears. Too much drama.
Don’t expect to laugh more than five times and you won’t be disappointed.
I’m willing to give a superhero film some leeway in terms of realism but a film has to remain true to its own inner logic and this one keeps changing the ground rules.
The good cast does what it can with the weak material, but the waste of talent only makes the film’s total failure that much more regrettable.
I dunno. Maybe I could go ahead and go if someone I know comes back and says it was really great, don’t believe those stupid critics, etc. I was really looking forward to this one.
Ever notice when you’re told to keep your mouth shut about politics, or you get to watch as some third-party is told to keep his mouth shut about politics, the guy getting shushed up is almost always a red-stater? You know why that is? It’s because being a liberal is all about being bossy. And it’s contrary to human nature to shut up bossy people.
Maybe, for the sake of left-wingers like Will Smith, someone should start shushing ’em up anyway. Because I don’t mind seeing movies made by liberals, but it rankles me when I pay good money to see movies that are unimaginative and if you’re trying to fool me into doing it, it’s best to keep it a secret from me that you’re an unimaginative person who goes around parroting Keith Olbermann and Michael Moore sound bites.
But it worked out well for me here. Movies aren’t cheap nowadays. So by all means, let’s keep shushing up the red staters but let the blue staters continue to peel off with their unimaginative and childish nonsense.
