for some reason I never even had an urge to see The Curious Case of Benjamin Button. It just never seemed like something I would like from the trailer I seen.

His rants are superb; the last one was Sex And The City2.

Do you have a clip of that one, I'd really like to see it. My wife loved that show, and I always gave her shit for it.

I have no desire to see Sex and the City 2.  I watched the first movie on HBO  ..    I saw most of the series once it got to syndication - I didn't have HBO then.  The show was just ok..it annoyed me more often than anything.

I'm tired of hearing how women are going to flock to this one.  Some women actually like action movies...or dramas...or whatever.  I read some stupid story that called Iron Man 2 a chick flick because it did well with women viewers.  And the story claimed it was just because of a few specific things - the character issue stuff - and totally ignored that women can and do like comic books and the characters.

Everybody know that all the women like movies like Dirty Dancing or Bridget Jones's Diary or Pretty Woman, sorry I can't believe that you like action or superhero movies with no sentimal and sugary stuff.



Of course this isn't my opinion

[Dragonfire]

 

Well evidently you've forgotten some of what I've reviewed and liked.  Like A-Team..Kick-Ass.  Stuff like that.

and they have no romance in them? Faceman doesn't have a love storyline
WOW I'm shocked, really if he haven't

Of course I think nothing of this, but it's fun to play this role

[Dragonfire]

I didn't consider either of those to have much romance even though there are relationships in the movies.  The relationship stuff is very minor.

Kermode is a god. Check out his "It's Only a Movie" book which is a good read. He talks about being hit by Helen Mirren and her handbag at the BAFTAs and getting thrown out of Cannes for heckling

I bought it with my last order from amzon.co.uk

I saw it's available as unabridged audiobook as well, supposedly read by himself. I am considering if I should go that route. Otherwise I'll probabyl read it on my next trip to Germany (August).

Watched the Sex and the City 2 review.  Somehow I think I enjoyed that way more than I would have the movie.

[Najemikon]

I have the book too, but haven't read it yet. Thanks for posting that link, Achim.

In it he references a piece by Linda West, but he couldn't quote it because it's so rude. Well, I just had to find it then!  It is very good...
