(Just look at him! When the hell did he get so goofy??)
Instead of transcending its own awfulness and thereby becoming a real gem, well, it sounds like it just sucked the balls of mediocrity. I know exactly what Joe's talking about--there's nothing worse than expecting something spectacularly putrid and getting a warm turd instead. Which is too bad because I was already having visions of pitchers of beer (it's at the Studio Movie Grill). Maybe if we go in after having already consumed a pitcher...
The Studio Grill also has Zodiac, which I admit I'm curious about. I couldn't help noticing, however, the christing 165 minute runtime!
Ok, time to throw wood on the fire for one of our last cold nights here in Texas. D won't be home til around 1am (stupid store) so I have to amuse myself tonight. So far it involves wrestling with the cat who fucking refuses to get out of my lap. It is a little chilly in here. I've kicked him off at least three times (it's awkward typing). He's got mad purring skills, though, so I've relented. His snuggling/burrowing skills aren't bad, either.
Hang on, judging from the sounds of the children outside, it would appear someone is tearing one of them limb from bloody limb. Ah. I think someone jammed a finger while playing basketball.

I enjoyed Zodiac a lot, for what that's worth, and the length of it didn't really occur to me during the film.
I felt the same way about The Departed. Running time isn't an issue for me, unless the movie SUCKS. Then, ouch. But if you recommend it, I think we'll try to knock it out this week.
I second the recommendation for Zodiac. But hey, I'm David Fincher's bitch.

The Departed's pacing was incredible, in the wrong hands the film would've seemed interminable. I liked it alot more than Babel. Me, i'm a part time Fincher bitch. Well, almost full time.
CSJ: I'm working on Zodiac, we should have it done before the week's up. We just gotta haul our asses across the street!
Daveyyo: I liked it much more than Babel as well. Babel was decent but The Departed ruled, like totally.
