    I guess helping Nixon write his book is where she learned how to lob softball questions at people.

      Frost/Nixon is on my list. I consider it a must-see.
      Never really developed a taste for tequila. Kind of hard to understand how you make a drink out of something that sharp, inhospitable. Now, bourbon is easy to understand.

        I thoroughly enjoyed it.

          Saw 2012. Almost surreally terrible, except for the CGI, which was amazing.

            I'm debating whether to see that at a real theater as a matinee ($5), or wait until it hits the $2, second-run theaters in town.

            I knew it'd be bad, but the effects are probably enough to get me to see it.

              Just go in expecting pure Hollywood "product," and you'll be entertained. I wasn't quite prepared enough for how lowest common denominator the rest of the production was -- I mean they literally put zero effort into anything but effects and advertising.

              But definitely see it on the largest, highest res screen you can, because that's the whole movie right there. Somebody will eventually pirate it and cut out everything but the effects, and we'll have the greatest 45 minutes of disaster porn ever made.

                  Idiocracy:

                  Good for what it was. It's probably viewed better with a group of friends, and probably even better with a group of friends after a few adult beverages. I wasn't expecting a whole lot, and that's about what I got. It's basically your Saturday Afternoon Killer movie, which is fine.

                  Worth a viewing, and chances are you'll be repeating some of the catchphrases in the movie (GLM.......looking in your direction ).

                      Does anyone else get THIS network? They keep showing older movies that keep roping me in. The Great Escape last night (fantastic movie), and right now I am watching Farewell to the King, which for my money is the best movie starring Nick Nolte as king of a band of Bornese headhunters in WWII.

                          Beautiful documentary of life in a Carthusian monastery, where the monks are pledged to poverty, solitary prayer, labor and meals (except for communal choir) and silence.

                                Has anyone seen Pirate Radio yet? Thinking about checking it out either this afternoon or tomorrow before work..

                                Saw the Men Who Stare at Goats and, honestly, I was expecting more. it had funny parts, but overall I thought it was pretty bad...
