Iron Man 2 was totally sold at the theater I go to.

Season 8 episode "Jerome is the new Black" of Family Guy. Overal a huh-hum episode, but a fantastic rant from Quagmire vs. Brian that had me think, "Yeah, he's got a point, really."

Okay, I'll tell you. You are the worst person I know. You constantly hit on your best friend's wife. The man pays for your food and rescued you from certain death, and this is how you repay him? And to add insult to injury, you defecate all over his yard. And you're such a sponge. You pay for nothing. You always say, "Oh, I'll get you later" but later never comes! And what really bothers me is you pretend you're this deep guy who loves women for their souls when all you do is date bimbos. Yeah, I date women for their bodies but at least I'm honest about it. I don't buy them a copy of Catcher in the Rye and then lecture them with some seventh grade interpretation of how Holden Caulfield is some profound, intellectual. He wasn't! He was a spoiled brat! And that's why you like him so much - he's you! God, you're pretentious! And you delude yourself by thinking you're some great writer, even though you're terrible! You know, I should have known Cheryl Tiegs didn't write me that note. She would have known there's no "a" in the word "definite." And I think what I hate most about you is your textbook liberal agenda, how we should "legalize pot, man," how big business is crushing the underclass, how homelessness is the biggest tragedy in America. Well, what have YOU done to help? I work down at the soup kitchen, Brian. Never seen YOU down there! You wanna help? Grab a ladle! And by the way, driving a Prius doesn't make you Jesus Christ! Oh, wait! You don't believe in Jesus Christ or any religion for that matter, because "religion is for idiots!" Well, who the hell are you to talk down to anyone? You failed college twice, which isn't nearly as bad as your failure as a father! How's that son of yours you never see? But you know what? I could forgive all of that, all of it, if you weren't such a bore! That's the worst of it, Brian. You're just a big, sad, alcoholic bore.

I watched it last night.

except the part about big corps taking out life insurance on employees. How is that shit legal?

Why wouldn't it be legal?

The company has an insurable interest - if they're willing to pay the premiums they can do whatever they want.

Surely that must require some form of consent from the employee?

The Take- 2004 documentary about stuff in Argentina. Big economy crisis happened there, lots of factories being shut, lots of workers then took over the factories themselves and ran them in some sort of weird bottom up socialist system. Quite cool.

re-watched The new Star Trek again, this time on Blu-Ray. snazzier resolution, but not by a lot. Still a fun movie that zips by. The next movie needs more Bones McCoy. And a Ban on Time travel as any part of the story whatsoever.

Yeah, the new McCoy has all the makings of the real McCoy, pun intended and was outstanding among the new cast. New Kirk was ok, in a rash, overeager kind of way, and Spock was also good. I thought Scotty was overdone, though. And Chekov was just silly and annoying.

Watched most of the part of Quantum of Solace that I hadn't watched before.  Methinks it's time to put the Bond franchise out to pasture.  One thing I noticed is that the Bond fight scenes are less effective than Bourne fight scenes because Bourne has much less grunting.

[Eddie Teach]

Methinks it's time to put the Bond franchise out to pasture. 

Agreed.

I was wishing it was dead from the moment the current Bond said he wanted to do gay scenes and full frontal nudity.

Argh, I hate that!

With Scotty the guy said he wasn't trying to be the old Scotty but just approaching the character as a normal character, a engineer who happens to come from Scotland.
But...myeah. He was a wee bit manic. I can't critise the performance too much, his place in the plot though was lame.

I watched Club Paradise and One Crazy Summer.  Both so totally 80's that they are almost impossible to watch in any other decade.
