Tropic Thunder (unrated version)

Entertaining for fans of 1980s action cinema. Some nice LOL scenes. Robert Downey totally carries the whole thing. Movie is also notable for Tom Cruise actually managing to make me chuckle.

7.5 exploding directors out of 10.

I like that show. It's very irreverent.  ;D

Rewatching Wanted I just got on DVD. I love that movie. It's like a nerd wanking marathon. :D

Anyway, the best recent comedy series is the United States of Tara.

Finally got around to seeing Watchmen. Liked it a lot.

Friends I went with and who hadn't read the comic were left dazed and confused.

Other moviegoers were laughing and giggling at drama scenes, wangs and love scenes. <_<

I noticed that too. Many people unfamiliar with the comic book seemed to be a bit lost.
In the theater I saw it, when (SPOILZ)Dr. Manhattan exploded Rorschach a woman shouted out loud "WHAT THE HELL?!?"  ;D

I didn't think it was that confusing, and I'd never read the comic.  My wife was also able to follow it pretty well (she even pointed out to me "that guy with the sign keeps popping up" to me), although she thought it didn't have enough action.

Yeah, I'm not sure what was confusing...

I would agree with your wife that I would have liked more action.  Less emo action between Jupiter and Night Owl.
