Watched American Hustle last night.  Quite a bit good about this movie, in particular Amy Adam's performance and the way both she and the big blond wear their tits, and quite a bit bad, in particular the leisurely pace.

On a scale of 1 to 10, I rate it watch it on cable if nothing better is on.

Given that it doesn't exist, no. :unsure:  Unless you mean watching someone play the 1992 video game, in which case it would depend, but also probably no.

You know what I meant; apparently it's called 'Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time'

I liked it.

Are you sure you're not just subconsciously reacting against the preponderance of silicon nowadays?

Yeah, her performance was good.

I'm sure I'm very consciously reacting against the preponderance of nipple masking, monoboob shaping padded bras nowadays.

That's not a sequel, it's the original film.  It just has a subtitle for... reasons, I guess, probably marketing synergies with the game.  All kidding aside, I actually did not know what you meant.  I thought you'd accidentally uttered the title, but meant some other franchise. :)  I've never seen it, but Disney is very hit or miss with their live action fantasy properties.  But Tron: Legacy and John Carter are great.  It could be alright.

Yi: indeed, American Hustle sucks.  I told ya.  It was my no. 74 out of 100 for 2013.  How was it nominated for an Oscar?  Five words and a letter: David O. Russell/Jennifer Lawrence fever.  The Academy is pathetic.

They are the finest proto-Diharrea bowel movements ever produced.

It doesn't suck.  It's a B- movie.  It's watchable.

Ideologue

B- sounds a lot like a C+.  A C+ sucks.

Mindblowing.

We've gone over this before. Your grading curve is more generous than most. His B- probably translates to a B+ from you if you enjoyed the movie the same amount.

i'd rate hustle a C. it was downright mediocre. worst voice-over i've ever heard, too. at least it got a little better mid-way through - i'd have probably walked out of the theater if it hadn't. the first twenty to thirty minutes felt like watching paint dry.

The Brain

Guardians of the Galaxy. Entertaining and forgettable.
Women want me. Men want to be with me.

Tonitrus

The Lone Ranger.

I swear that stuffed bear is the same one from The Wind and the Lion.
