It's not like they can shoot you through the screen.  :P

A Million Ways to Die in the West. Funny stuff, I like this movie. Not great but I like the humor in it.

So, it looks like Lynch is pulling out of directing Twin Peaks.

I thought Divergent was crap.  Hunger Games ripoff with an even stupider back story and a female lead who is sorta on the plain side.

I saw both (take that, Ide!) and other than the fact they are both coming-of-age stories set in a dystopian post-apocalyptic future with an action-oriented teen-female lead and a star-crossed romance plot, they are really quite different.   ;)

HG has a much better cast, which at times almost rescues it from a comically awful script.  Almost, but not.

Divergent almost sucked me in with the premise - a kind of riff on the Platonic inquiry on how to build the ideal city.  Had it explored that theme with even a touch of subtlety, it might have held some interest -- instead it went off in the least interesting direction possible, I guess in a bid to hold the interest of even the most severely ADD viewers.

Enough of that drivel.  Did you think the lead was cute or not?

I may waste time on Languish but that doesn't mean that I consider my time to be completely worthless.

Is it one step closer to that holy grail of movies - a movie that is nothing but stuff blowing up?  ;)
