I saw Inception, and I very much enjoyed it.

Was that because it is not Wonder Pets?

That tall brunette (basically the only women I date)

Nice try. But you, sir, live in Iowa.

You probably enjoyed it because it's good.

I was wondering what their plan was going to be to put the billionaire's son under...

[SHOW]

and had to laugh that Saito bought the airline.

An A for imagination and A for effort. But even in their waking hours, the characters were unreal.

I was once pretty high on Anderson after really loving Rushmore and then seeing Bottle Rocket. I didn't like Tennenbaums quite as much but still enjoyed it. After that, other than his good (but almost predictable) soundtracks, there hasn't been much to get excited about.

watched dinner for schmucks last night...

insufferable

Iowa City is different from the rest of Iowa! (I've lived over there also. Blech. Come to think of it, my only serious relationship of my Ames college years was a chubby blonde. doh.)

To make up for mentioning a romantic character drama, I just watched 12 Monkeys again. It continues to be awesome.

Other than some very good fight scenes and good performances by Marky Mark and Christian Bale, The Fighter is a bad movie. Five and ten years from now, people are going to be looking at the Oscar nomination and wondering how the [expletive] that happened. The mom and the sisters are over the top cartoon characters and the plot could not possibly be more clichéd or obvious or hackneyed, even if it was a mostly true story.

this is what I've suspected since I saw the first trailer, then everyone assured me that the trailer was bad and it's really good.

I still haven't seen it yet. I'm not surprised Bale turned in a good performance.

But cliche doesn't get less cliche just because it's performed well.
