Yes yes yes. I am probably the biggest Black Dynamite fanboy on this forum. It's just too awesome.

Watched the most recent Harry Potter movie. Never read the books even though I'm a fantasy fiction junkie. Been sort of keeping up with the movies with moderate interest. I thought this one was the least interesting. Lots and lots going on that had me either lost or simply not caring. Absolutely forgivable, as they've tried to cram so much into the movies at a loss of many secondary characters. A death near the end of the movie was treated as a major character death, but I had no real idea why anyone cared about said newly-dead character, as they'd had very little screen time. Anyway, I think the entirety of my complaint on the movie is based on my not reading the books. I felt like I was watching Lost, only I'd skipped every third episode of each season, and missed the entirety of the penultimate season.

I hate how I don't have time for movies anymore. Black Dynamite is something I easily would have watched years ago, but I'm one of those people now who needs a compelling reason to see a movie. I used to just see everything I could and not worry about whether or not it was "worth it." Saw a lot of stinkers and a lot of surprises. I miss it.

My worry with BD is the joke gets stale after about 20 minutes or so. Anyway, it's down my list a long ways.

It does somewhat, but it's still fun if you're in the right mood.

Can't say I'm very excited about Hangover 2 after seeing the preview. It just looks like the exact same thing.

Nuh uh, this time it's a monkey not a tiger, and, and, it's a face tat not a tooth, and, and, it's a Thai guy not a white dude.

Totally different.

Source Code was pretty good. I had a few problems with the ending, but overall liked it.

'It's Kind of a Funny Story' is sort of a modern, cool 'Breakfast Club.' Galafianakas was pretty good. I enjoyed it, but it was a little sappier and less authentic-feeling, IMO, than the director's other movies 'Half-Nelson' and 'Sugar.' I would recommend it, however.
