Drew? Has that ship already sailed, or is there a chance you wrote something up about Carlin on your blog? Or was Beaks guessing wrong? Not that you HAVE to write a Carlin tribute; I was just hoping to read what you were going to say, if anything.

And I can't wait to read your thoughts on Wall-E!

I think that means its a rotten film.

Those Indy 4 reviews are going to come back to haunt folks forever because that statement above is what Mori should have said in his Crystal Skull review.

Here's the dead horse and here's me beating it with a 2x4, but let's count the lack of internal logic in the first 20 minutes of Crystal Skull.

1. Magnetic gunpowder.

2. Hyper magnetic object that is very selective in the metal it attracts.

3. A single base that contains the greatest (and most destructive) artifacts known to man guarded by only 5-6 soldiers.

4. Atomic fridge.

5. "Mary Williams"

I don't want to turn this into an Indy 4 talkback, but giving a pass to gaping holes in logic in one movie but holding them against another is a pet peeve.

But we've been suspending logic multiple times every summer since Star Wars came out. If Wanted is bad because the dialogue is junk, the acting is terrible, the direction is weak and overall the film is just a giant mess with unsympathetic characters, then by all means rip it a new one. But don't complain about lazy internal logic or haphazard construction because that describes 90% of our popcorn flicks, from midichlorians to microwave weapons to magnetic gunpowder, we let a lot of stuff slide in the name of entertainment.

I've dumped on Indy 4 a lot, but I was willing to overlook the flaws in logic had they dropped some bad unnecessary characters, utilized more practical effects and cleaned up the dialogue, just like I do for every other popcorn flick.

HANCOCK looks really lame.

This movie is trying SO hard to be funny, it's pathetic. Oh, a slacker asshole has superpowers, but he doesn't want to be bothered using them to help people. FUck him. It's lame and not funny just because WIll SMith accentuates his lines in the same way he does in every movie.

I hope this movie goes DOA after it's opening week. I'd rather re-elect the Bush administration to another 4 years in office than see HanCOCK get a sequel.

The thrust of your Wanted review isn't only an indictment of the film, but of the fans who might get enjoyment out of it.

Seriously though, people don't give you enough credit. BTW, how is Mortal Kombat coming along?

I take back everything I said and beg for your forgiveness. Never say that moral equivalency doesn't work.
