2. hee.

The reviews were scathing. I think they called it the worst movie of the year.

Two thumbs up for Sicko, though. :thumbsup:

Sorry but nothing about that movie is grabbing me.

8. i like steve carrell- we saw him in a play in chicago over 15 years ago...

9. I like him, too. Have since the Daily Show.

And I haven't seen the movie. I just really liked that line from the critic. :D


on edit: and I love Wanda Sykes!

4. It was a pro-environment movie...

if you want to promote a cause, you have to speak the idiot's language. If you want to show that there's a hypocrisy tying religion and business, you have to speak in a religious language.

Unfortunately those of us who aren't religious can't get past the religious language. So let's assume that the message isn't directed toward us, k?



(Got that?)

5. It looks terrible.

I actually thought Bruce Almighty was good. But this one looks TERRIBLE.

6. Religious groups have been giving away tickets, so that doesn't surprise me...

I thought Bruce Almighty was pretty irreverent, not really religious. This explains a lot about what I didn't understand.
