I would just be happy if Star Trek were good again, or if something were around to deliver what it used to have.

You guys sound nostalgic.

I get that. But he's just that. In every film. Is he type cast or just a one trick pony?

Like I don't expect to see him doing a Schindlers list of something but he hasnt exactly got much range has he? If any?

Who cares? He's great at what he does. Schwarzenegger didn't need range.

Ah he's a lovely guy. Met him at the Letterman show few years ago. Just seems to play the same parts all the time. Might surprise me if he gets the role in Star Wars he's hounding Disney for.

Everybody loved almost famous. Somehow made us feel nostalgic for a time we weren't even born in.

I feel like Rock could have a decent range if he wanted, but probably likes being big hero guy. That and Hollywood probably doesn't have many different roles for giant muscle bound Cubans.

Would you like to upgrade to a large soda for 50 cents? No

Would you like to upgrade to a large popcorn for $1? No

Would you like candy with that? No

Would you like butter on your popcorn? No

Do you have a rewards card? I've been trying to give it to you the whole time I've been here. You see me doing this.

Do you have I.D.? You've got to be kidding me.

What movie are you watching tonight? Please die.

Was that a medium diet coke? ...


Remind me again why people don't like going to the movies.

Gosling and Crowe are great, but this movie is maddeningly stupid.
