Speaking of which, I saw Women Talking last night. I really wanted to like it (to prove Joe wrong about saying that no one on RM would like it) but I didn't like it. A bit tedious, I suppose. Unbelievable even as a broad allegory and too on-the-nose over and over again.

I want those people to suffer and I want their enterprises to fail.

Gets more interesting when you see it as Favreau grappling with his experience making Iron Man 2
