    Just a question on all this new movie stuff... is anyone here really excited about seeing the new Total Recall? If you ignore that it's not really going to be too much like the original- actually looking back, that movie wasn't all that great- I think it might be a good, fun movie. Not an entry for an Oscar, but surely it can't be all bad...
    Need I say more?

    Watched Clay Pigeons yesterday. Actually pretty good. Joaquin Phoenix and Vince Vaughn. Has been described like a western small town Fargo.

    A town smaller than Fargo?

    All you ever see is a grain leg, a mechanic shop, bar, and diner, so yeah. For such a tiny town it has more hot chicks than I usually see in towns like that. 2 when the number is usually 0.

    Total Recall was stellar.

    The action was the best I've seen in a long time.

    I've never so badly wanted a female to beat me up with her crotch as I did while watching the movie last night. My wife agreed.

    (watch the movie, you'll understand)

    Seriously though, it was a stand alone movie. Less of a remake, more of a re-imagining. For a movie that relied so heavily on GGI, the physical action sequences were almost entirely real, and I was pleasantly surprised.

    And holy crap... Kate Beckinsale is SOOOOOOOOOOOOO fine. And a total bad a**.
    Whenever my wife asks me why I never wear pants around the house I simply remind her:

    I went to see this last night (oh yea, I was carrying a P7 PSP...it caused no panic, and I didn't shoot anyone)


    It wasn't nearly as good as the other Bourne movies. It dragged along. There was a 15 minute motorcycle chase through the streets of Malta that could have been 2 minutes. My wife after about an hour asked if we "had to stay"

    Agreed, I felt like I wasted my money on that one.

    I don't care if the movie turns out to be terrible, it is IMPOSSIBLE to waste money watching Kate Beckinsale kick butt for an entire movie.

    Impossible.

    More truth was never spoken...
    If I had my way, I'd have a happy marriage with Kate Beckinsale and, after starting watching Weeds again, Mary-Louise Parker... mmm, can't hate on that Nancy Botwin!

    Ms. Beckinsale is an obnoxious British leftist (and quite anti-gun). So after a drunken weekend of debauchery there's really no reason to spend another minute with her.
    Modern liberalism is based on the idea that reality is obligated to conform to one's beliefs because; "I have the right to believe whatever I want".

    -Friedrich Nietzsche
