Very, very funny. Diaz won’t be nominated for an Oscar. Not for “My Sister’s Keeper.”

I added a few lines and cleaned up some of the grammar/spelling, but the changes were all very minor and didn’t alter anything about our bet. I’m already spending the money you’ll owe me.

I think you took some editorial freedom with this blog post. But it’s mostly as I remember it. You better start saving your money.

OK, so what other movies have you reviewed because I need a good laugh today

For some reason, when I press on the “Terminator Salvation” link, I get a blank screen.

I don’t know who “Amanda Grayson” is. Never mind. It sounds like a character from an English novel, or something adapted for the screen from an English novel …

Comment on How I Won the Abortion Debate by Patrick T. Lafferty

As a fellow pot-stirrer, this makes me smile, though I think you should give Bill Hicks a shout-out as this was part of his act back in the day.

My personal method for killing abortion debates involves repeating this statement to any anti-choice advocate in earshot: “We don’t need a new law. If you really believe the anti-choice rhetoric, bring a successful prosecution of a former mother-to-be for pre-meditated murder.” That usually ends the debate. I just cannot imagine a jury of any woman’s peers convicting her of murder for having an abortion.

In other news, Happy Birthday!

I do believe you’ve summed up the reason why we love movies that have plot holes everywhere in three words: Fun! Lasers! Aliens! And Spock.

To be honest I didn’t know, or care, who Winona Ryder was before I read this. But now I’ve gone to search for some images, it really does seem strange how they cast her to play Amanda Grayson.

The two of you are hilarious. I read to the very end, and even though I loved the movie, I agree with every one of your questions (stupid design of Romulan ship, big holes in time travel scenario having to do with Old Spock foreknowledge), and I laughed the hardest at the Winona Ryder/Marisa Tomei parallel, and now whenever I think of all the big fat *holes* in the plot that you pointed out, ummm, maybe you should get your post over to J. J. Abrams before he or his cohorts start writing the next script.

Thanks for the review of a film I had been wanting to see. I think I will take your advice and see it at a matinee and go with the right attitude.

I believe the tide is going to turn. I got my downsizing papers from my job last Friday and have been concerned for just 7 days. I can’t imagine what you have learned about the rigors of real life the last few months…I like quotes:

Hard work brings prosperity; playing around brings poverty.

~ Bible ~

It’s true hard work never killed anybody, but I figure, why take the chance?

Aren’t those ads flippin’ annoying? I always get the, “Get a job,” ones and I’m like, “Hey asshole. I seriously am trying. What? You don’t want me to sleep?? Eat?” They just want me to find work. Growl.
