Funny People

Sandler is a humorous individual. Only other one in this movie I found more than mildly amusing was the fat kid from Superbad. I think he was actually the funniest of the people.

Just saw "Orphan". It's pretty good. I didn't think it would be, but it was, in my opinion. Some crazy moments...

Resident Evil: Degeneration. It was great for what it was, and it was good seeing Leon and Claire in action together again. The dub voices were top-of-the-line, but the mouthflap matching was horribly out of sync, like the oldest daikaiju flick dubs.

Goodbye, Norma Jean, a movie about the rise of Norma Jean Baker into Marylin Munroe...which despite that winning premise, was pretty weak.

Brüno. Awful, just awful (And I love Borat and the original Brüno sketches).

Aliens in the attic. I enjoyed it, quite a bit actually.

You're just homophobic! That's your problem! Gay-basher!

I just saw Bruno not too long ago either. And the gayness part didn't bother me. That was part of the joke actually; America's attitude towards homosexuality as a whole. It was more graphic than I expected, kind of caught me off guard, but I LOL'ed the entire time!

.....I don't think people didn't get "the joke." If you're seeing Bruno, you know what its addressing.

I hate how people think they need to explain why Sacha Baron Cohen comedy.

It wasn't part of the joke, it was the joke. It's just that homophobia on its own is far more disturbing than it is funny. And if I met a guy like Brüno, he'd get on my nerves regardless of his sexuality.

Exactly. The difference between Borat and Bruno is that Borat is a lovable loser and you almost feel bad for him. Bruno is just an asshole regardless of his sexual orientation.


For the record, I loved Borat and felt Bruno was more offensive than funny.

Heh, I actually just watched Big Fish for the first time in years as well. I don't like Tim Burton at all, but this is a really great movie.

Green Lantern: First Flight. Changes aside, I liked it. Mary was kinda "wtf?" at some of the stuff they changed, but it's not like 99% of people know or care about Boodika anyway. I've liked all the DC animated flicks so far.

Hoping to see G.I. Joe tomorrow...
