Nonelvis:

Does this mean you won't come with me to London to see this?

Nonelvis:

Somehow, I doubt this is a film franchise that requires detailed knowledge of canon and continuity.

Jette:

Excuse me, I do not go see everything no matter how horrible it may be, and the only reason I saw "2012" this week is that my new day job hadn't started and I wanted to see all my little film critic friends.

I turn down chances to see movies for free all the time if they look sucky and I'm not getting paid to review them. I watch Tyler Perry movies and football movies only when someone is paying me.

Thing is, sometimes you get a surprise. I would never have seen a Sandra Bullock-starring football movie willingly, but "The Blind Side" is actually pretty good. "Kung Fu Panda"? Fun even if I didn't like the animation style.

Trailers are terrible indicators as to a movie's quality, movie reviewers aren't reliable, sometimes you just have to take a chance. Indies are often a better risk than Hollywood films, but sometimes it's worth $8 and two hours for me to decide about a film for myself.

P.S. Have you seen "Whip It" yet? Worth a look before it leaves theaters. Ellen Page isn't annoying, and Juliette Lewis ... isn't in it for very long.

Columbina:

We wanted to see Whip It, actually, it looked like careless fun. Drew isn't a fabulous director but you can tell she enjoys herself, which is nice. The problem is that we only have the weekends to see films, and by the weekend we're often so tired out from the week that we mostly want to sit on the couch and stare at the ceiling with the cats.

Mmancuso:

The ceiling that does not have cats is boring to stare at.
