Another of those movies Mary and I thought we could watch together. We both bailed after 20 minutes. Un-freaking-watchable.

Bernie Mac said originally that he wanted this to be a drama. I thought the concept had potential considering how frowned upon interracial dating- or rather, dating white people- is in the black community (Hispanics & Phillippinos are all right), but I guess the studios couldn't resist turning it into a comedy. This could have been as socially relevant as the original. I bailed at the preview.

Wow. I actually rented it and enjoyed it. I mean, it was pretty much a fluff movie, but it did make me laugh.

I got enough of this film with the non stop tv spots. I never even considered watching the actual movie.

A few are...

Mr. and Mrs. Smith - full of every cliched sequence and bit of dialogue we've all seen countless times - in addition it to dragging on for what seemed like an eternity.
Land of the Dead - I lasted maybe 20 minutes. Why?... Consider the title.
Wedding Crashers - Despite the majority of the folks enjoying this, I found nothing funny about it.
The Island - I left probably only minutes before the ending as it was more exciting to insert my own...
You see, I am taking the summer off to complete a writing project. My days begin by dropping my girfriend off at the train station for her commute to Boston. From there, I make my way to my neighborhood Barnes & Noble to write for maybe 3 hours. I then have to kill a ton of time before I have to pick her up at the train station later in the evening (as we live a half-hour away from it and it's just easier to stay in the general vicinity) - so, I either end up in a theater or visiting my sister. With that, I've seen a goodly amount of movies.
But what keeps me up at night is why I actually leave the theaters prior to the closing credits in the first place... Is it that I am cursed to never appreciate another film again, or is it that there truly are some pretty awful films out there?
Okay, I've gotta split. Heading off to a 3:15 Dukes of Hazzard.

I skipped this when I had a chance to see it for FREE!
I needed my eyesight!

We also turned it off early, about 30 minutes in.

The sad thing is there is a possibility that you were watching HWMNBNUPOD for roughly 20 minutes. Lions Gate can go either Spielberg or Ed Wood on us. I have seen their movies!

Not sure I follow. "Guess Who?" was a Columbia/Sony film.

My mistake. I see that Beacon in doing the RJ film and Lions Gate is doing SIMS and (in my mind) I had the two reversed. On my mistaken premise that Lions Gate was doing the RJ film I was kidding around that they would choose Ashton Kutcher from "Guess Who?" to play RJ. He fits the age parameter of HWMNBNUPOD. I have seen Lions Gate films that have been top notch and I have also seen some that stank on ice.
