The great thing about post-apocalyptic narratives is that it's basically a license to invent any dumbass cultural tic you want. I forgot his name was Peeta, and just thought people were feigning British accents whenever they said his name.

I got really mad when I realized that his name was Peeta/pita and he was all about baking bread.

(I might have actually been more mad that it took me so long to catch it.)

A nasty woman, I think you should try is, Jess.


Should I point out that Katniss and her sister Primrose are both named after plants, and their mom uses plants to heal people? Also katniss is arrowhead shaped, and her father literally tells her to look for the plant she's named after for food, and Katniss gets food for her family by hunting beyond the fence.

Ooo, can I ask a delayed question? Why wasn't there a review for Now You See Me? I had thought that was a major release.

Also, About Time has just come out here. Vargo's review already gave me a negative feeling about it. But seeing the poster is incredibly aggravating because it communicates absolutely nothing about the movie except that it stars Rachel McAdams' breasts. I, too, can get angry about things that sound really dumb.

Weird...usually big releases come out at or near the same time in South Korea as they do everywhere else but this one was delayed by a few months. Doesn't help that the movie also sounded pretty boring coming right after After Earth and The Purge. I will forever wonder whether it is legal to get gay married on Purge Night.

Frozen's release date is also a big question mark right now, which seems weird considering that's it's a Disney Princess film. But I'll actually be paying attention for that one, since it sounds interesting.

Maybe it's just the beard but I though Kline was supposed to stand in for Billy Murray, doing general comic relief. Or I assume so at least, like most people I decided to skip this turkey.

I thought Kline was supposed to be Robin Williams. He kind of resembled him.

For those who haven't seen it (most of you) his character's storyline involves him trying to get laid in Vegas so he can respark his love life with his wife. This was his wife's idea. This whole movie was really just too raunchy to be a good "dad" comedy.

Oh noble brogy. Overflowing with meaty wisdom and secret sauce.
About The Secret Life of Walter Mitty. I checked on the novel and the 1947 version and how does this movie use the daydreaming aspect (which seems very central)? A beaten down man daydreams to escape drudgery, the dreams sparked by something happening around him. Something I feel has been done many times before.

I got the impression from the review that the only thing in common between novel and movie is the guy daydreams a lot. Does he actually go on adventures trying to find Penns character or is it all dreams? Skateboarding, really? A dream as well?

Time for a little robot chauvinism!

I reviewed Last Vegas about a month back for my newspaper. To sum it up it's essentially the movie version of the creepy old guy who sits in his car at the beach and leers at all the girls in their bikinis.
