No, I can't stand 95 percent of the guest hosts for Raw. Hugh Jackman put over Zack Ryder though, so that's why he's awesome.

Anyone seen Ides of March? I'm considering thoughts and want an opinion on what to expect.

[SuperMcGee]

The Descendants kind of fell flat, in my eyes. Ides of March is probably the next movie I'll check out, or maybe Margin Call. Pretty excited for both ensembles.

Have you seen the 2009 version? I'd give that a solid 8/10. Was the newer version better?

i tried to watch it (the swedish version) but got lost fairly quickly. subtitles+exhaustion just didn't mix too well.

Just got back from this. Sarah Jessica Parker deserves award nomination for her performance.

I do not understand all the positivity i have heard about this movie. Im a sucker for political/historical movies and am a huge fan of much of the cast and I absolutley hated it. All the performances were good, but the movie was incredibly implausible to the point of being downright nonsensical. The characters do not act like real people and just act to move the plot along. Skip it, ******* terrible.

I feel like it's just obligatory to use whenever the situation presents itself.

And....I just got it.

Got back from Sherlock Holmes: A Game of Shadows. It was decent, like the original. Got my money back and a free ticket to any Century Theaters because they stopped the movie due to a false alarm set off in the mall and we had to evacuate for a few minutes and I missed about 5 of the final 30 minutes when I got back. So that was nice. Can't wait for The Dark Knight Rises next summer.

Decided i was gonna watch a movie and i ended up spending 30 minutes sifting through the Netflix website trying to decide which one.

First world problems.

I do this a lot; I want to watch a movie, but nothing sounds interesting.

I think that the performances are likeable but when you analyze what occurs and how the characters react to situations. It makes no sense. None at all. I don't want to necessarily post specifics because of spoilers, but just as an example that will not destroy the movie. The impetus of much of the action is the meeting between Gosling and Giamatti. That seemed to me to be no big deal. They are both members of the same party and despite working for opposing campaigns shouldn't matter at all. Considering rival campaigns go through the same cities and the community is small, these people must meet up all the time. Even after the meeting, Gosling tells PSH about it just not right away. The fact is PSH's reaction was nonsensical and it shouldn't have been a big deal. That wasn't the worst thing in the movie, but I feel like the meeting wasn't nearly objectionable enough to cause all the drama it does in the film.

Well, he's pretty much playing that character is Wedding Crashers, so....

Except that it's 10 years later, he's fatter, and the writing is much worse.

I didn't think it was that unrealistic. He more than likely assumed that Gosling was thinking about switching campaigns, and PSH talked about how much he values loyalty in what he does. Even a small chance of switching campaigns in an election that the present candidate can absolutely win is definitely something worth firing for.

I enjoyed the movie a lot..

I took my kids to see "We Bought a Zoo". Let me just say even if you dress her up as a zoo-keeper, Scarlett Johansson is fine as frog hair split 4 ways.
