Very cool.

Watched the last two hours of A Beautiful Mind with Russell Crowe last night, I was too comfortable to get off the couch and go to bed!

Not sure how much I missed, but I could not stop watching it. And it is just so not my kind of movie. Never really been a Russell fan, although Gladiator was fantastic.

Amazing story,even in apparently a few too many liberties taken with the tale. But Crowes acting was what kept me watching, truly remarkable performance. Ed Harris is always brilliant, Jennifer Connelly stunning in it.

Funny movie, but it wasn't the best out of the 4 Vacation movies.

It was so funny how Rusty kept winning all the cars. About that black jack dealer that Clark could never beat. :lol:
I love the alternative casino with games like

Pick a hand

Pick a number between 1 and 10

Rock, paper, scissors

That's GOLD that only Chevy Chase could pull off.

The Dictator

I think I went in with expectations that were too high. The movie wasn't remotely funny. Cohen has jumped the shark, alas :(

Nobody's recent work is ever as good as their early stuff :(

Ali G and Borat are master classes in the art of funny. The Dictator is not. It's less funny than Iron Sky which is saying something ...

Maybe I am just getting older????

^ I think I've decided to avoid it for pretty much that reason. I've enjoyed Borat and Bruno to at least some extent, but Cohen's going very much back to the scripted narrative film ala Ali G: Indahouse, which I really struggled to enjoy. I think his candid-camera 'trolling' style works way better. Alas, you can only do it so many times before people are onto you.

Another great example of the 'genre' is Brass Eye by Chris Morris. Incomprehensible that some of these people were so easily duped into appearing.

(I should note that this is easily one of the most tasteless TV shows ever made. Don't watch it if you are easily offended):
