Pajiba

So sorry to hear that this sucks - I was kind of looking forward to it!!!

OMG!! My first first!!! Hooray - guess everyone is at lunch right now . . . .

War, Inc. is more like another bad spoof movie (Anti-War Movie?)...

Shhhhhh! Don't give them ideas. Even though I would seriously love to throw a beer back with Joan Cusack, this movie was crap from the get go.

it's the sort of disaster that makes you pine away for other times, when Cusack was starring in much better films, like Must Love Dogs.

oh, snap!

serisously though John, why do you insist on doing this to me? I have loved you and stood by you through the years and your ever increasing list of just downright horrible movies. I am reaching the end of my rope.

Don't make me do something I don't want to do, John.

Don't make me do something we will both regret...

Sounds pretty damned awful. That said, I won't stop watching Bill - if for nothing other than New Rules. If not for Bill and my second husband Keith Olbermann, I would watch nothing of current events on television.

CUUUUSSSSAAAACK!! NOOOOOOO!!

C'mon, man - you're good. "Martian Child"? This? What's going on, man? Is there something you're not telling us? "Grace is Gone" was great. but what the hell? You don't need the money, do you? You're John. Frickin. Cusack. You've made flicks that an entire generation loved. You've made a diffe...

Oh, you got to get freaky with Tomei? Well nevermind, then. Carry on...

Sooooo not interested in this movie. I will instead revel once again in the glory that is High Fidelity.

I think it's time we all came to grips with this simple, but important fact:

John Cusack is not nearly as cool as you think he is.

I'm sorry folks, but it's time to rip the band aid off.

Totally unintentioned--but this review actually made me want to see this movie because it sounds so damn strange!

Grosse Pointe in my pants.

Must Love Dogs in My Pants.

What?

Being from Cleveland, I must say if anyone ever threaten any type of harm on our beloved Lebron (King James!), World War III would begin.

This movie doesn't interest me in the least, but I am intrigued by that header picture. Is John Cusack large like Conan O'Brien, or is Marisa Tomei just elfin and wee? I somehow never got those respective impressions of either of them before. He's kind of hunched over and still looks gigantic next to her. Does he have a huge bobble head? Why is her coat eight sizes too big? Is it his coat? But he's already wearing a coat! Why would he have been wearing two coats? And what the shit is he pointing at? It looks like he's using The Force to levitate something. Look at Marisa's face; she looks totally unimpressed by his Force-wielding.

I hate this movie based on that picture alone.

I WANT MY TWO DOLLARS!

/enter the grammar douche

...not a one managed to eek out much scratch...

Sorry to be the douche, but I've seen this twice recently and it bothers me. The word is eke, not eek.

/exit the grammar douche

Sometimes I loathe myself.

It is tit-rippingly awful

Um, ouch.

Also, John Cusack has not been cute in years. Sad face.

Rowles, I don't know which is more surprising, your utter disgust for Cusack's movie or thinking he wouldn't make a utterly disgusting movie. It's John Cusack for christ sake.

Pookie & TK, I ain't saying that Cusack's the be all end all of actors, nor is he the coolest sambatch on the planet, but c'mon - he's made some pretty goddamed good movies, and it sucks balls to see him doing this kinda crap.

But then again, if he got to get down with Tomei, right on, brother!

Sarina, Cusack is that giant. In college I knew a few girls who drooled over Cusack, and their favorite feature about him was his heighth. The would squee over a scene in Say Anything when he pauses in a doorway (I think to say something to his sister), and you can see him clearly hunching to go through the door.

The American public is not nearly as angry and delirious about Iraq as the left and who makes these crappy movies? Rich, liberal and insulated hollywood types that haven't got a clue about the military or the reality of war and the enemy we are fighting. People go to the movies for entertainment not to have some retarded ideology shoved down their throats.

Lloyd Dobbler has grown up to to become his parents. Soon he'll be shopping at Talbots with his wife telling her she looks sexy those mom jeans and bitching about how high the thermostat is set in the winter. I'll still see this though. Bad Cusack is still better than Speed Racer, ...Vegas, or those insipid bitches from New York.

Bummer about the Cus.

On another note, congratulations to whoever is responsible for accepting money for the advertisement with the tattooed and pierced boogyman that is on every Pajiba page now. Not only have you given me heeby jeebies of the worst kind, but you have also given Eli Roth the new villain for Saw Infinity, about a demented clown who chases down lepers and tattoos and pierces them as their limbs fall off.

Later skaters, I'm off to gouge my eyes out. Happy Memorial Day Weekend.

"Titrippingly awful"

There's a term I haven't heard in a while. Reminds me of Helena Bonham Carter in 'Fight Club' when she says "I haven't been fucked like that since grade school."

I heard somewhere (The Onion's AV Club, perhaps) that Cusack is one of the few celebs who looks better in person. I wish this one was good, usually the phrase "Cusackian Hitman" would be enough to get me to a theater. Sadly I'm torn between my man-crush and my Pajibian Overlords. I'm with Skitt, give the man credit where credit is due.

Dear Bistro:

"Heighth" IS NOT A WORD.

Thank you.

"as though it were written by an unemployed troll on an political blog who spends all day typing out conspiracy theories with the same fingers he uses to prod around in his own asshole, digging for nuggets of wisdom."
Dustin, I must vehemently disagree with you about not finding nuggets of wisdom in one's ass. If one's ass is receptive to ideas and thoughts and is carefully cultivated and nurtured for maximum yield, then my friend, the ass can be a bastion of nuggets.

Where's the Indy review?

Skitts I agree with you Cusack isn't the best or worst actor to come down the pike. But as a general rule when actors are on the brink of total oblivion they either begin to preach Religion or Politics. Take for instance Cooney, when he got tired or bored with acting he started hanging out at the U.N. giving save the world speeches. But strangely enough he didn't get bored running after than young twat. I guess what I'm saying is that I want my Actors to act, my Preachers to preach, and my Politicians to do whatever it is that he or she does. Except for you McCain.

Bugger!

I had been really looking forward to this.
Cusack, Akroyd, Cusack and hitmen...so much promise....squandered.

*Note to Self*

NEVER, NEVER, NEVER, NEVER, Ever shake hands with anyone named Pookie.

Why did I think this movie came out three years ago?

I think its time for John's manager, agent, therapist... to set him aside and explain that its time for him to give up movies for a while and find a nice project on cable TV that he can sink his teeth into. Sort of like the group of aging actresses who have found a new life on cable: Holly Hunter, Glenn Close, Kyra Sedgwick, David Duchovny... Wait, Duchovny's not a chick? Does Garry Shandling know about this?

"I want my Actors to act, my Preachers to preach, and my Politicians to do whatever it is that he or she does."

Agreed. I'd like to add one more to that list, though: ...and I want my Celebutards to walk in front of a bus.

"I want my Actors to act, my Preachers to preach, and my Politicians to do whatever it is that he or she does."

die of tertiary syphilis

According to IMDB, Cusack is 6'3" and Conan is 6'4", really only making them "Hollywood Tall" since they're being compared to the Cruises and Stillers of the world. Of course, I am a shade under 6'6", so I may be biased. I don't have to duck for doorways, but the occasional hanging store display may brush the top of my head (and by that, I mean smack me in the forehead as I stumble around awkwardly).

Also, this movie looks/sounds/tastes like crap and Cusack only gets so many more free passes. By my count, he's had 3 good movies, 2 decent movies, and 19 outright shit salads out his past 24, dating back over a decade. Not a good ratio.

Dear I Love Beets,

Though noted as an uncommon spelling, both Merriam-Webster and dictionary.com confirm that "heighth" is, in fact, a word. If OED disagrees, then so be it, but I'm happy with at least one reputable back-up on my side. However, my "the" instead of "they" was a flagrant typo. Butcher me all you want on my lack of proofreading.

Now shall we sweep this debate under the rug, kiss and make up, and go have some margaritas?

-- "the ass can be a bastion of nuggets." My ass was a bastion of nuggets until about a half-hour ago. Pajiba must be high in fiber.

suck on a sponge and get E.Coli

I am a shade under 6'6", so I may be biased.

Now, that's just unnecessary. I object, sir. As I've said before, anything over six feet is showing off. You know what? Fuck all of you tall monstrosities. Hulking around with your high altitudes, making me feel short! The nerve. I am of statistically average height! It is not fair that I should be made to feel like a damn Smurf all the time!

I need a drink. Alcohol makes me feel tall. This is because tequila fixes everything. It's true.

come to the horrifying, far too late to do anything realization that the bottle of Grey Goose they're carrying about with is in fact, filled with gasoline and attached to a lit-rag.

Tall guys have it easy
it's tall girls that have it hard (although I may be slightly biased)

pants/dresses/etc are all designed for the avg woman (about 5'-7" I believe)
I am about 5'-10", and my sister is just slightly over 6'-0". she is 16 years old

she and my mom went out to find a prom dress. three were long enough on her out of (what my mom claims was) 600 or so (my mom doesn't like shopping)

THREE

and I have a feeling what ended up hanging right above the floor on her was supposed to be a train

pants long enough? next to impossible

I knew a girl in high school who was 6'-1 1/2", her mom had to sew extra material onto all her jeans so they didn't look like capris

alright, sorry, didn't mean to go out on a rant there...Sarina, you up for a drink now? apparently I need one too

[sidenote: HA!]

the avg woman (about 5'-7" I believe)

Statistically, the average adult female in the United States is between 5'3" and 5'4".

Bistro, I love it when motherfuckers come on here and try to correct your spelling or grammar. This is pajiba for christ sake. If you go to the home page a title of one of the articles is " The Science of Fucking." I don't think being literate or even semi-literate is a high priority with this bunch.

mistake a NASA spaceship for an Exxon public restroom, and upon exit, trip and fall into the sun.

Ha! Love it.

Damn, the average woman is fuckin' short.

NO, YOU are are as dull as an old-man boner!

So many good lines in that review. Bravo, Dustin.

War, Inc. is only getting a limited release, the second Cusack movie in a row to qualify for that honor. (Grace Is Gone got a rave review on the front page of the Times art section, and then opened and closed in seven theatres.) I built up huge strategic reserves of man-love for Cusack based on Grosse Pointe Blank and High Fidelity, not to mention Being John Malkovich, The Ice Harvest, and... oh, lots of stuff. But those reserves are really running low.

Statistically, the average adult female in the United States is between 5'3" and 5'4".

really? wow...I guess being from a family of giants (the uncles are 6'-8", I feel short at my family reunions) made me lose some perspective on average height (or "heighth", word Bistro)

but that re-inforces my point actually. ain't no place in affordable women's fashion for a girl taller than 5'-8" or so (or the inverse, the far shorter than average)

and that sucks

Damn, the average woman is fuckin' short.

If I could reach your head without the aid of a stepstool and/or your cooperation, I'd smack you in the face. HARD.

Bethy, you tell my poor wrists and upper arms poking out of just about every shirt I own that tall guys have it easy. This being America, larger sizes are made for fat guys, not tall ones, and I end up having to roll up the sleeves on all my button down shirts.

Also, Sarina, that kind of tall person backlash is exactly why I cry myself to sleep every night (on my tiny little pillow with my gigantic feet hanging off the end of the bed)

that kind of tall person backlash is exactly why I cry myself to sleep every night (on my tiny little pillow with my gigantic feet hanging off the end of the bed)

Hey Hey Hey Hey Hey! Listen here Mr. Peepants! I'm 5'10 on a bad day, and frankly when I see dudes that tops 6'2 I have to go change my panties. So you just cut that sleeve rolling, giant feet hanging bullcrap out right now and tell all the short people in the world to suck the left one. Hard.

No offense, Sarina

I shall try with vigor to not offend any of pajiba's female members, presently I have zero height restrictions when it comes to the ladies, as long as they have the necessary intangibles I will gladly wave all previous height requirements.

Ahhh... It's so nice relaxing here at my average height (6'0"). Pants and shirt fit perfect and the world is my oyster.

I don't care how tall a guy is, but...when I see dudes that tops 6'2 I have to go change my panties. Word.

I hung out with a guy back in December who was 6'9". When he was sitting and was standing we were about the same height...it was craaaaazy.

Hey, my wife is literally a foot shorter than me. So I suppose I am somewhat sympathetic to your plight, Sarina.

"Either audiences have massive war fatigue, or -- because of the mess in Iraq -- they can't afford to drive to the goddamn movie theaters to watch them."

Or maybe people don't like to see their country continually hammered by the media. Just a thought.

MC, sorry, that probably should have read "tall guys have it easier than tall girls"

I agree that it is difficult for any person who doesn't fit the "average" in any way shape or form

ha TK, one of my uncles is 6'-8", has been married twice now, and neither wife is/was above 5' flat
quite amusing to see them together

[sidenote: DOUBLE HA!]
"I want my Actors to act, my Preachers to preach, and my Politicians to do whatever it is that he or she does."

Agreed. I'd like to add one more to that list, though: ...and I want my Celebutards to...

be dropped off in a warzone at night, under the assumption that they're there for troop support where they blindly stumble toward the flashes of gunfire, mistaking them for paparazzi flashbulbs.

sidenote: NOBODY should complain about height - try finding a friggin' decent suitcoat that fits a 38 pound, turkey clawed conjoiner... one that doesn't make him look fat, either...

So I suppose I am somewhat sympathetic to your plight, Sarina.

Well, it ain't all bad, I suppose. I can buy clothes from the juniors' department, so they're cheaper. Well, shirts at least. I have long legs for my height, so I have to buy normal-people trousers. I can buy trainers from the little boys' shoe department, so they're like half the price.

On the other hand, FUCK THE GROCERY STORE. Why is everything on shelves eight feet off the ground? And then they yell at me when I climb to reach it! Well assholes, if you had the common courtesy to provide me with a stepstool, I wouldn't have to scale your shelving, now would I?

When I was in college I had a friend who was on the basketball team, Dave was about 6'11". He had this Korean gal she was about 4'11", she came up to about his navel. Dave used to tell me things about her.

As a short person, all you average people shut it. I have 5 inch heels for a reason, other than my impending arthritis and crippled ankles. I will break out my duck tape and the heels and tape your mouth.

I would much rather be tall than short. I cannot find pants that fit right because not only am I short, but I also have curves. That combination equates to having to buy pants that do not fit in the waist or length, but will fit on my legs. I wish I were tall or had not damaged by ankles so bad years ago.

Please don't pick on the tall gangly kids. When you see us crammed into the middle row seats on your flight, please, have a heart and give up your emergency exit seat.

I'm a foot taller than my wife too.

6'0" is still not average, Handel. But the chemically mutated children will get us there before long I'm sure.

I don't like being significantly taller than women. I like compatibility! I'm doomed!

I don't like being significantly taller than women. I like compatibility! I'm doomed!

haha, well Jay, us tall gals don't like being significantly taller than most of the guys on the planet either :)

screw it!
going to drink margaritas!

later short and tall folk alike!

Sarina, I am proportioned like a lawn gnome, complete with rosy cheeks, long pointed beard and a jaunty cap. I've never let my height bother me. I've certainly let it bother other people.

Can't reach cans on the top shelf? Throw things from the lower shelves at them until they reach you.

Remember, dear. They've made stepstools and ladders for small people to reach higher places. When it rains, we can gather beneath taller people and stay safe and warm, like being in the forest. The UV rays from the sun strike tall people and they get soak up all the cancer first. We can fit in suitcases and duffel bags to save on airfare. We're strategically built for exciting combative sports like rugby and hockey. What do tall people get? Basketball and volleyball.

Darwin wants us to win, Sarina! Too bad most of the mates we've successfully earned can't see us. Fuckers.

Slouch, I feel bad for the overly tall while envying the fact that no asks you about midget life. I am 5'3" and used to date guys over 6'6", so yeah, being really tall or really short bites either way. Those of mostly average height that complain are the ones that irritate the bejesus out of me. Shut up. You have clothes that fit, exercise equipment that you do not have to adjust to the point where others stare at you, and life is just ducky to be you. You can reach objects without asking for help and do not get asked moronic questions related to size.

This warning goes double for anyone who is an average size and is a stick figure. I automatically am inclined to dislike you on principle.

I am a comfortable 5'5 1/2". I'm the oldest of three and yet my sister is 5'9" and my brother is 5'11". They can both suck it.

Yeah, me and Slouchmonkey are doomed to similar fates.

[fist bump]

Righteous, brother.

Short people in exit rows should be thrown off the plane. After takeoff.

The problem is that women tend to really like the discrepancy, thus I'm far too short for someone around my height. Big Jack Earl won't get any pity or legroom offa me.

Melody and Mr. Prisco, will you be my new best friends? We can hang out in a tiny tot clubhouse and plot world domination!

Airplanes definitely tip the pity scales in favor of us tall people, especially when the asshole in front of me rolls his eyes when I politely ask him/her to un-recline. I'm so sorry that my need to walk again is ruining your flight by making you sit slightly more upright.

Flying to Germany was a particular treat, and no, the continuous loop of Charlie's Angels didn't make the 11 hours go any faster.

Sarina, I routinely watch Pinky and the Brain, so I have learned a few things. I shall bring my knowledge and expertise to the clubhouse.

Ha HA!! Short people unite!

the continuous loop of Charlie's Angels didn't make the 11 hours go any faster.

It didn't?!

My senior prom date was 5'5" and didn't mind one bit that I wore heels. Our friends felt bad that he'd look short in the pictures, but he was too happy that his head was that much closer to my cleavage to care. He had his priorities straight.

be pulled over for driving while intoxicated and have their drunken slurs misinterpreted as terrorist jargon, arrested, shipped off to Guantanomo bay where they will subsequently asphyxiate on spider webs after falling off the top of the human pyramid and into Sharon Stone's hooha.

I am happy to announce that my long awaited manifesto will finally be published in late July after many delays. Ever since I made this announcement in December 2007, there has been an unprecedented ground swell for this offering. In my travels I am constantly being asked, when will you publish your works, I must say it is a daunting task, but the time is nigh. More details will be forth coming.

Okay, I pity you fools on airplanes, because I'm usually pretty comfortable (well, as much as one can be on an airplane for a transatlantic flight). HOWEVER, carpooling situations suck for us shorties, because we get stuffed into extraneous cargo-type spaces.

Conversations like this happen around me all the time:

Friend #1: Whose car are we taking?
Friend #2: I'll drive, but my car only fits four people, and there are five of us.
Friend #3: Sarah's little; she'll fit in the back!

Most obvious-as-dogs-balls comment...

"You're so tall! You must be a basketball player?"

Me: "Yep, I play for the Lakers."

Aw, at least they let you in the car Sarina, my friends usually just tie a rope to the bumper and hand me roller skates.

Pookie is Henry Fool?!

This can't end well.

I've done absolutely nothing productive today.

I've done absolutely nothing productive today.

I built a little castle out of staple boxes with calculator roll turrets, and I filled it with people I cobbled together with paperclips. Then I threw shit at it until it collapsed.

Now I'm bored again.

My ultimate tall doofus moment: At a 5th grade birthday party, a "box tunnel" was set up in the basement of the party house that one had to crawl through in the dark to get to the party area (as in a bunch of normal-5th grade-kid-sized cardboard boxes duct taped together, as in, not made for a 5'10" 11-year-old mutant). Well, it was all going swimmingly until I got to the one section that was raised up a little to go up a step, I got stuck like Homer at the water park, I'm kind of claustrophobic, spazzed out a "little bit," and destroyed and ruined the tunnel. That may be the real reason I cry myself to sleep.

a 5'10" 11-year-old mutant

When I was 11, I was...exactly as tall as I am now. I haven't grown since 5th grade. Everybody's a mutant in some way or other, really.

In other news: Jesus jackhammering Christ, it's not even 3:30 here and I feel like this day has already lasted for a month and a half. I wanna go play in the sunshine!

Y'know, I wasn't going to see this, but then you mentioned that Joan Cusack was in it. Now I have to.

Ah, the other curse of the tall - superfast growth. When I was 12, I was 5'0". By the time I was 14?

5'10". Yes, 10 inches in 2 years. 4 more inches in the next 2 years after that.

Now THAT sucked.

D.L.Hughley is funny on Bill Maher (at least he was back when I had HBO). In fact I used to harbor a suspicion that D.L. Hughley was Pookie back before Pookie went off the meds.

Re exit row seats, those of us who routinely get them have put in major weekly hours of slog on 6 am flights, tolerating the amateurs on their holidays, the idiocy of the TSA screners and endless delays at 1 am in order to rack up the miles it takes to pre-book an exit seat so we're not just going to roll over and give you our extra legroom, I don't care how tall you are.

Pookie is Henry Fool?!

This can't end well.

HAHAHAHAHA. That explains so much.

TK, MC PeePants? Do you remember your leg bones aching like hell because you were spurting 2 or 3 inches a year?

For the short people, it is the opposite. For 10 years of my life, I was exactly 4'10". No height change, nothing. I finally grew 1 inch, one, in the 10th grade. It took 4 more years to reach my final height of 5'3".

Sarina, you can shop for kid's shoes? That is so not fair. I have normal size feet. The juniors department can work for shirts, but I never find anything I like there.

slouchmonkey, did you really just type, "Do you remember your leg bones aching like hell because you were spurting 2 or 3 inches a year?"

It's not usually my legs bones that ache after a good spurtin'.

Awesome.

Blindy, they'd stumble into the streets where the drunken masses would confuse them for bitesized "Cloverfield" mini monsters and promptly bludgeon them to death with empty bottles, chunks of concrete, and crowbars.

*thanks, Simpsons!

Been a hoot trading the demise of celebutards with you J_Capri! Have a great weekend you fabulous bastards!

On a non-spurting note, I had Osgood-Schlatter disease from playing sports and rapid growth and still have a noticeable lump on my left knee from it, so I do know what you mean.

Jay, I only wish to try and show you the joys that lie beyond your comprehension. Sling barbs if you must, but that won't negate the uneasiness you fill within your purview. My only objective is to bring wisdom as some sort of manna to quench your base desires.

Sarina, you can shop for kid's shoes?

Only in the boys' department, so it's only good for things like trainers. Little girl shoes are too small. I'm short, not microscopic.

I think I've typed the all-time greatest unintentional sentence ever. Holy crap! El doub-lay entendria! Pardon, me! I've revealed too much.

Okay.

Just killing time waiting for the horn to fire and the Indy review! Box of Kleenex handy for my tears!

I cannot even do that. I tried to get a pair of little boy's shoes because they were cute and they did not fit. I was so mad.

I did not figure that you could wear little girl's shoes since they are microscopic.

Pookie, you and the spambot need to get together and have many wonderful gibberish children.

We humans are all hypocrites, so don't take my friendly post as anything but. Anyone else may, but Dustin, you shouldn't.
Just a note maybe better served in an email.

Crap. I feel like I'm one of those annoying internet grammer(nyuk nyuk)/spelling police types.

"I feel like I'm one of those annoying internet grammer(nyuk nyuk)/spelling police types."

Congratulations. You are. Which means one must ask the question - why post the comment at all?

Because of my utmost respect for the Pajiba writers.

Wouldn't want their reputations tainted when their reviews are being read by The New York Post for their future much much higher paying jobs.

Or something to that effect.

Why post at all? I recall I pondered the very same thing - and I covered that in my first post. Shall I jump into reading comprehension mode?

Can't we all just git along?

Furthermore, it says I may email him - OR leave a comment below.

Guess I'm justified then.

*Phew*

Aren't we supposed to hold the Pajiba Gods to a higher standard?

I'm a 5'2", 90 pound Canadian. I had to move to Japan to find clothes that fit me properly, no joke. I'm average over here.

I want my two dollars back indeed.

Why have you become such a tool Lane?

Bummer, if your observations are as on point and in tune with my own sensibilities as they usually are. Major bummer, actually; Cusack is on par with Ben Affleck when it comes to his being knowledgeable and articulate in a setting like Real Time, so if this film sucks as much unwashed ass as you say, it's not just another failed war movie but a lost opportunity of epic proportions.

Guess I'll wait for the DVD; I'd intended to see it today in the one theatre showing it here in L.A. (the Landmark), but I can't afford to have ALL three days of this weekend suck, and am already committed to a barbecue tomorrow guaranteed to send me shuddering into the guest room with whatever paperback I can find on their shelves that doesn't have a ripped bodice on its cover...

Only a raving leftist could write a review complaining about liberals and casually drop in a reference to the "Bush lied people died" meme like it was established fact.

Dustin, I enjoy your writing, but get out of Ithica once in awhile. Seriously.

As for this ass-tastic movie, I will give it a pass, just like all the other "commentary" that has been put out on Iraq. And the reason people won't pay to see it is because the news coverage is so comically skewed to the left (with the exception of Fox News) that if someone wanted to watch this kind of garbage, all they have to do is turn on their TV.

Case in point: I think HBO just made a movie about how the Republicans stole the 2000 election... even though every investigation that's been done since found otherwise. But hey, that never stopped Oliver Stone from making his JFK movie either. It's all about the narrative, man. If the facts don't fit, well, leave a few out and bend the rest into shape.

Ah, the old canard: "the leftists are running the media," without presenting a shed of proof, of course. I would respectfully retort that you .....mmm..."warhawks" have gotten all you've wanted for the past 8 year and the "liberal media" hasn't been a significant factor, at all.

And what have we accomplished?

More expensive oil, angrier, nastier Arabs, and a veteran's health crisis the likes of which we've never seen in the making.
I hope you are enjoying yourselves.

Jvon, I was wondering what ever became of those voter fraud investigations. I was on pins and needles waiting for the outcome, and now word has come that the Bush administration has been cleared of any wrong doing, hallelujah!

Jvon -- Of course the Republicans stole the election. They had the Republican-controlled Supreme Court in its back pocket. And we all know that Republican justices can't be impartial. Why, just look at what the Republican-controlled California Supreme Court has done with immigration and gay rights issues. Oh, wait. Never mind. It turns out everything was on the up-and-up after all. But don't tell Alec Baldwin this. I would hate for him to move out of the country. I really enjoy him on 30 Rock.

Thanks goodness someone finally wrote an honest review about this tripe. I could photo copy this and re-post it with lines that says "enter name of anti-war BS here" and "enter name of liberal hack actor here".

the reason nobody goes to these movie is just as you say 99% of them just suck ass.

Wow, Jvon, like, literally zero non federal government sponsored studies have concluded anything but that both 00 and 04 were stolen. And that's w/out considering the rampant and illegal voter disenfranchisement crimes that were commited.

Just wow... a lie like that took balls, even faceless on the internet.

I just saw this and I can't disagree more with this review. I actually loved it. It's weird, no question, but I just think this reviewer was biased against the movie going in. The whole review sounds like an ignorant teenager hipster who hates everything wrote it. I would advise people ignore this guy and give the movie a chance. It has some great elements, which this guy completely ignored.

Amen. Other than comparisons to absurdistan and infinite jest, there was the usually tit-rippingly awful references to eating a bag of dicks. No real content, just ironically and sadly as cliched as the movie he reviewed. Stop with the timely vulgarism as comedy crap and have more of your own opinion. Hipper than thou is a sad, sad way to go through life.
