1. Is your other choice a root canal?

[JVS]

2. Step Brothers

5. i saw step brothers, if you expect stupid you won't be disappointed.

i'm sure everyone hated it but i giggled, i like dumb movies and i love John C. Reilly, i also liked Walked Hard.

[JVS]

9. Do I like stupid movies? Is a bear Catholic?

[AlCzervik]

10. Yes?

[JVS]

11. yes indeed

[AlCzervik]

12. well then you will enjoy it, we did.

[Critters2]

3. Your choices are "Mamma Mia" or "Step Brothers"?

:wtf:

Did the Googleplex in Savoy close? If not, head down there and see...well, anything but "Mamma Mia" or "Step Brothers". But, in case you're having doubts, let me quote from my recently posted review of "Mamma Mia":

"There's 2 hours of my life I won't be getting back."


Next question?

[JVS]

6. I'm toying with the idea of going to the drive in

they only have 2 screens

[tigereye]

4. somehow I can't see it as your kind of film...

you strike me as more of a Kill Bill kinda guy... (either that or foreign films for which no subtitles are needed)

[JVS]

8. Yeah, I just watched the trailer and it looked about as fun as colon cancer.

[tigereye]

13. it was good frothy fun,if you like that sort of thing, with some Shakespearean

tones. But who knew that Abba songs could make any kind of sense?



You don't strike me as a lover of musicals, JVS :rofl:

[JVS]

16. Oh that's where you're wrong. I love West Side Story, and JC Superstar, and even Mary Poppins...

although I kind of like to mock the characters of Sound of Music. And I think the Umbrellas of Cherbourg is not only a great musical but also a great film. Yet Mamma Mia looked like less fun than colon cancer to me.

[tigereye]

17. good deal...

I tend to assume that a lot of younger folks don't like musicals and that they are too delighted by films with explosions... and that probably isn't the case.

Umbrellas of Cherbourg is lovely.


Mamma Mia is very campy and broad. Suum quique.

[CBHagman]

7. Yes, and right away.

I saw it yesterday and can't stop smiling. Love the ABBA earworm, too. :loveya:

[parabellumklr]

14. See it.

The wife and I saw it and both enjoyed it.

[bigwillq]

15. Hello.

Welcome to DU! :hi:

[yellowdogintexas]

18. It's a hoot! Just be prepared that it has no redeeming social value and no stuffy

intellectual meaning. It is just a fun flick. The ending is great fun, too.

[mitchum]

19. It sounds like a fucking nightmare

[WannaJumpMyScooter]

20. Versus what?

passing a large knife through your eye socket could be entertaining

[applegrove]

21. It was easy watching. Just make sure you are in the mood for a musical.
