I just watched Kiss Kiss Bang Bang.  

*blink* 

I'm starting to think Iron Man is one of the most normal movies Mr. Downey has been in.  Good grief that was silly.  And don't get me started on Eros, either.  Obviously nobody taught that writer to, well, write.  Plot, anyone?  Please?  

Good Night and Good Luck was fun, though, even if I missed half the references.  Like reading Pogo in a way.  A Guide to Recognizing Your Saints tried very hard, but didn't quite hang together despite some stellar performances.  Seeing Dianne Wiest is always a treat. 

Seriously, though.  KKBB had some funny moments, to be sure, and a couple of poignant ones, but on the whole it was, well, dumb.  Obvious jokes and people being obviously stupid.  The gag reel was amusing, I'll admit, and maybe the commentary will add some sense, but I doubt it.

Kiss, Kiss, bang, bang, was verrry silly. I'm not an RDJ fan, and won't really ever consider myself one, but I wanted to see this movie. Have you seen A Scanner Darkly? Yeah. . .pretty wild, too.

Good Night and Good Luck. . .I think I was pretty bored, and hoped it would end soon. I'll have to give it a re-watch because I just KNOW that's not the reaction I was supposed to have.

Haven't seen that one yet--I heard it was unhappy. The book's on my reading list somewhere, though.

GN&GL was slow...but then, based on reality. I think people our age kind of have to read up on the situation first to understand WHY what happened was so important.
