You are all vindicated by this article on solitaire. I'm looking at you, Operative X.
Three trailers:
1.) Terminator 3. I mean, really, guys, it's called Rise of the Machines, couldn't you have sprung the $20 for a new plot?
2.) Pirates of the Caribbean. A lot of people are really up on this, I am reserving judgment. I would also remind those people that Disney's only other movie based on one of their theme park rides was The Country Bears.
3.) X-2. Aw. Yeah.
One thing that bugs me less, after this viewing:
1.) The wargs look OK, I guess.
Three *more* points in the movie that the whole thing should have gone silent, and someone breaks the silence by just saying "Shit.":
1.) Faramir reveals that, in fact, he is Boromir's brother.
2.) Right before the Battle at Helm's Deep, when it starts raining.
3.) At Helm's Deep, when the Wall *explodes,* raining debris on the orc horde.
NEWS:
* North Korea going for the sympathy vote by threatening to start World War 3. Good job guys.
* Jealous that other scientists are scarier, astronomers are getting closer to pictures of the Big Bang. Yes, *that* Big Bang.
* The only *real* defense against terrorism: education.
