[QUOTE=Thudlow Boink] If we can’t rant about movies without sitting through them, the terrorists have already won. To be fair, “the name sucks” was only one of the OP’s points, the other one being “all the clips I’ve seen from this movie have been really, really boring.” And, to be fair, does the movie have any explosions or car chases in it? No? Well, there you go: boring! [/QUOTE] The movie does have an explosion. In the first five minutes! And there is a car chase at the end. ---

[QUOTE=TLDRIDKJKLOLFTW] Every clip I’ve seen of this movie makes me want to go hang myself. [/QUOTE] I enjoyed the movie and recommend you watch it. ---

[QUOTE=Cervaise] I enjoyed the movie and recommend you watch it. [/QUOTE] 😃 Reminds me of a _Prairie Home Companion_ a while back with Charlie Sheen. They did a skit where President Bush called up to speak to President Bartlett. Bush complained that his presidency was sliding into the toilet and Sheen replied with, “Oh? And what can I do to help?” ---

When _A Perfect Storm_ was released (another George Clooney movie), a stupid co-worker of mine said, “That don’t make no sense! They should call it ‘The _Big_ Storm’!” ---
