Man, I really liked Adventureland. Y'all some assholes.

Meh. Meh, I say! Girls like Lisa P. are a dime a dozen in my neck of the woods. All flash, no substance. All promises, no payoff.
Seriously, Adventureland was a fucking waste. Only the 80's soundtrack gets a pass, although I could live without hearing "Rock Me, Amadeus" ever again.
Really good. Crowe and Affleck were excellent and the twists unfolded organically. Jason Bateman was excellent in his role, I thought. The only thing that rang false was the assassin character, but I think that was down to the actor constantly scowling at everything and everyone (reminded me of the shifty eyes dog in The Simpsons) and the fact that he was the least subtle assassin ever involved in a covert operation.
Otherwise, an interesting, intelligent thriller. I love fat Crowe. Kevin MacDonald is carving out a very solid resume for himself.
I experienced an invasion of my mind by a transcendentally rational mind, as if I had been insane all my life and suddenly I had become sane.
It's a solid movie and I love the look of the newspaper office. But I've been spoiled by the original mini-series which blows the hell out of the film.

I suspected that would be the case. I need to check that out.

Watched Planet Terror and most of Death Proof. PT still kicks some ass IMO and is just a fun fucking flick. DP on the otherhand suffers from too much bloat on dvd. I want the cut versions put together like GRINDHOUSE dammit.

Enthusiastically agreed, Rob. I wish we got the boxed set Japan got. Theatrical versions of both films, plus extended cuts, and a shitload of other stuff.
A shame we won't get more Gridnhouse flicks from Rodriguez and Tarantino, but we are getting Machete soon. Which is nice. But it better fucking deliver.
