Happy Birthday Mr. Chipman! I hope it's a wonderful one!
OT: You have officially made me want to see this film. I was thinking it would be exactly along the lines you said it turned out to be. It doesn't look "good" but it does look like fun. Much like the G.I. Joe movie was fun while not being "good".

The explosions in this movie are really cool towards the end, but that is seriously all the movies has to offer. Wouldn't movies usually be condemned for having nothing else to offer besides some cool special effects? The first hour of this movie was miserable, and I definitely remembered how awful that hour was by the end of the movie. I mean transformers has some really cool explosions too, but anyone with decent movie taste would not hint that other people should go see that movie. I don't see this movie any differently.
Yeah the movie didn't look too good from the trailers I saw and you pretty much confirmed my prediction. Although, I figured the second half wouldn't be as good as you made it out to be.
On a semi-related note: OMG I SAW THAT PICTURE AND I REMEMBERED WHAT TENCHI MUYO WAS AND THEN BAHHHHHHHHHHHH

Well, if you are an Olyphaunt fan, and you are not watching Justified, you are doing yourself a giant disservice. Sometimes TV can be better than movies, since you can have more details and a longer, more developed storyline and characters because of the longer length.Sovereignty said:
haha wow i thoroughly enjoyed this, especially the power ranger references, but overall i am surprised that you did end up liking the end, in which the way you put it was perfect.
i might give it a whirl if im bored on the weekend, thanks for confirming my suspicions

Hey MB, I've heard you use the terms "First, Second and Third Act" before. Is there a sort of rule for delineating when the first act ends and the second begins? What do these terms really mean? I vaguely remember something from high school where all Shakespeare plays have 5 acts and the climax occurs in the third, or something, I can't remember.
Okay, I can say it for you then, Bobber. "I didn't like it."
I'll say this, as a movie I am Number Four would be best described as that one friend it seems almost everyone has a friend that has. He sure as heyall -highrah isn't your friend... It's that guy that you have no idea why your friend hangs out with, a total jerk, all style no substance, ubiquitous 'straight person', whatever. You will try to be understanding, try to be accepting but it is so perplexing, there's nothing there to the guy. You'll ask, you'll demand an explanation maybe, 'what do you see in that guy?' but they'll always have the same defense for him, "he's a really okay guy once you get to know him." That movie's about the same. Your friend will say the same and you may try to get to know him (sic- watch the movie), but halfway into the process your head will be hurting too much from wondering 'why am I doing this again?' to keep up the effort and you'll just give up and go watch something else...
