I loved both games, and still reload either for fun..but it looks like the movie is less than ...something. And from what I've read, the movie is less than... something. Sniff, sniff... There's a dog around here to blame somewhere.
P.S. I thought Constantine was a great day in the theater..kids, wife and I had fun with that one. Worth the matinee price.

How can you tell when you've left Mongolia and crossed into Tuva? It all looks about the same...
Happy Saturday morning! Sending vibes and best wishes to the Brunchgate crew. Wish I could join you! Cheer extra loudly for me - I'll be watching on TV!
I realized this morning that I now have 3 networking sites that I visit semi-regularly: Facebook, LinkedIn, and this thread. How cool is that?
Somebody on the radio mentioned his fear that it would turn out like constantine, but the movie reviewer they were interviewing said that the winged creatures were really a VERY small part of the movie, and that most people were too busy worrying about them and when they'd appear.
I'm also shocked that Body of Lies got so panned at rotten tomatoes. I've heard very good things about that one. And yet Quarantine did good, and I've heard nothing but bad things about that. Mostly that it's a VERY poor takeoff on cloverfield.
I saw Body of Lies last night and thought it was very good. Gorgeous, sweeping desert shots, two great actors and enough tension that I was drawn in for the entire movie. Thought the guy playing Hani was good too - interesting that he's Italian/Austrian but I was sold w/ him playing a Jordanian.
It's been some time since I posted in the LTE (or much of anywhere else around here, for that matter). So, um...hi everyone.
Hello Wilson! You are now Jimmy Spanarkel...someone's wife might find that interesting.
I also saw Body of Lies (at a preview, shoulda posted my thoughts here-- sorry) and found it pretty good. I was not a fan of the ending or how they got there but I enjoyed a lot of the rest of it. DiCaprio was very good. Crowe was all right. I think it is worth seeing, for sure, though partly because the current crop of films in theaters are so -- well -- croppy

Oh, I completely forgot to mention, while I have not seen Max Payne, the reviews are simply awful. It is at 18% on Rotten Tomatoes, which takes some work.
The Detroit News says:
The LA Times says:Max Payne may be the worst movie of the year. The "may be" qualifier is only because the year isn't over yet.
Rolling Stone says:Miserable, in every sense of the word.
And the SF Chronicle writes:Max just drags on as it drags you down. If you stay and watch the endless end credits, there's a short scene that hints a sequel is coming. That's what I call real pain.
--Jason "seems like it might be worth waiting until DVD... or never watching at all" EvansA critic can stay alert through movies that would put elephants into comas, but I doubt most people will stay awake for Max Payne.
Quarantine is a remake of a Mexican film..like Hollywood likes to redo the Japanese horror movies. I'm pretty sure the original came out before Cloverfield, and from what I've read, Quarantine is very true to the original, except it's in English. (They scream "aaaaaah" instead of "aaaaaaj")
And the Red Sox are still alive...
Oh, and we have some non-fans in Snrubchat. The text from the last game was still in there, someone had the Screenname I hate PW's lamented my participation in the GT thread on the Main Board and wished PW's would stick to the OTB. I chuckled...someone taking themselves too seriously. But that is what happens on the other boards.
