The tickets were free, actually.

I just saw a trailer for "In Time," a dystopian sci-fi thriller featuring the suddenly ubiquitous Justin Timberlake.

I'll probably pass because I've seen that movie a hundred times...but I for one do not begrudge Timberlake all the kudos. Dude is talented.

They had a preview of that movie before the Apes movie. It looked excellent.

She was on the Daily Show a few nights ago. Very nice.

Excellent rant by Bill Simmons:

QuoteWe already covered this in a 2005 mailbag, but screw it, let's run it back: In the movie's climax, Tidwell's breakout game happens in Phoenix and probably finishes around 9:30 p.m. West Coast time (Monday Night Football started at 9:00 p.m. EST back then). Maguire sticks around for the postgame interviews (another 45 minutes easy) and suddenly realizes that he needs to tell Dorothy Boyd he loves her. He sprints out of the stadium and drives to the airport (another 45 minutes), purchases a ticket, checks his bag (pre-9/11, so this could have happened quickly) and hops on a midnight flight back to Los Angeles (a flight that doesn't currently exist, but whatever). It's a 150-minute flight but you gain a time zone, so let's say Jerry lands at 1:30 a.m. PST, takes a parking shuttle to his car (another 15 minutes), then drives home (another 20 to 25 minutes), gets home no early than 2:10 a.m. and inadvertently interrupts Dorothy Boyd's "I hate men" support group ... which was apparently in its seventh or eighth straight hour, with everyone wide awake. That would have been the biggest flaw of any 1990s movie if not for 6-foot-5 Andy Dufresne fitting so snugly into the Warden's suit.

Two of the best, Edward G. Robinson and Chuck Heston (speaking of ape movies).

Robin Hood-(with russle crowe)-8 of 10.

Nothing new in terms of battle scenes....but the story of his beginning was cool to see, friar tuck, and robin's entourage.

Seems like there would be a sequel to this...but doesn't look like there was enough interest in it to do it. I don't know that they aren't either. An entertaining watch.

An official poster for The Dark Knight Rises was finally released...

True Grit - Good. Until the end where the girl got bit by the terrible looking rattlesnake. I guess they had to stay true to the original but come on. Rattlesnakes just don't go up to humans and bite them. Just did not make any sense they could of molded that in much better.
