How, how, how, do people not like the Californians? I love every minute of that one. I could see getting sick of Gilly or Whelk or Target Lady (although I personally do not). I was really happy to see Wiig back but AVClub _hates_ her. Jeez.

"a series of farcical fake-outs"

That movie is pretty entertaining, although it felt like it was a billion hours long.

I went and read the book afterward (I'm a philistine). Obviously the book is great but honestly the movie and book have a pretty tenuous relationship to begin with. Which is fine. Not that I wouldn't enjoy a twelve-hour movie faithfully recreating the book where all the characters are named "Mme. L_________" or…

OH MY GOD.

Yeah, I was expecting that too. Probably from rewatching GoT season 1.

A little too Austin Powers for me. I feel like I thought that was hilarious 10 years ago but now it's kinda well-worn.

Yeah, that was the main redeeming value of the movie. My friend and I had been rolling our eyes the whole time but the kid stuff had us laughing out loud. Great inversion.

I didn't figure it out and I saw Avengers. Avengers was just that forgettable. (So was this.)

COUNT OF MONTE CRISTO. Represent. God, that movie is great.

I've been rewatching it with a friend of mine.

Yeah I can't believe how far I scrolled. Go watch State and Main you idiots, it's amazing!

Too many people standing in the parking lot. That space is for CARS

yep it was

Agreed, I thought this was an extreme waste of my time. Not that I give a shit about Barney's emotional welfare, but this was just unfunny and dumb. The jokes were a lot weaker than usual too, and the plot twists were mostly obvious.

You had me until "wasn't trying to do it good".

They are.

Yeah. I learned to read a little bit of Danish and was pleased to discover that I could read the same stuff in Swedish and Norwegian without too much pain.

Ah, yep. Can anybody explain to me what Rosario Dawson's motivation was supposed to be? She just… really likes paintings?
I like your boyfriend's version better.

This is exactly right. I gave up and just sort of watched it for the action/nudity.
