I didn't get that memo.

I agree with everything you said here, except I didn't even know there was a new album coming out soon.

aw
Does this mean there's no movie A.V. Talk this week?

Yeah, I was wondering how loose this remake would be, since the French Rudd and Carell characters never even make it to the dinner party in the original, and there's only a momentary cutaway that shows you what's going on at it.

Wait, did his shirt say "VIRGIN" or "I'M A VIRGIN"?

VIRGIN

This movie is slightly above average. Which, in the late-middle of this summer, kind of means that it's almost gold. I think a lot of critics are giving it a pretty easy pass because it's not awful like most of the shit that's been released since May. But that doesn't mean it's anything but slightly above average,…

They were on a timer. They were usually (always?) on a timer when they went under. The bought flight attendant was probably there as insurance.

QUASI-SPOILER MAYBE, IF YOU LIKE READING INTO THINGS?

Oh, I do read Ebert a lot. He's definitely one of my favorite writers as far as film reviews are concerned. But I dunno… I just have a hard time believing anyone could rate something this ludicrous and predictable four stars. It's not even particularly good for its throwaway genre. I totally understand the B's it…

so…
Ebert's four-star review of this is kind of whoa.

And at least two story moments that made me go "gwuh?"

Yes. And the husband is barely in it. Less than 10 minutes of screen time probably.

What about:

Yes, and she does it in the film twice that I remember. Maybe three times!

Well played.

It kind of felt like one too, except Geena Davis is a little more believable at beating the shit out of like five dudes at a time. Not that Salt takes place in any sort of reality. But still!

My bad, it was David Edelstein in New York Magazine:

A.O. Scott
Isn't he the reviewer who, in his review of Inception, said Joseph Gordon Levitt was tying people together and dragging them through zero-gravity to an elevator for no particular reason that he could figure out?
