"I have to hand it to Cinemascore for their D+" on a movie you didn't even see?  Okay…

Ugh, yeah.  I adored Office Space and Idiocracy—and walked out of Extract.

"Fish sticks.  Fish…sticks.  Fishsticks!  Nope.  Still don't get it."

Oh no.  No.  PLEASE no.  The last thing we should want added to this is Prometheus.

In that rapid, high-pitched voice of the gerbil:

Okay, I just saw this last night for the first time at the cheapseats, and I am fit to burst over a need to discuss this movie.  As my wife didn't care for it I'm going to post all of this here.  There hasn't been a new post here in two months now so I doubt anyone will read this, but I don't care.  (This is also all…
