Saw in Brooklyn a few weeks ago. I say this as a fan, but it was, for the most part, boring. People were yawning, and complaining on the way out. And it was ridiculously expensive.

String of pearls for the readers

^^ you've made my Christmas and I thank you

How do you know someone is from New York City? They just fucking told you.
- native Chicagoan now living in NYC, but first noticed this long ago

I really liked this as well. IMDB reports this had a budget of $50MM. Is that possible? It's a pretty simple movie to my mind…
