Thankfully movie reviews have not yet been subject to grade inflation!

He's a dead ringer for Sarah Jessica Parker. I never noticed that before. It's like they were separated at birth. Also, give this guy some work!

My students do not consider a B to be an "enthusiastic" grade. Guess it was just professor think.

This review sounds more enthusiastic than a B.

There was SUCH a different bar for gross out back then.

It wasn't so much that there was a virus that killed only women. I could imagine that happening, and the world that might result. That was an interesting premise. It was the blithe way he described the horrific world AFTER the cure. The remaining female characters seemed almost giddy about being professional,

The blathering works even less well when you are, in fact, a molecular biologist AND a woman.

The author seems to find an awful lot to admire about a movie that he insists sucks epically. I liked it (except for Sean Young, and, honestly, Sting was pretty bad too). Good art direction, weird as hell. Handsome people usually good, ugly people usually bad. Not too hard to work out. And yes, I read all of the books

What do you mean "actually improved"? EVERYTHING is improved by bagpipes.

Even though I like the chemistry between the actors, I can't help but find the Nick/Adalind relationship just plain icky.

That would be a hell of a long game writing-wise.

It's not boring. It's always at least fun.

Well, he is kind of attractive, and as a female scientist myself, I am not above a little movie magic wish fulfillment.

This seems like an awful waste of a bunch of talented people. Also, is Chris Hemsworth supposed to be the equivalent of Annie Potts or Sigourney Weaver? And if he is supposed to be Annie Potts, then that's kind of OK with me, because I would like him to be my secretary.

Sweats. I'm wearing sweats.

But she was also pissed that they cast him instead of her friend Robert Downey Jr.

Quick, name five movies about how great high school is.

Yeah, impressed by the list. With each one I was like, "heh, I forgot about that pretty awesome teen-themed movie". All except for Breakfast Club, which I can't stand. Hated it when it was released when I was close to it's exact demographic, still hate it now.
