That's okay, I've got enough love for the both of us, man.

Now come here and let's hug it out.

Saw it tonight and laughed pretty consistently all the way through. I thought the trailers were great, down to the actual studios' logos. And I laughed quite heartily when Stiller tossed the kid off the bridge. I don't think it's a classic like Animal House or Blazing Saddles, but it got the job done.

And all the "controversy" over the use of the word retard is... well, retarded. If you can't see that it was used to demonstrate how actors can be pompous assholes, then maybe you shouldn't watch any movies. You just don't get it.

I finally saw this, and enjoyed it immensely! Everything was well done. It was even a very well shot non-action, action movie! Most of you guys are a little too tightly wound I think. This movie was a lot of fun.

God damn Downey eh. Fucking brilliant. This is his year.

Stiller was smart enough to kind of slyly remove himself from the forefront (it only seemed like he was outfront) and in turn made himself much more digestible. I think we are all quite bored of him. Maybe it was a big comment on himself...?

Going way back to Cameron's post... Noltes character was really supposed to deflect some sort of bomb at the end with his hands and redeem himself. Though I was sort of waiting for it... so I guess that would have been too obvious.

See...this is where these opinions really vary since I find Zoolander nearly unwatchable.
