Believable
I'm not often on the highway, but I was this afternoon and have two observations:
1. The most dangerous people are the ones driving below the speed limit in the centre lane.
2. If you were suddenly transported from the year 1988 to the present and flipped through the radio dial, you would notice no change whatsoever. So, it would be difficult to make the movie Back to the Future today and have it be believable.
I'm sitting on the couch watching Batman Begins and this online doc about 9/11 [via Tony Pierce] while I type this ...
I'm not buying Liam Neeson's moustache ... and how the heck could Gotham afford a double-decker monorail? I don't buy that. The 9/11 thing has a better story despite the obvious plot holes (I'm more LIHOP than MIHOP).
I can see why Katie Holmes latched on to the Tom Cruise. Her career has a clear expiry date: one facelift and she's Jennifer Grey. Bah, the 9/11 thing is still more entertaining. So many people told me Batman Begins was 'good'. Were they on crack? It's such a hammy piece of Hollywood cheese ... when Christian Bale lowers his voice for the second half of the flick, it sounds totally forced. If you can suspend your disbelief for THAT, you've got stamina.
Ok, the 9/11 thing raises a bunch of interesting points but moves itself to the fringe by accepting accolades from racists and other crackpots. The MSM would never be that sloppy ... I just flipped to FoxNews and Sean Hannity is arguing with a Jesus freak about God stuff even though she's got obvious mental problems ... oh, now Mark Furhman is on as a correspondent. Mark Furhman? WTF???
