I saw that! I would say this movie has the best pre-opening-credits-sequence-followed-by-opening-credits that I have seen in quite some time. Ryan Gosling plays a guy with no name who just drives. He’s just really good at driving cars. He drives for a crime getaway and it is just a very exciting, well-done sequence. The music […]

I saw the latest Transformers. Months after my I Saw That co-blogger, Yours Truly, dared me to watch it in the theater. Instead I watched it on my in-laws pay-per-view. Jesus. Motherfucking. Christ. WHYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY? I fell asleep before the third hour and yet, yet, I knew just as soon as the almost-clever Moon Landing Wuz […]
