And I thought manwich was just made out of horse meat. Now I find out it's sub par actors.

After watching Nacho Libre, i'm not convinced Jack Black can carry a movie by himself. I had such high hopes for that movie only to be thoroughly disappointed. I won't make that mistake again. The idea sounds great, and could be a really funny movie. I hope he can prove me wrong and the movie turns out to be good at least.

I wanted to say something clever but nothing tops Scoxocs' comment.

Great one, Scoxocs. I thought the same thing and then laughed out loud when I saw your comment.
By the way what is a scoxocs, other than a palindrome? I mean why not Kinnikinnik or something? Why Scoxocs?

I smell another 'Bewitched'.


Hopefully this thing goes straight to video.

Oh me and the misses ... grim_reaper are so going to love this movie, since we both are Wiccans, i.e. as the Christians like to refer to us as witches.

No mckracken, males are NOT called "warlocks". The term, which Christians have ignorantly adopted, is "witch" for both genders.

You don't see male Christians or Muslims called some other terminology different from their females now do you? ;-)

Only the stupid, the ignorant, www.dictionary.com and those thinking in old world mentalities still use the term "warlock" when describing a male witch.

It's a throwback to ignorance and research laziness essentially these days and with those who watched the 1989 movie by the same name starring actor Julian Sands, who failed to do post watching research.

Check here for its clarification
