Okay, cool, 2 days earlier. I was really looking forward to The Assassination of JJ. I saw the teaser for it before United 93, and it looked really cool. I haven`t seen a good western for awhile. This probably has something to do with Pitt and Jolie, having the kid.

Good News; Looks like a long lunch "hour" for me that day!

That's a long hour, wessmith.

I'll be out of town away from the family, so I guess I know what I'm doing June 28.

This is very very very good. The sooner we can get this lame movie in to the theaters the sooner we can get it of them.

I'm with you snoogans. SuperBOY can't die soon enough.

I am not a superman fan as I hate a character who is virtually impossible to destroy with unlimited powers but I like the casting and the look of the new movie. I hope it lives up to the hype.

Ya know, I really like Singer as a director and I have a lot of confidence in his ability, but every Cimino has his Heaven's Gate and the trailers for this movie have not impressed me much at all. The only action that seems to be halfway interesting is the badly done CGI plane sequence (I am just hoping they are holding a lot of it back for the movie itself). Spacey as Lex, though, seems to be genius.

Looks great... can't wait to see it!

That's the trick #6, it's not about him, it's about the people he saves. They can get hurt so we fear for them and we feel his fears for them.

You know what I mean?
