Fair enough. I was just bringing to light as to why the post sat there for 4 hours without a comment made.

BTW - I just finished TED. The only thing I can say to the film is that it definately is everything you'd expect from a Seth MacFarlane movie

Yea, I just was talking to my uncle about that movie today. His wife doesn't like family guy and he was talking about watching it with her... I told him if she doesn't like that sense of humor she will not like ted... the movie is funny, but it's definitely Seth MacFarlane's movie.

I will say the movie had some funny parts to it, but much like with Family Guy, you'd have to watch it numerous times to remember the jokes that you liked. I honestly just finished the film a half hour ago and I can remember the direction of the plot but the only thing that really sticks is that Flash Gordon looks really old now. Outside of that, I could watch it again and probably not remember half of the movie dialog.

yea, I don't remember much about the movie. I remember the plot points... I will say it is one of the better comedies of this year, though there have not been great comedies this year at least in america. Maybe I'm missing something.

The second I still find enjoyment in that the film always seems to spark the interest of the kid in me, much like the Goonies still does. The third is simply because I was a bit of a nerdy kid in Junior High and the two characters struck home with the person I was before I started playing sports in high school.

Great bit of mathematics there DRG.

I didn't go in for "Brat Pack" movies like St Elmos Fire; in fact I don't think I've seen that to this day.
I actually only watched 16 Candles the other day. But you can't go past classics like The Breakfast Club, Mr. Mom, Ferris Bueller, Weird Science and one of my all time favourites, Planes, Trains and Automobiles. Plus there's the lesser(but still quite watchable) Hughes films like Career Opportunities, Uncle Buck and the Vacation and Home Alone franchises. He pretty much made at least one movie that can appeal to everybody. Not that they were earth shattering, bigger than Ben Hur type flicks, but here was a man as, if not more, prolific and important to cinema as Spielberg during the 80's and 90's. A very sad day indeed when he died.

It's only within the last couple of years that I finally saw this, but it's quickly become annual holiday viewing. Crazy good stuff.
