  1. “Let’s go see The Vow”
    ~ Chris Brown fans

  2. I just learned this movie is not actually based on a book by Nicholas Sparks. Everything I thought I knew about the world is now suspect.

  3. Can we talk instead about Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Spy, which I finally saw this weekend? It was kinda slooooow, but it was also just super engaging and pretty good, you guys.

    • No, we can’t talk about it now. That sounds like a boy movie, and right now we’re talking about The Vow, which is for girls. Girls can’t watch boy movies, silly!

      • But TTSS had Benedict Cumberbatch, who all the ladies just loooooooove! They all want to marry him, but they cannot, because he is going to enter into a civil union with Chord Overstreet, so they can just give their kids the most amazing names.

        • i justtttt watched tinker tailor last night! it was pretty good! though i am the worst person to watch spy movies or gangster movies with because i have a hard time following intentionally confusing and deceptive narratives and i turn into a confused old lady and ask annoying questions the whole time. tom hardy’s wig was atrocious though. it looked like he scalped val kilmer circa 1995.

        • Melody Chorale Piano Overstreet-Cumberbatch if it’s a girl,
          if it’s a boy then Dominico Battersea Swale Overcumber.

        • “Let’s change your name, that’s the problem!”

          “Zingelbert Bembledack! Yingybert Dambleban. Zangelbert Bingledack. Wengelbert Humptyback. Slut Bunwallah.”

          “Whut.”

          “All right, Kringelbert Fishtybuns. Steviebuns Buttritrundle.”

          “Gerry Dorsey, I like Gerry Dorsey.”

          “No, we can’t! Zingelbert Bimbledack, Tringelbert Wangledack, Slut Bunwallah, Klingybun Fistelvase, Dindelbert Zindeldack, Gerry Dorsey, Engelbert Humptyback, Zangelbert Bingeldack, Engelbert Humperdinck, Vingerbert Wingeldanck…”

          “No, go back one. Engelbert Humperdinck. That’s it!”

          -Eddie Izzard, Dressed to Kill

          I think of this bit every time Cumberbatch is mentioned. And yes, TTSS was quite good, and beautifully shot. SO MUCH atmosphere.

    • You know, I didn’t really like it. It was one of those movies that I felt cut off it’s nose to spite it’s face. Like…the whole theme is kind of that (I think?) everyone was deceptive in some way or another – they all betrayed one another in order to fulfill their duties (hahahahah doodies.)

      But in making that the theme, I feel like I didn’t really care at all about the big reveal of who the spy was. It didn’t matter at all, it could have been anyone, because they were all deceptive and betrayed each other, and there was no hero and no villain, actually. And as such, the ending kind of just fizzled out. Sadly, because I was pretty into it up to that point.

      • I hesitate to make any kind of argument about a film I had such a hard time following, but doesn’t Oldman’s character undermine the main point you’re making? I could be talking nonsense, but I thought he became a kind of heroic, martyred figure in the movie, because he never allowed himself the pleasures of heroics or revenge.

        • He totally lied and betrayed Tom Hardy.

          • Oh, yeah, I forgot about that. I guess the movie was just about a sprawl of complete moral ambiguity that pervaded politics and personal relationships. I like that, but I now agree with you that it takes the air out of any attempt at a resolution.

          • Totally….the resolution just felt completely glossed over and unimportant, which normally wouldn’t make a difference, but for the fact that the whole movie was A MYSTERY and the goal of most of the main characters was to find the mole. So when the big reveal came, I didn’t even actually realize it. Then later I was like “Oh huh.”

          • Wait- How did Smiley betray Tom Hardy’s ‘Tarr’ character? Didn’t he have him show up to a place claiming he knows about the mole, and that was the night the mole was revealed in the safehouse? Tom hardy was Smiley’s willing diversionary tactic. He didn’t get screwed over, did he? (I’m asking because I cannot recall if you ever heard about Tarr again after his diversion) I thought Tarr was one of the few agents Smiley could trust when everything was said and done.

          • Tarr said he would only do it if Smiley saved the girl. Smiley knew she was already dead, but didn’t tell Tarr, because he wanted his cooperation.

    • i liked it! Gary Oldman can do no wrong. Also, the music was great. I’m not sure what else to say except that I enjoyed it.

  4. I’m saving all my money for “This Means War”. Sure to be the most brilliant romcom ever.

  5. I missed The Vow because I was too busy falling asleep watching episodes of Up All Night. Classic me.

  6. I’m confused about Rachel McAdams. She dated Ryan Gosling, is Canadian, and was in Slings and Arrows. Therefore, she must be cool.
    But she’s in so many terrible movies that insult the intelligence of their audiences. So she must be uncool.
    How to deciiiiiiiiiiiiiiide?

    • Have you seen Midnight and Paris yet? Because she was absolutely atrocious in that. Like – clearly-reading-cue-cards-at-times atrocious.

      Slings and Arrows 4ever though.

    • you guyz, I totes knew her as a kid and she was a bit of a bitch! Like, really stuck up and snobby! Maybe she’s changed and maybe Hollywood and fame have made her more humble and appreciative of what she has and mayb…HAHAHAH psyche Hollywood doesn’t do that ever! Hollywood only serves to catalyze that behaviour, like a bottle of Pepto Bismol that GIVES you nausea, heartburn, indigestion, upset stomach, and diarrhea! Good metaphor!

      • haha…i couldn’t remember the first 2 diagnoses in the Pepto jingle (nausea, heartburn), was ABOUT to hit “submit”, then excitedly remembered the first two, completing the line. In hindsight, that was the lowest moment of my life.

    • +1 Starred in Mean Girls
      +1 Starred in Wedding Crashers
      +1 Very Pretty

  7. Gabe, I don’t know why you’re even bothering with the poll question. Yes, The Vow may have Channing Tatum’s abs, but The Notebook has Ryan Gosling. There. Is. No. Contest.

  8. “I Do” not want to see The Vow.

  9. Don’t worry guys, I reset the balance of the universe by watching Crank this weekend.

  10. I saw Hugo in 3D. It’s good, but you don’t need the 3D. Those glasses are too big on me :(

  11. my friend saw it and texted me at about 8:30pm to tell me that the 9:50 show was sold out and she was waiting for the midnight showing. The fact that it was sold out kind of makes me puke a little in my mouth.

  12. Isn’t someone supposed to say, “The Vow was great and it’s going to be even better tomorrow night when I make my boyfriend take me to see it again for Valentine’s Day?”

  13. I haven’t seen The Vow, but that picture leads me to believe that the acting might be overshadowed by the wigs worn by Rachel McAdams. Can anyone confirm this?

  14. i wasn’t going to see this movie, but after i saw the screen shot, i now have to know if she is putting the hat on his head or taking it off

  15. I have never even heard of this movie. And I LOVE the notebook
