Just thought I’d chime in: the proposed law regarding compensation for reviews may be one of the most dangerous the web has ever seen:

Money shot: “Nobody likes deceptive advertising or fishy bloggers. But I’d rather wade through steaming piles of unethical crap on the Web than give the FTC Javertian powers to pursue shady advertorial. This is one of those cases in which the government’s solution is 10 times worse than the problem.”

I was surprised that the Toy Story 3D double feature did so well. People really love those movies.

And yup, Soul is a delusional, sad little man:)

Yeah, The Invention of Lying is a movie with a great premise, but poor execution. Somehow not being able to lie causes you to blurt everything on your mind uncontrolably? Also, it was billed as a romantic comedy, but turned out to be some bizarre, preachy atheist “propaganda” as you described it. I definitely felt tricked.

I really like that flick, Kris. And I forgot that Jesse Eisenberg was the kid. I just remember how damned unlikeable Campbell Scott was (intentionally so). I also thought that I would be seeing big things from the director in the future. It’s seven years later and I haven’t heard anyone say “Dylan Kidd” in a long time.

My guess is you guys missed the wonderful “Rodger Dodger” in 2002, but Jesse Eisenberg, who is in fact five years older than Michael Cera, has been doing his thing for a while now. He just hasn’t made wise career decisions.

While I felt that the Invention of Lying was underwhelming I think you missed the point about almost every character being rude. Gervais (as the narrator) already mentions in the first minute that because no one can lie, everyone always says what they think.

Excellent fun on this podcast!

I thought Eisenberg nearly sunk Zombieland. I didn’t buy for one second that he would have been one of a handful of survivors…and I didn’t buy that he was the author of the rules for survival.

I also thought that several key scenes got the short shrift…especially the big showdown with Woody Harrelson.

Why doesn’t he ever put Rodney on these podcasts, he writes a majority of the articles on the site.
