That I do not doubt. I just think some books are better than others in terms of keeping my attention. I think I need to relate somehow...can't do it with potter. Love it on the screen, but not in a book.

I agree it's not for everyone. But thank you for expressing your opinion without resorting to call it "ass".

That was a reference to the movie Idiocracy. I wasnt calling the movie or the book ass I was making a reference to how boring it was.

That movie stole 2 hours of my life!
The idea, I actually liked. It doesn't seem to be too far from the truth, we do seem to be getting dumber and dumber, and only the poor and dumb are reproducing at high rates. They could have done a much better job IMO.

I agree. they could have done a better job, but I will continue to reference it for two reasons. It makes me laugh and it resembles the truth as you stated.

There were definitely parts that made me laugh, but the overall story sucked and I think they had a good subject to grow on too. Oh well.

An idea your signature supports.

If it's just two hours...consider it a success!

No biggy...to each his own.
I actually liked the 4 previous movies, this one just seemed like overkill to me, like a lame bridge to the next movie (or book).

I know there are lots of things I like that others don't, just as there are plenty of things you like that others won't like. That doesn't make it dumb or stupid, just that we're different. No big deal if you ask me.

ps- I think you and angry have gotten to the point where he is trying to push your buttons and you seem to respond well most of the time, but this one pushed a little too hard.

The 5th book was over 800 pages. I think they did the best they could. I wish they had made the movie 3 hours long.

I only defend things I'm passionate about.
