I am so bloody sick of all these poseur superhero movies and whathaveyou like <I>Superman Does Shakespeare While Fixing His Hair</I> or whatever. I just wanted to wacky fun and thats what I got. I agree that it is too long, but I thought the original was too long also.Glenn Dunkshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05424659636310160482noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8256060.post-1158735453248366572006-09-20T02:57:00.000-04:002006-09-20T02:57:00.000-04:00This comment has been removed by a blog administrator.Glenn Dunkshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05424659636310160482noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8256060.post-1158724514041677632006-09-19T23:55:00.000-04:002006-09-19T23:55:00.000-04:00I agree entirely.

But usually within middle stories you can go interesting places and create indelible new characters (Two Towers) and in rare cases you can hit your peak (Empire Strikes Back) for the first half of Pirates I was waiting for it to start and for the second half I was just waiting for it to end.<BR/><BR/>all connective tissue for me.NATHANIEL Rhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11597109147678235399noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8256060.post-1158692454941048182006-09-19T15:00:00.000-04:002006-09-19T15:00:00.000-04:00Not even a mention of the relationship b/w Gosling...Not even a mention of the relationship b/w Gosling and Shareeka Epps in Half Nelson? It was one of the most interesting pairings of the year. I also don't think it was meant to be cathartic or come with any easy answers.
