LOL. It was! Thank God, or I'd never hear the end of it. Then again, I picked the last stinker we saw, Punch-Drunk Love.

I thot I would since it is loosely based on the life of the pudding guy (who is nigh unto diety on my other favorite forum - Flyertalk.com) Being a points/miles whore myself, I can relate. But it was such a small part of the picture, I quickly grew weary of Sandler's whining.

i thought it was ok, but there was just too much of it. if they got it in under say 100 mins, then i would have enjoyed it in a mindless-big-n-noisy-movie kind of way

That's a shame; it was an excellent book.

Paycheck, actually anything Ben Affleck is in. Ditto Asshton Kutcher. Sat through Man of the House (Tommy Lee Jones and cheerleaders) the other day at home. The movie is horrendous but the cheerleaders are hot so they sucked me in.

Slingblade with Billy Bob Thorton. Just stupid.

Gee, an action movie about the UN. I could have told you that that was going to suck.

Clearly, you never saw Art of War. Pure cinematic mastwork.
