Probably a month, though. <br /><br />@ JL - I dunno, I thought there was a certain extra special charm to RED that most action flicks of its ilk just don't have. It's not spectacular, no, but I have the feeling that it's one that I'll enjoy returning to in a few years.<br /><br />I might have been disappointed with Cop Out had I not already thought so little of it. If it weren't for the nostalgic throwbacks, I probably wouldn't have cared for it at all.<br /><br />@ Dan - no problem! Hoping your podcast gets more exposure to the many podcast-listening LAMBs. I'm glad to be a part of the Club (and it was nice to have a back catalog to catch up on).Fletchhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17299302086449086987noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-859290034031232542.post-65889311424917710742011-05-15T12:19:38.305-07:002011-05-15T12:19:38.305-07:00Thanks for the link man!

I lo...Thanks for the link man! Much appreciated. <br /><br />I loved Red with a passion - in fact it probably made my top five movies of 2010 list. Mind you, I'm very much a mindless popcorn movie kind of guy.Danhttp://midmoclub.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-859290034031232542.post-68508880960631595702011-05-14T01:09:43.010-07:002011-05-14T01:09:43.010-07:00I enjoyed RED as a decent popcorn flick.

(PS I really liked Adventureland as well)<br /><br />As for Cop Out. I was so utterly disappointed with it. As you mention, the only parts I liked were the ones with Sean William Scott. His scenes proved pretty funny. The rest was really a waste of my time.JLhttp://www.couchpotatoclub.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-859290034031232542.post-14325574030708797662011-05-13T13:32:58.318-07:002011-05-13T13:32:58.318-07:00Seems like the Cabin is in a pretty good state all...Seems like the Cabin is in a pretty good state all-around!

There were a lot of jokes being shown in commercials for it and when Willis appeared on Letterman that just seemed odd, but I think would have been funny in the context of the film. Unfortunately I knew they were coming so the flavor was lost.<br /><br />No desire to see Cop Out. While I wouldn't say I'm boycotting it, I really lost a lot of love for the way Smith handled the criticism it received on Twitter. You'd think after the onslaught of 'wtf mates' that came from Jersey Girl, he'd know how to take a public thrashing. But basically he resorted to "I'm god, so like it or *!&% off." Was really sad to watch.Univarnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01437654003558435749noreply@blogger.com
