We Have Leftovers

I'll bet everyone has left overs. So of course, we're going out to a movie and eating burgers. Tomorrow I'll start inventing new turkey-related foods.

2012

This movie is, and I mean no disrespect to Irish Setters, a classic Irish Setter of a movie: sleek, gorgeous, dumb as a bag of hammers. You don't go to this movie for plot or characterization (although it has some wonderful actors in it, including John Cusack and Chiwetel Eijiofor*). You go to it for destruction-porn, and on that level it's a rousing success.

*the older generation doesn't fare quite as well--poor Danny Glover wanders through the movie as the soggiest, most bewildered president ever, and George Segal has a part as the standard Roland Emmerich Old Jewish Guy (better, or at least more floridly, played by Judd Hirsch in Independence Day.)
