NEWS: An incident today on a Detroit-bound Northwest Airlines flight originating in Nigeria…
ME: So the “device” did almost nothing except burn the suspect, everyone on the flight is ok, and it may not have even been remotely possible to take down the plane that way? Plus, there aren’t more than 100 people in the world who would seriously try such a thing, and fewer capable to boot, but there are thousands of flights each hour, right? Great. Good work, security theater! Will be happy to fly again in 4 days. Keep it up.

Still think this takes a backseat to, “I can’t pay you this month.”

“Up In The Air is bad. It’s a new depression exploitation picture or unemployment porn, but that’s not exactly why it’s a bad film. It’s a bad film because it’s safe and fails to throw any punches. So, George Clooney plays a caddish, single man who doesn’t want to settle down with a troubled past. Hasn’t Clooney played this character in every other film since his career breakout in “E.R.”? Isn’t Ryan Bingham the same character as Michael Clayton? Instead of crazy undercover lawyer shit, Clooney just does crazy firing people shit. Well, there’s a giant difference between Up In The Air and Michael Clayton though; Michael Clayton is a good film.”

This is a shame; I was going to see Up In The Air hoping for a movie on the level of Michael Clayton. I may use that two hours of movie time instead for filming my Michael Clayton homage.
