Your mission, should you choose to accept it, is to watch a crappy movie that’s short on plot, characters, or point but high on action. You will realize after the movie the superiority of 24, and be thankful for it.

My wife finished her student teaching yesterday. She was excited. We had to celebrate. The penniless couple saw a movie and went out to dinner.

We’d heard that Mission Impossible 3 was the best of the bunch, and while that might be true, I can’t say that makes it worth seeing.

Save yourself the trouble and start with season 1 instead. (You can rent it). You’ll be glad you did.

And while we’re on the subject of movies, I noticed that Hoot has gotten absolutely wretched reviews. I mentioned the movie earlier and noted:

While the movie is certain to be ridiculed by those who think conservation gets in the way of progress, it does seem to portray the message that subdivisions aren’t compatible with natural ecosystems. That’s a message most people don’t understand in my estimation.

Well, it seems the movie makers have done us the favor of making sure that ridicule is well deserved. Just what I love to see. An important message (habitat IS conservation) that weakens rather than supports its cause. Someone should tell them to do us a favor and not make the movie next time.
