They tend to watch dumb movies like Daredevil or Steven Seagal stuff. The emotional ones are those who loves corny flicks like Titanic and Lost In Translation.

Okay, another game/pip thread. The aim of the game is to list a movie character and the actor who portrayed him. The following person then has to suggest an actor who would have done an equally good or even better job with the part.

Today I went to the movies and saw a preview for a remake of Footloose! At first, I thought, "Oh no, not another one." but as it went on I saw it was closer to the musical version than the movie and I thought, "It could be okay, if they do it right."
