Has the quality of movies been steadily declining in the last 5 years? What’s Playing tonight looks weak as all hell, with the exception of March of the Penguins and perhaps Broken Flowers. Watching Bill Murray paint a wall for 2 hours would be entertaining, so I’m not necessarily dying to see the latter. 40 Year Old Virgin is clearly a dvd rental and I’ll pass on Wedding Crashers altogether.
I hear Grizzly Man is good, a flamboyant dude who lives with bears, until the bears kill him sounds entertaining but, like the penguins, I’m not feeling the urge to see it on the big screen.
When it comes to other lower budget flicks - I’ve never thought of Penn as a comedian (not a very good one anyway, great magician though) so I have little interest in an un-funny inside joke. So what the hell should Susan & I see tonight? By the way, Crash is a good rental.

Amen…
I liked it better when everyone in hollywood was out to rip off indie films and make movies with great characters and twisted plots rather than this new revival of bad 80’s comedies and RoboCop style action flicks.
Where are the Coen Brothers, Parker Posie, and Johnny Depp (without Tim Burton for a minute) when you need them?
Out of all the muck I would suggest the Aristicrats (not for Penn persay but there is everybody and anybody in there), the movie about Kirt Cobain, or going out and renting a classic.
