Agreed, agreed. The trailer, now that was one of the best trailers in years - it really got me interested in what the movie was about, it didn't show you the whole movie in 3 minutes. After the film, though, I felt like the trailer was just a trick to get me into the theater, and I fell for it.
The first part of the film showed promise, I thought. But it quickly degenerated, and suspension of disbelief was pushed beyond the breaking point.
In the last 20 minutes or so, my wife and I were relieved almost when a woman in the back of the theater started laughing. We started laughing, too. They call me Mr. Glass...give me a break...and as the poster mentioned, aren't there enough transportation and natural disasters without Samuel Jackson's character 'getting proactive' and causing them himself? Sheesh. Better luck next time, M. Night Shamalamadingdong.
This morning, my wife and I went to the local fire department in a nearby very small and very Republican town to vote. We both voted for Nader and hardly felt like Bush supporters as our state (Indiana) is a Bush state,
so in this case if you dislike Bush and Gore, not
voting for a 3rd party candidate you prefer truly
feels like wasting your vote.
Anyhow, in the instructions on casting a write-in vote, it tells you to ask for a pen, but both my wife and I started wondering if this kind of violates the concept of the ballot being 'secret'.
I grabbed a pen as I went in, and the woman at the
table helpfully explained write-in votes, and
that writing in a vote for anyone but President
is a waste because it won't be counted, so that
was very nice, but it still kind of bugged me that
they didn't just have a pen in the booth so it
wouldn't have to be a big production.
Well, there are bigger things to worry about, sure, but to those of you doing a write-in, just
remember to bring your own pen!
