Yeah that's probably it.

Pretty much lol. Although Open Water had two people I think. Even then, the whole point is you got left out in the ocean? So basically the plot is "hey, we need to get back!" No thanks. I'd rather be stuck in the ocean than stuck in space though lol. I like space movies though.

I was disappointed by that one. I thought I'd like it more than I did. I guess it wasn't too bad though.

I probably shouldn't have listed Fantastic Mr. Fox. Wes Anderson is a very weird dude and he's very much a love or hate kind of director. I love his stuff but I can definitely see how people could not like it. Up in the Air and The American though, I don't see how anyone could not like those, unless they only like the above mentioned movies with lots of CGI explosions.


I usually can't take overly cheesy movies either though. I watch GI Joe and things like that and find myself rolling my eyes almost the whole time lol.

I forgot Wes Anderson directed that. I've seen a couple of his other movies. I have The Royal Tenenbaums, but that's definitely weird and sometimes funny lol. I think the funniest part was Owen Wilson blasting down the street in the Caddy with his face painted and hitting the house lol. I've also seen another one of Wes' movies, the one with the three brothers, can't remember what it was called, Darjeeling Limited I think. Oh and Rushmore. All weird but kinda funny too. I usually think movies like this aren't as funny the first time I watch them, but I find them hilarious later when I watch them again.

when I read articles that highlight "top 5/10/etc poor management practices, Signs of a toxic workplace, ways to demotivate employees, etc"... and all items are a perfect match to workplace... :(

I prefer that to dark. Primarily because after dark means the teenagers that drive themselves around.

Until I had a kid, I thought parents that brought their young ones around were just greedy bastards that wanted candy for themselves. But really, the kids get such a kick out of it. And...well, I'm a greedy bastard.

I prefer those over the 10-11pm teens. I've been in bed and heard the doorbell ring from those morons. Although I've also had kids attempt trick-or-treating on Oct 30th. I think those are the super-concerned parents lol. "We better take them the day before, at 4pm. We've always told them that it's not Halloween yet though and asked them to return later.
