Superbad is somewhat good

i-887580598c5ad5686e4bdb4220afc386-superbad.jpgWent to see Superbad with Jake, Kara & Jason Rosenhouse. I thought it was OK, only checked time once. But again, the pairing of fug dudes with un-fug chicks leaves me unsuspended in my disbelief.

OK, so a bunch of us sciencebloggers went to New York City this weekend. This is something that we were trying to do for almost a year now. Sure, many of us Sciblings have met one-on-one on occasion, but this was an opportunity to get many of us together all in the same place at the same time, to…

This movie was really funny! I though it was fantastic.

There's a market for it though. As in, "hey that dude's even uglier than me and he's STILL got hot chicks buzzing around him. Maybe there's hope. Hey, I LIKE this flick. It was, you know, like FUNNY and all -- LIGHTEN UP."

Whenever you see a really hot chick in a movie, ask yourself "What proportion of [female doctors / prosecutors / CIA agents / FBI agents / archeologists / coal miners....etc.] looks like [Angelina Jolie / Julia Roberts ... etc.]?

Most films are sex fantasies. Valerie Plame was an extraordinarily hot CIA agent, but nowhere near a Holywood sex bomb.

I know what you mean, but... take a walk through a rich neighborhood some time.

Sex bombs can go off in your face.
