Laugh. Between Sarah the ill-prepared and Uncle Ted the felon, there were
MANY times this election season when I wished Alaska would just get OFF
the main stage. Lord!

It is a pretty penny to go to the show today. I would say this isn't a
film you have to see on the big screen-renting the DVD would be fine I
think. It's not like Jackson's King Kong (or indeed, the original one)
which are so WAY better on a big screen. Not being into blockbusters,
there's not many films today I feel I have to see in a theater. But as I
said, I made an exception for Lucy. I didn't go back again however, unlike
Momma Mia which I paid to see three times, with various girlfriends and
once with my honey also in tow.

Welllll, THAT goes without saying.

Nice to hear from you!
