8. It's obvious they are being strictly professional. LOL
I read a synopsis of the plot. Sounds dumb as hell, as well as improbable. Sigh. Scratch that one off the list.

10. From what I have seen it seems to be a satire of sorts
The prototypical suburban family who just happen to be spies and blow stuff up. Looks interesting to me.

12. I haven't seen anything, I have read a synopsis and...
...a complimentary review that says they "burn up the screen" in the flick. The synopsis and review did not mention it being a satire, maybe the reviewer missed that?

As my wife will attest, I'm real selective about the flicks I go see at theaters. I like shows that move me emotionally, and they are precious few and far between in today's visually driven entertainment world.

:shrug:

If I do somehow catch this one, it'll be a rental.

15. Yeah I am cheap too
:bounce:

With my wife preggo we can't really go to a theater anyway but even before that I categorize them as "big screen" and "rental". If it is a grand huge movie that seeing on the big screen will add to-then we go. If it is a relationship/dialogue move-rental.

16. Nope, not a matter of cheap. It's a matter of...
...not wanting to reward shitty work. And most of what Hollywood puts out in the past 4-5 years is utter crap.

9. Kevin Kline...
was the guy who taught me that life is not fair.

In "A Fish Called Wanda" he got to feel up Jamie Lee Curtis. Got paid for it. Won an Academy Award for it.

I've made a serious vocational error.
