I, for one, am sick and tired of everything everyone says anymore being prefaced by something about the economy. “Well, in this economy…” “With this current economic climate…” “Times are tough all around, and…” It’s like, thanks. For a minute there, I’d forgotten about the impending societal collapse. But I appreciate the reminder! Really!

I wanted to write a hilarious and awesome April Fool’s day post for you all, until I realized that a) I had no good ideas, and b) there is already an actual film-related news item out there that sounds like a bad April Fool’s Day joke..

Like a fungus, except not.

There are some movies that just don’t quite hit you the first time around. You walk away feeling a little underwhelmed, maybe confused, not quite sure how to feel about the whole thing. About five days later you realize you can’t stop talking about it and you want to see it again. You’re looking up clips on YouTube and browsing discussion forums on IMDB. (A dangerous game, but you simply can’t help yourself.) It’s never the same experience for everyone, but I have a feeling I’m not the only one who had this experience with some of these movies. As always, please light up the comments section with contributions of your own.

Remember that episode of Family Guy when God decided to smite Peter for stealing his thunder? I seem to remember that Brian had absolutely no issue believing that 1) there was a God, and 2) he was pissed.

Apparently, Dean Winters isn’t working hard enough on “Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles,” so they brought Dennis Duffy back to “30 Rock.” Liz’s scummy yet somehow appealing ex-boyfriend has discovered that he’s a sex addict, and although Liz is skeptical, he is determined to apologize to all the women he has wronged by “ruining them for other men.” Liz brushes off his apology, but when she answers Jenna’s cell phone during a rehearsal, she is shocked to learn that Dennis got to her best friend too.
