Ooh, Clarissa. What did you think of 'Scoop'? We came this || close to going to see it yesterday, but one thing led to another and it didn't happen. Do you recommend it?

I think my standards must have been too high. It seemed like the rest of the audience laughed a lot more than I did. It wasn't that I didn't get the jokes, I did. Go just wanting to be entertained and you'll probably like it. And there were several threads that never got tied up at the end, which bugged me. I think the script needed tightening, before being shot.

Oh, see that would bug me to no end. I can't stand logic flaws and inconsistencies. I think I'll take a pass on it.
I'm looking forward to "Little Miss Sunshine" coming out in a couple of weeks. In spite of the dreaded Steve Carell (see the thread in his honor), it looks really good. And even he looks like he rose to the occasion in the couple of previews I've seen. And I love Greg Kinnear to pieces. I have since his "Talk Soup" days. Uh-oh. Deja vu... Have I said this very thing on this board (or somewhere) already?
