Kate and I went to see Adventureland* tonight and I really liked it. We were in a crazy hurry to get there and then ended up being half an hour early, because apparently I am incapable of reading movie times correctly. Kate thinks it is my subconscious doing everything it can to make sure we don't miss the previews. It is possible that she is not wrong.
Speaking of previews, we saw the trailer for Crank 2.
Holy shit. Statham was dead, you guys. But he got better. And now there is a jumper cable on his tongue.Anyway, Adventureland was really great. It is being marketed like a straight up comedy, but I think that the phrase "from the director of Superbad" gives the wrong impression. I mean, sure, there are still boner jokes, but in Adventureland the boner jokes manage to hint at a deep ocean of melancholy, just below the surface.**
*Not to be confused with Southland, the new police drama, from the creators of ER, starring Ryan from The OC. Although that did premier tonight. And I may end up watching it at some point.
**Anybody?

It's very confusing. The titles are almost the same.
