Yeah, so I saw a lot of movies this weekend.

Elizabeth: The Golden Age - Mediocre, at best. Slow and dragged on. Shorten it to 2 hours and it's golden. It's not, so it fails.

Michael Clayton - Amazing. Everything about it is awesome. However, it's VERY complex and mind bending. You have to think, so be prepared. I still feel like I'm missing key details of exactly what happened. Gotta see it again.

Across the Universe - Perfect is one word that comes to mind. It just works. And, contrary to many people I bet, the movie is best viewed sober. Trust me.

BTW, you didn't assume anything about the ambiguity because you didn't recognize it as ambiguous, which is completely understandable since you knew exactly what you meant.

As if the same can't be said for you or Baby Lee.

I'm sure that if I ever went back and watched the original series, I'd find it too cheesy to be enjoyable. Mork and Mindy, a series I liked as a child, did that to me when I watched it with my kids recently. I went into the A-Team movie expecting not to like it, but I'll be damned if I didn't have a really good time with it.

I have recently watched some of the episodes on Netflix instant. They are cheesy but I still enjoy the show.

You: The only way this is ambiguous is if you are a complete moron

Me: The sentence as structured meets the criteria for ambiguity.

Discuss any observed differences in style.

Next time I suppose I'll be more careful, or more likely just not post anything at all.

'busting balls' over posting ambiguities is one of the funnest things to do here. Think of all the carousing threads there've been when someone boasts about sexual conquest, but left room for musing over whether it was hetero, homo, maternal or solitary prowess.

Don't stress it, join the fun.

****. I post about a movie, which I think is one of the greatest I've ever seen, and then I come back to the thread and you guys are just shitting it up with some bullshit. Stop it.

Well, if you want to go see it, go ahead. Don't keep telling us you want to.

That's what you get for leaving us home alone for so long, mommy.

My post was overly dramatic. I didn't really mean it to come across that way.

I appreciate this level of self-awareness.
