Movie thoughts - in capsule form
Mr. Brooks -
Normally, "Lame techno-strobe-light-gun-battle" would be an oxymoron, as techno-strobe-light-gun-battles are normally kick ass. Not so much here.
Hannibal Rising -
So apparently Dr. Hannibal Lecter was a badass samurai action hero who risked life and limb to save his Japanese aunt with whom he was intimately involved. When did he ever find time to enjoy "fava beans and a nice Chianti?"

Sith = Sh*t spelled differently.
I just recently caught about ten minutes of the "final" Star Wars movie, episode 3. And from the ten minutes, it's finally dawned on me that if you liked ANY of the second trilogy, you're an idiot. No other movies have succeeded so much based purely on the franchise. These movies were pieces of crap, and everyone knows it, but the fan boys are too proud to admit it. Seriously, watch this and tell me what is (A) exciting, (B) well done or (C) coherent about any of it:
Any answers? The action was boring, I've had better sword fights after a night at the bar. And how could Samuel L. Jackson take a movie that made him such a wuss? And on that same note, I know Sammy can act, but he's just laughable here. Hooray George Lucas, you can spend a couple hundred million, make a couple hundred million more, all while making decent actors look like they should have played the trees in their high school renditions of "Death of a Salesman."

Guh.
Well, those of you still watching (and enjoying) Lost, take heart.
I think 24 is confirmed to run for a similar length of time, which is about 4 years too much. I wonder if a show like Firefly (had people not been idiots and watched it) - which ruled for 13 episodes - had been allowed to run for as long as the creators wanted, would have eventually sucked a lot of balls?
My heart says no, but my balls... my balls say yes.
