Meredith, Patrik (one of the PMs at work) and I went to see "Team America: World Police" yesterday. It's definitely worth seeing -- I think it might be the funniest movie I've seen since the South Park movie, which makes a certain amount of sense, since it was made by the creators of South Park. I especially appreciated that the voice of North Korean leader Kim Jong Il was essentially the voice of Cartman with a bad accent. Very fitting.
Stupidest looking movie trailer: "Flight of the Phoenix", which is evidently about a plane that crashes in the middle of a desert. The survivors do what anyone would logically do, which is decide to make a new airplane out of the parts of the one that just crashed. I can deal with marionettes prancing around talking about WMDs, but I'm afraid I can't suspend my disbelief enough to deal with the notion of a bunch of people rebuilding an airplane out of the parts of one that just plowed into the desert.

But I _especially_ find the concept hard (i.e., impossible) to swallow when thinking about any kind of modern airplane.

America. Fuck, yeah.
