Anybody seen Talledega Nights?

It was rather boring and really didn't have any side splitters in it except for a couple of scenes. Watching Will Farrel run around in his underwear and a helmet was a good scene and the last part of the scene where his friends are trying to convince him he can walk was pretty funny. Personally I wish I would have waited till it was on DVD even though it wasn't my doe that paid my way.

Hey, whorstman, did you ever get around to seeing it? What did you think?

I still haven't seen it, but I finally saw "Superman Returns" on Friday. I went to the Imax to see it, and parts of it were in 3D. I'm a sucker for those glasses...

I bet those glasses are a great look on you

Well, they're as big as my head, so they're certainly a "look" at least, if not a great one.

And they aren't red and blue anymore; just a sort of grey.

During the movie, green images of the glasses would flash on screen when it was time to put them on, and red images when it was time to take them off. For some reason, I had trouble seeing the red images with the glasses on. Thank goodness my friend could see them and would whap me across the head when it was time to take them off or I would have kept the stupid things on for the whole movie, saying, "Well, this part isn't very good 3-D at all..."

I would have been insulted if I was a Nascar fan. The movie was okay. Not bad, not great. Somewhere in between. The only reason I went is because I had a horrible day at the track and wanted to drown my sorrows in a pound of swedish fish, which I did and paid for all night and the next morning.

That scene was hilarious... LOL

I for one thought it was "ok." I laughed really hard, but it definitely could have waited until it came out on rental. I wasn't a huge fan of how they inaccurately portrayed Nascar, but maybe that's because I follow Nascar.
