So my Darrenversary happened at some point in the last week :)
Audio file ripped from video. SO THIS IS DARREN AT THE AMERICAN AUSTRALIAN ASSOCIATION DINNER. It's a sign. He's totally coming here for my birthday.

SOFT FOCUS SEXIN'
After Elton recap.
I LOVE THE WARBLERS SO MUCH. Can't Kurt and Blaine just transfer back and ditch McKinley all together and that can be Glee from now on?
And last Friday (November 4th) I totally forgot to review In Time
Started out as a decent-ish scifi action thriller with an interesting premise and ended up a silly mess. It just got dumber with every passing minute. I mean, the idea is cool - after you turn 25 you stop aging and time becomes currency - and it has a great cast. I've always through Timberlake was a half decent actor (he's been easily the best thing in a lot of dodgy movies) and I love Amanda Seyfried. Also, incredibly flexible definition of 25 in this movie. Cillian Murphy stopped being able to pass for 25 a decent while ago, even if he does have the most interesting role in the movie, and Matt Boner doesn't look anywhere near 25 either (although I didn't mind the opportunity to look at him).
Still, suspension of disbelief and all that, but this movie generally didn't even LOOK as cool as it could have. There's no innovation here, and the action just gets sillier and sillier, to the point where it's less suspension of disbelief and more "this is utter crap". I spent a lot of time waving my hand and going "Pfft, they're fine" after life-threatening injuries, slack-jawed at Amanda Seyfried's ability to outrun Cillian Murphy in progressively higher heels and shorter skirts. Alex Pettyfer ruins every scene he's in by chewing the scenery like it's candy, and not in the fun way. It's just ridiculous, and the message doesn't even translate.
