   Sally has been asking me what this film is about. My standard answer has been “It’s about 2 hours.” I have forwarded her the link to your review, because you have out-pithied me by a country mile.

   Cranky,

   That was so brilliant I’m…I’m…

   Speechless.

   Nutters like Smith don’t get my entertainment coin.

   The only movie he was ever good in was where he played a sociopathic street con artist who parlayed white guilt into a Presidential bid called “Six Degrees of Separation” (based on a true story).

   Your movie review would be in perfect poetic meter if you added “Smith” and “and”. It’s been too long since high school but I’m sure it’s not iambic or trochaic…one of those weird ones but Seussian nonetheless.

   I like Will Smith except for 6 Degrees of Separation, and now 7 Pounds. I wonder when he’ll do number 8?

   Brian, what about Ali, Independence Day and the Pursuit of Happyness? All good Smith movies. Even though I saw Six Degrees, for the life of me I cannot remember anything about it except for the game.

   OK Michelle, you want poetry?

   I’m going to steal an idea from Ace. Let’s do Movie Review Haiku.

   Here is a starter:

   No Country for Old Men:

   The screen fades to black
   Two hours yet no ending
   Enough already

   If past is prologue, chances are we can expect number 2.

   Ali, Independence Day, and the Pursuit of Happiness? Cranky, you aren’t getting to second base taking me to any of those. Sorry.

   Calm down guys. Remember this is a family forum.

   You can also throw in The Day My Two Hours Stood Still and Were Lost to the list of most horrible of movies. Maybe not Will Smith, but horrible nonetheless.

   At least the popcorn was good.

   Thanks for the tip Cap’n. There is another $20 I can save.
