Maybe Pirates should only be on my top 20. I won't budge in my opinion that that was a damn good movie.
I'm glad we agree on that! I hardly ever find someone that likes both of those movies.
I don't know if I've said this to you before, but the only thing I liked about Underworld was the part at the end where the guy gets part of his face sliced off and it just sort of slips down. But too many friends of mine like the movie for me to put it down too often. It's not that I hated it, like I hated Van Helsing, but it didn't live up to any of my suprahigh expectations.
I liked them both. Okay, Stranger Than Fiction dragged a bit, and you were right that the bits of the book being narrated were horrible and really not worth dying over (most of your observations were spot-on for me), but I nearly cried when I thought Harold was dead so the movie gets a permanent spot on my "good movie" list. I thought Maggie Gyllenhaal's character was horrendously annoying. Do you watch Family Guy?
I enjoyed Running With Scissors, but I have the feeling it would make a much better book. My favorite part was the end, when it was catching up on what would happen to all of the characters in the future, and it said something like, "Augusten moved to New York. He wrote a book." Wait, Neil was played by the guy from Shakespeare in Love? I'm going to have to go back and watch that again. I didn't see that at all.

I seriously had to look up Ewan McGregor.
