Ha! You're right. I'm not too self-righteously pissed off yet. That was only the Medicaid application. However you're right -- there doesn't seem to be any help for those of us who haven't made disastrous choices in our lives but are still just struggling to keep above water.

It would be kind of interesting to watch the evolution of their relationship if not for the yowling and screeching that sound so nightmarish. We just want a pair of cats like we see on LOLcats that sleep with their arms wrapped around each other.

Well, as you read, I felt exactly the same way. The truth is I read or heard a glowing review from someone who I respect a great deal (though not enough to remember who they are exactly), and that's what really turned me around.

1) I can answer that if you want to be spoiled. Or you can trust me that it was handled in a fairly believable and satisfactory way -- at least I didn't walk out of the theater feeling like it was a gyp of an ending or a cop-out, and believe me, I'm the first one to make a fuss when an ending seems that way to me.

2) Funny you should mention that. I listened to a podcast on some geek site where they spent a solid hour praising the movie. It helped solidify some of the reasons why I loved it that I couldn't really put into words so soon after being dazzled by it. They pointed out that it isn't 3D where things are flying at your face all the time (in fact, I don't remember anything flying out of the screen). It's 3D as more of a depth perception. 3D in reverse: you can see deeper into the screen rather than the action coming out at you. They said it was the closest thing they'd seen in a theater that felt like looking through a window. But they really hated the dorky glasses.

They also backed me up on the unoriginal storyline: They said if you figure out how it ends by 15 minutes in, that just means you aren't an idiot. However, it was still well told and keeps you interested regardless.
