You know, I think that if there was a person you didn't like, and you handed them Wasabi Peas and a Vernor's ginger ale, and told them to inhale the smell of Vernor's through their nose and then take a bite of the Wasabi Peas and then exhale through their nose, you could kill them and totally get away with it.

It was good.  I liked it.

Seriously- it hit all the iconic points in a good cowboy movie, and it hit all the iconic points in a good alien movie.

Good stuff.  A little stilted in spots, and Olivia Wilde's character was SUCH A STEREOTYPE I laughed when I first saw her.  But that was kind of explained, so I'm good with that.

Anyway- we'll get it on BluRay when it comes out.

I think so, Brain, but how will we get the Spice Girls into the paella?

I went and saw it last night and really enjoyed it. Daniel Craig and Harrison Ford were so much fun as Cowboys.

[spoiler]The only thing I wished they would have explained more is WHY the aliens wanted the gold. "It's rare to them" was kind of lame.[/spoiler]

Maybe they were followers of Glenn Beck?

By that point I'd kind of given up trying to figure out "why" it was all going on and was just enjoying it.  If they'd said the aliens were harvesting cactus, I'd have been like "ok- let's kill 'em all anyway."

I thought it was a lot of fun. I thought it started off slow, though.

I thought it was fun.  I could have done without Olivia Wilde's storyline all together.  I could have used at least 10x more cantankerous Harrison Ford.
we should have kept the quote pyramid up to rape Jessie in the face.
