Really great movie, it could have been an absolute disaster, but it's actually a very entertaining and witty flick.

Nicolas Cage does not suck at all in it, and that's high praise from me. The rest of the cast is fantastic, and it's uncomfortable in all the right places.

it is a rare Cage movie indeed. Not to often do you see him in a movie and not want to punch him in the face.

I thought the movie was entertaining. The little girl made the movie. I almost peed myself when I was laughing when she pulled out the c word.

Really liked it. Will probably see it again with the girlfriend. Agreed with the sentiment that Hit Girl made the movie. Although I hope they work on her eloqution for the sequel. In the beginning I couldn't understand half her lines.

Nick Cage's Shatner super hero voice was hilarious.

And the rub-on tan scene; just delightful.

I am in complete agreement with this. It's very over the top, but there's something... comfortably entertaining... about how it's all done.

The best summary I've read is: "Spider Man and Kill Bill had a baby and named it Kick-ass."

And I too usually loathe Nicolas Cage, but his performance in this is probably the best I've ever seen.

***Minor Spoiler Alert***

The rub-on lotion scene was nice... but I actually like better the scenes in the comic book store and behind it where Katie says "if Kick Ass were here, I'd definitely fug his brains out"... that was hawt.

Edit and P.S. ... and much to my relief, the actress who plays Katie is 23 IRL.... That made enjoying these scenes much more complete.

      Snow in the high country

      By rayzor · Posted

      yeah. winter backpacking trips were the most miserable and amazing experiences. same with the coldest and snowiest hunting  experiences. i love being in it. makes for incredible memories. the worse it was, the more i ended up loving it. made the greatest memories.  i just want to get out of it afterwards.

      If you wanted Danny Dimes here’s the chance

      I forgot about Jackson...definitely elite.  The sad part of your list is that 2 of them were 'there for the taking for the Panthers'.  Rumor has it that Hurney loved Herbert and was vetoed on trying to trade up.  And rumor has it that Frank & McCown wanted Stroud.  I believe both rumors.

      Snow in the high country

      By LinvilleGorge · Posted

      I went on a solo elk hunt in the Flat Tops. It was awesomely miserable. LOL It was a late season hunt, I think third season and it was forecasted to snap off cold with highs in the upper thirties and lows in the single digits. fug it, I'm going anyway. They were wrong. The highs were in the low 20s and the lows were in the negative teens. I shivered so hard the first night I thought my teeth were going to break. It was the only time I've ever been legit concerned that I might be in trouble. Crawled out of my sleeping bag and got a fire started and suffered through the night bundled up next to the fire. I slept the next two nights literally wearing every stitch of clothing I'd brought with Nalgenes full of near boiling water in the bottom of my sleeping bag. That was the only way to have non-frozen water in the morning anyway. There was about a foot of snow on the ground and the melt/freeze crust was almost enough to support your weight but you'd go crashing through just as you went or make your step. It was exhausting travel and every step sounded like a rifle shot. Hunting was basically impossible. I never saw an elk in those four days, only saw 5-6 deer. LOL It was brutal but I loved it. Absolutely beautiful country that is never been to before and haven't been back since. I needed that four day complete break from society fighting for my life against the elements. I'm weird like that.
