Roger Ebert says, "Friday the 13th is about the best Friday the 13th movie you could hope for. Its technical credits are excellent. It has a lot of scary and gruesome killings. Not a whole lot of acting is required. If that's what you want to find out, you can stop reading. OK, now it's just us in the room. You're not planning to see Friday the 13th, and you wonder why anyone else is.
"I know what you're thinking. No, I haven't seen them all. Wikipedia saw them so I didn't have to. The question arises: Why does Jason continue his miserable existence, when his memoirs would command a seven-figure advance, easy? There is another question. In the 1980 movie, 20 years had already passed since Jason first went to sleep with the fishes. Assuming he was a camper aged 12, he would have been 32 in 1980, and in 2009, he is 61. That helps explain why one of my fellow critics at the screening was wearing an AARP T-shirt."

What's with that photo? A preview of Obama's gays in the military policy?
They filmed The International outside my building. It looked awful out of context and from a distance. Or at least, very boring. Even by filming standards.
Clive Owen is totally fuckable though.
Re Clive, I agreed with this comment on Jezebel:

Jen, thanks for linking to that quote. It's so funny, and so so true.
