is a piece of crap. I knew it going in but it was my wife's turn to pick the movie.

Of course it's a piece of crap. It's a Disney movie.

Was this a date night or did you go with the whole family? These kinds of movies are usually tolerable if you are watching them with your kids.

My teenagers loved it.

It was date night and I was looking forward to a happy ending for the evening.

We went to see it late last night at the Palms, which has a theater in the casino. the game had ended, we had already gone to get something to eat, and some people wanted to see a movie.

I went into the theater, watched the first 15 minutes of it, at which time I decided it was terrible. I just went to sleep. I woke up about an hour and half later to see them pouring their water bottles all over the rocks. I watched for a few more minutes, until they found the oil and lit it on fire. Once I saw that, I went into the casino and watched people play craps until the movie was over. The cocktail waitress brought me a half sandwich and some soda, which was a nice gesture.

Was your tip for the waitress to not see that film? Tips like that are too often unappreciated because if it was monetary, it would be a tip equal to the cost of a ticket to the movie and any concessions she would buy.

That's how I justify my cheapskatedness, anyway.

I am only slightly more generous, I guess. I gave her $2, which seems to be my standard tip when someone does some random thing that I didn't even really ask them to do.

Fortunately, I didnt buy my movie ticket, so I was only out the value of my personal time, which is pretty worthless to begin with.

Did you like the first one? I enjoyed the first one. It was fun.

The first one was fun. I liked it.

The second one seemed like a desperate attempt to cash in. Kind of like the difference between M:I and M:I 2.

Also, NT2 has a blatant sequel primer implanted into the story which was gratuitous and stupid. Be prepared for NT3 in 2 years.

Religion rises inevitably from our apprehension of our own death. To give meaning to meaninglessness is the endless quest of all religion. When death becomes the center of our consciousness, then religion authentically begins. Of all religions that I know, the one that most vehemently and persuasively defies and denies the reality of death is the original Mormonism of the Prophet, Seer and Revelator, Joseph Smith.
