He does not, however, enjoy stupid comedies (not that all comedies are stupid; just that he dislikes the stupid ones) like Team America and rates accordingly... And I agree...

I'd agree with you if Team America was a "stupid" comedy. Watch an episode of South Park or the South Park movie and if you can't agree that these are some of the most clever or intelligent political, but funny commentaries on television, than I guess we just have a difference of opinion. I feel the same way about Team America as I do about South Park, so maybe Ebert and I will just have to agree to disagree.

OKay, maybe "stupid" was a little harsh... Maybe "base?" No... "crude?" Okay, seriously, I'm trying not to be insulthing. I'm just talking about jokes about, well, pubic hairs and stuff like that... You know... Puppet sex and stuff...

Which is what I (and what I have figured, Ebert) doesn't like...

So...

Crude...Okay, I'd agree, but maybe I'm one of those people that thinks that crude can be funny and effective at certain points. I don't know, I am very biased. I'm of the opinion that Tre Parker and Matt Stone can't do much wrong until an episode of South Park doesn't make me laugh, and that hasn't happened yet...

Okay, back to Star Wars... I want to see it, but no one else here seems interested. What shall I do? Thursday everyone just wants to get wasted (which I do also, but I will see Star Wars while drunk...)

See it Wednesday at midnight, then get wasted Tursday evening. Everybody's happy!

Depending on how much I like the movie I am going to try and see it every weekend that I possibly can until I can either recite the movie word for word....or my eyes start to bleed.

Eh, I live in hicktown, Vermont (for college)...It doesn't even start showing here until sometime on Thursday here...Which is good in many ways because I doubt that even some of the premeire weekend dates will be sold out... (I saw Sin City on opening night and 20-30 people where there at the most) I could probably see it some other day no problem.

EDIT: Drunk now, hence any typos...
