At $9.50 a pop, either one of these movies would have been pretty disappointing, but if you split the difference by theater hopping, then I guess it works out. Basically the plot of the new Bond is some incomprehensible thing involving an international utilities company, and the plot of role models is kids are funny. Quantum of Solace is incomprehensible, Role Models is too comprehensible. Put them together and you have a great movie about British spies looking after kids spewing the word "motherfucker" while M lets her titties flop out for no reason and cars crash into school buses and blow up. Also the Star Trek trailer.RATING: 53%/36% Individually, 73% combined

It's too bad Quantum of Solace was shitty. I thought Casino Royale was one of the better action movies I had seen in a while.
9.50 just bought you a one-way ticket back to canada DEPORTED!!!
Sorry I missed it with you guys. We made it to the theatre much later in the day.
Will I agree, QoS was super complicated and a bit hard to follow, I'd still rate it higher than most of the Bond films I've seen. It's not Casino Royale, but it's close.
You know, in retrospect, I don't think it was THAT complicated, I just think I expected the movie to somehow come together in a way at the end that made me care about what happened, and it never did. I mean, come on, evil utilities company? Really? Can't we please just have a laser that vaporizes cities again?
There are so many things wrong with this post.
1. Aren't you a little old to be theater hopping?
2. Don't complain about movie ticket prices until you are living here in the big city where the admission price is that actually have to take one in the ass before you're allowed to go in.
3. And if you're in my neighborhood you have to sit next to some asshole poor people who couldn't afford a babysitter and so they have their stupid crying baby in a giant stroller blocking the aisle.
4. Why did you go see either of these? That's one hell of a way to waste a Saturday.
5. Aren't you a little old for theater hopping?
Hey, $10 is too much to pay for a movie ticket anywhere, especially when those companies buying ad time are already paying the theaters money.
The perfect part about theater hopping when you're older is that they don't expect it from you. It's also a victimless crime, and great way to procrastinate on grading.
Laurie, your #2 is the reason why Glenn has fallen in with a seasoned theatre-hopper. When the two-dollar movie theatre became the $3.50 movie theatre, I turned to hopping.
The movies cost TWELVE freaking dollars here!
dam!
