Slog - Comments on It's Probably Going to Rain Tonight, So You Should Probably Go See a Movie Tonight http://slog.thestranger.com/2007/11/its_probably_going_to_rain_tonight_so_yo So let me suggest August Rush, a happy little mom-friendly fairy tale full of music that will not require a lot of thought, should you be in the mood for that sort of thing: America loves little boys. Remember when everyone creamed their pants over that Billy Elliot movie? "He wants to be a dancer! Whee!" With that rule, August Rush (by Disco Pigs director Kirsten Sheridan) should do really well in theaters. But no one is going to see it. Robin Williams is in it. And nobody feels strongly enough about the gorgeous and not-at-all-offensive Keri Russell or her...

Even if he's only in it for two minutes I refuse to see it. Sorry.

That may outweigh Robin Williams for me. Here she is on Letterman: http://youtube.com/watch?v=shYdqbJgQdc

I recognize chunks of this review from earlier; same with the Whistle Down the Wind post below. Aren't blogs supposed to have things first, not the other way around?

Okay, I'll go.

I'll see anything with dreamy Jonathan Rhys Meyers in it, no matter how awful. Even if I also have to endure Robin Williams. I can't help myself.

I'm so ashamed.

Robin Williams? Have you even seen Disco Pigs? It's unwatchable! Even the pillowy lips of Cillian Murphy couldn't save that oinker! Stay home and watch Project Runway!

There's absolutely no way.

A reviewer from Reelviews says: "An aggressively bad movie."

Go see No Country instead.

But I think I'll wait for the DVD, that way I can fast-forward through all the parts without him in it.
