Weak year in movies

I disagree but I respect your candor:
Don Cheadle is Captain Planet

I thought they toned the "overly patriotic" bit quite a bit in the movie, and parodied it even in the bit when he was selling war bonds. They kept the patriotism directly with how Steve Rogers felt and was willing to selflessly fight for America. Didn't seem to overdo it at all.
I'm gonna agree that the movie isn't the way I would have like to have seen it though, and agree with the comments that Chris Evans kinda blows, but I still wouldn't call the movie on of the worst of they year, especially when there are things like Hangover 2 or "Big Momma's house 3: Like Father Like Son" on the table.
BTW, I love not having my cereal soggy in milk, AND I am a fan of Captain Crunch. I guess you can say, like the captain, I'm a pretty "pro-crunch" guy.

Instead I got some special edition with an optional descriptive audio track for the blind.
I cannot, for the life of me, think of a movie more boring than the Paranormal Activity series for a blind person. Except perhaps Fantasia.
The descriptions always come a few seconds before the action, so it's along the lines of
"The door slowly opens..... then it slams shut..." *BANG*
And it's given in a flat monotone by a male narrator.
Damnedest thing, worth a listen for a few minutes.

Fantasia has always been fairly popular with the blind community. Theatres have great sound systems and the blind community are largely audiophiles. The deaf community, however, is largely bored to ---steaming pile of meadow muffin--- by Fantasia but are huge fans of horror because they don't spend all their time freaking out at the "ka-cha-cha ooh-cha-cha" sound effects. They as a group do kinda lump into the "hurry up and show us the damn monster already" camp, but I'm right there with them.
Vigo:
I would think anything musical would be bad with audio descriptions for the blind cutting into the song. Pink Floyd's: The Wall would be hilarious with the music constantly being cut into with monotone comments like "hundred of faceless children shuffle emotionlessly into a giant meat grinder." or "An army of giant pairs of hammers march along the landscape."

Agreed. I still havent seen Hangover 2 or Big Mommas house haha. Conan was a huge disappointment though, I liked CA more than that tripe, and I was actually looking forward to that one.
Hey, I love having a good buzz from time to time, because being sober is just plain boring. I formally endorse Captain Morgan, I would sail to the ends of the earth with that guy!
