It's like a Royal Rumble, but with people pretending to be music artists.

-James Bond: A little. But I won't consider myself to be in trouble until I start weeping blood.

The reviews have been more postive than negative so far however. Not that I plan on rushing to the multiplex to see it, but I'm just saying.

Wtf is has an 80% on RT! Interesting. However, FLY likes a movie that has an 80% rather than 20%. I am confused.

It's called a paradigm shift.

Yeah, it's weird.  A lot of the big name critics sort of said the same thing I said — i.e., it's not life-changing or anything but better than you'd expect.  But whereas the Metacritic score is 66, the IMDb rating is only 4.9 (after about 500 votes).

(Also, FLY hasn't seen Bandslam yet.  His mention of it above is more a reference to my nominating it for Best Soundtrack in the Filmspots, I think.)

True story: This morning my gf sent me a text that said "Disney Hercules is not a good movie"
