Movie #2 of the three my mom rented recently was The Majestic, starring Jim Carrey in the McCarthy era, doing a fine job in a dramatic role.. I really liked this movie. =)
Missed some rather significant parts of the movie that way.
That's why I don't leave movies early, or books unfinished, with very few exceptions--I like to be able to form an opinion based on the whole work, not just part of it.
Can't fault you for that without hypocrisy, since I did the same after an hour and a half of Godfather2--alternating 30 seconds of excitement with 20 minutes of boredom--and realizing there was still half the movie to go.
I liked The Majestic. But I like sappy, feel-good movies sometimes, and I didn't find any of it as terrible as you two did.. to each his own.
Reasonable, if unfortunate. I don't have many friends with webcams running, and it's often entertaining to peek in now and then--much moreso when the picture changes. :)
