This is not a vent board or any other kind of therapy. Before you hit the POST button, ask yourself if your contribution will add to the level of discussion going on.

Important notes on articles:

• Please do not copy entire articles into your post; rather, provide links to them.. We are now links-only for ALL Internet publications. If only a small portion of the article pertains to your post, Fair Use allows you to copy those one or two paragraphs, provided you cite the author's name and the publication for which he writes. Otherwise, put a link in the HTTP Link box.
• Even if you're copying a reference to an article, provide a link to the page from which the article came. We're trying to cut down on duplicate topics, and the posting process will check the link to your article to see if it's already being discussed on this board. At the very least, you'll save yourself some grief on the boards.
• If your first reaction after reading the article you're going to share is the author is uninformed / stupid / a jerk / all of the above, it's not worth sharing with anyone. Not every article needs to be discussed. The more the hair-pulling articles are discussed (e.g. ESPN Page 2), the more the authors will write hair-pulling articles.

Movie Night by Irishbuzz

We recently considered going to the movies this weekend with the whole family. After considering the cost of tickets and potential expense of cheap, overpriced junk food, I would only agree to go if it was to see a very good movie.

There was one particular Notre Disney sequel that was supposed to challenge for best picture. The critical reviews suggest that it’s a cheap, poorly scripted sequel. Character development isn’t lacking only because the key cast members actually regress over the course of the movie.

I’m not wasting my time with the movies. Perhaps I’ll go to a park with the kids or smoke a brisket. Maybe I’ll cut down a tree. I’ll find something to do that I actually enjoy. I suggest you do the same.
