Red State is going to be bust a nut good.

Since you have challenged my superior opinions I will separate your challengers into three categories:

I have not heard of these movies and therefore they are irrelevant:

Also regardless of how good children's movies are (this includes Winnie the Pooh and The Smurfs) I refuse to go to them after having a terrible experience with Kung-Fu Panda a few summers ago due to little shits being little shits (hint: this is actually all children).

Movies you are wrong about:

Ryan Reynolds is sex but this does not imply the movie won't suck (it will). I loved the book Mr. Popper's Penguins as an elementary-schooler but Jim Carrey ruins everything. Planet of the Apes, just no.

Movies you are right about and because of their presence I modify my assertion to "x-men is the best movie to come out so far this summer":

Also note that I only grant this because I am currently into Harry Potter on account of recently being prescribed Adderall (I have no explanation for this).
