For lack of anything better, a movie review

Man, I've not really been online for a couple of days. And since it's late and my brain's being weird at me, a movie review.

Last night, me and some friends watched Grandma's Boy, because two of the friends had seen it and said it was hilarious. And we started watching Munich, but unanimously decided we didn't want to spend our hanging out and having fun evening watching a depressing movie all about people dying. I'd seen the movie poster way back when in the theater and it looked stupid.

Overall, I'd say my impression of the movie poster was right. It wasn't very good. It was a bunch of set pieces strung together on the bare semblance of a plot. But it was surreal watching it, because a good chunk of it was about video games. And even though they were the "heroes" of the story, it was still depressing, kinda like how Napoleon Dynamite was. It wasn't nerdspolitation, quite, but I was watching these people doing incredibly stupid things, and some of them reminded me way too much of things I've done, or people I know have done. And it wasn't even that funny.

And yeah, way too many weed jokes. Not worth seeing.

A question for internet-land

Okay, so. Why exactly are there so many different series about old ladies solving mysteries? Books and TV shows, the whole nine yards. Is it just because there's a large market of old ladies who like to read mysteries (and like gardening, or anything British)? Or did it start out with like Murder: She Wrote, and then the rest of the knockoffs spawned a genre around it, kinda like superheroes did with Superman?
