The only movies playing were spiderman and the watch. Spiderman was playing in 30 minutes; the watch was playing in 5 minutes. I opted out for time over quality it seems.<\/p>\n<p>How would you describe the plot?<br \/>\n-&gt; Ben Stiller is the lead and plays an uppity, impotent douchebag who spends more time community organizing than bangin is hot wife. Jonah Hill plays a psychopath (curious?) and Vince Vaughn plays Vince Vaughn as you have seen him in every movie with Vince Vaughn. They toss in the only black (half) English comedian I have ever seen in my life just for shits and gigs&#8230; and then a fucking alien with R. Lee Ermy<\/p>\n<p>Who, if anyone, deserves to die for their contribution to this film?<br \/>\n-&gt; Ben Stiller<\/p>\n<p>Would you say this film is better or worse than Bret Ratner&#8217;s immortal<br \/>\nRush Hour II?<br \/>\n-&gt; I would rather watch Rush Hour II every day in hell on repeat than go through that movie again.<\/p>\n<p>Would it be accurate to say The Watch made you sad &#8216;in the pants&#8217;?<br \/>\n-&gt; More like an angry sad.<\/p>\n<p>How long after viewing the watch did you suffer erectile dysfunction?<br \/>\n-&gt; The effects this movie had on my sex life were staggering<\/p>\n<p>If James Holmes had shot up a theater of people attending this film, would he be a lock for the Nobel Peace prize for mercy killings?<br \/>\n-&gt; Too soon or not soon enough? He wouldn&#8217;t get Nobel, but he would definitely snag Presidential Medal of Freedom<\/p>\n<p>What, if anything, did the vietnam war have to do with this film?<br \/>\n-&gt;The movie attempted the strategy of attrition devised by General Westmoreland in order to kill the time of the maximum amount of movie goers.<\/p>\n<p>Could Mel Gibson have saved this film?<br \/>\n-&gt;easily<\/p>\n<p>What is the atomic # of zinc?<br \/>\n-&gt;30<\/p>\n<p>You&#8217;re Big Gay Al and you pretty much get to rape whomever you want in the prison that has been your home for the last 5 years. \u00a0The whole (male) cast of the watch is in your shower. Who feels the pain 1st and why?<br \/>\n-&gt;I would save Ben Stiller till the end because I would not want to have him crying for the entire time after I rape him first..I would take the english guy&#8230;..he&#8217;s got a pretty mouth&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>Compare and contrast this film to an average DMV experience.<br \/>\n-&gt;no comment<\/p>\n<p>And finally, do you think you&#8217;ll kill again?<\/p>\n<div>\n<div>-&gt; any new Batman&#8217;s coming out anytime soon?<\/div>\n<div>\u00a0<\/div>\n<p>\u00a0<em>Well, there you have it folks.\u00a0 Avoid the watch.\u00a0 And don&#8217;t complain about my favoritism of the Army over other branches.\u00a0 I&#8217;ll talk to a navy guy once the rest stop bathroom revokes my restraining order and I&#8217;m sure I&#8217;ll run into some Air Force and Marine guys at pilates.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In order to include points of view other than my own (not that there&#8217;s any value in opinions that aren&#8217;t mine, just being random) and to avoid actually having to see it for myself; I&#8217;ve queried an anonymous Army serviceman &hellip; <a href=\"https:\/\/movieox.com\/?p=373\">Continue reading <span class=\"meta-nav\">&rarr;<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[4],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-373","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-review"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/movieox.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/373","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/movieox.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/movieox.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/movieox.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/movieox.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=373"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/movieox.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/373\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":375,"href":"https:\/\/movieox.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/373\/revisions\/375"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/movieox.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=373"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/movieox.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=373"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/movieox.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=373"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
