Minor issue but I'm a little disappointed. You usually don't jump on the annoying forum memes so doing so for the insanely overused "normal" one especially over a trivial thing like seeing a movie or not is pretty surprising one. Plus it's not like it's "normal" to not watch blockbusters of this type, (whether it's showing of good taste or not is certainly debatable, but that's hardly the same thing as "normal".)

I won't see it in the theater but I am interested to see the interpretation of the story (plus Emma and Jennifer).

Well, that's the point: It's trivial. Hatred of big, dumb summer movies is hardly an unpopular opinion to take, and this is a big, dumb summer movie that has been compared to Battlefield Earth in terms of pacing, substance, and thematic content.

77% on Rotten Tomatoes implies otherwise...but regardless even if true doesn't really prove the point. The Transformers movies were some of the dumbest ever made and the epitome of really dumb big summer movies yet box office returns show that it's most certainly not "normal" to hate them. Really I'm just ranting about the practice because it's so overused it really means nothing at this point, people use it in cases where there's no "normal" option (as in one where there would be an obvious consensus) or even where an opinion one way or the other would be all that controversial, it's actually quite likely that if we had a "Do you prefer Coke or Pepsi?" poll you'd have people responding either "Coke (normal)" or "Pepsi (normal)".

I'm pretty sure >90% of the use of (normal) on this forum is ironic.

Rick retweeted something about how it seemed like the movie was mocking the Bible so I obviously won't go. Then again, I wasn't going to see it to begin with.

This is why there is a distinction between (normal) and (sane). Sanity isn't always the norm. Tongue

I will probably wait to see it until it's out on Blu-Ray or broadcasted on TV.
