In which he talks about himself in the third person...

Tommy? He doesn't like this shoddy internet service he's been getting lately.

He is also not crazy about this whole summertime deal, where it gets hot and humid, where he sweats if he's just standing out in it. He sweats enough without the help of the oppressive summer heat, thank you very much.

However, he speaks highly of George Romero's Land of the Dead movie. He liked it, though its value is more along the popcorn line of thought, than the social commentary-type.

He also liked War of the Worlds, although he thought Tom Cruise would have worked better as an Everyman type of character if almost everybody cast around him didn't seem to be cast for their relative shortness, so as not to make Mr. Cruise seem so tiny. It's like Earth was inhabitated with hobbits, or something.

It's almost like they told Tim Robbins to stay stooped over, too. Tim Robbins? He's a giant. Tom Cruise? Tiny.

Also? Tommy is somewhat frightened by Dakota Fanning. He has been ever since he saw her interviewing for the movie I Am Sam. Dakota Fanning had her shit together better at age 7 than Tommy does at age 28.

That's not a complaint on the movie. She's pretty good in the movie.

On the whole, it's a fun movie. He warns that it probably won't need or be able to bear a lot of thought being put into it. There's lots of kablooey. He knows that some people like to turn their nose up at Kablooey. But every now and then, Tommy says, we all just need some Kablooey. And this one has the Kablooey.
