James and I were just at Whole Foods getting something to eat (eel sushi makes me happy!), and since it was so packed, we had to eat in the car (fine by us, it was a little like a picnic!). Well, our car was facing the street, so as we were enjoying our delicious goods and beverages, we were talking, and making comments about cars and people walking by and whatnot. Then, a guy with downs syndrome walked by, and even though we weren’t really paying any attention to him, nor were we making any comments about him (even if we were, there was no way he could have heard us… and like I am so heartless that I would say anything about a guy with downs… come on, I do have a heart, you know); he gave us the finger about 9 times in the span of 30 paces as he walked towards the Whole Foods. He wasn’t looking at us or anything, he was just holding up his arm and repeatedly giving us the finger. Of course, that was pretty hilarious to us… James and I wondered if he really even knew he was giving us the finger, or if he was doing it intentionally. Either way, it was pretty interesting to be on the receiving end of a non-hostile middle finger “attack”. Next time, I may vote to eat in the car regardless if the place is packed or not…

This movie is extremely enjoyable, both in the story, as well as in the special effects. I can't wait for the next one!

Fun to watch, much like the first one. However, Nicholas Cage is one of the ugliest men in the movie business. Seriously!! I guess they counter his unattractiveness with the HOTTIE Justin Bartha though, so it isn't a full on assault on the eyes.

Eye candy with humor and an interesting story. The twist was a little unexpected, and it was interesting how it all ended. Definitely a fun action film. Jolie was smoking hot; as expected.

It's sad that there is such violence in this world. This film explores some of that violence, some of the violence that we fear so desperately; that of the Taliban. It really makes one wonder why people have to be so cruel, when others can understand the importance of being kind.

HOW FUN!… people watching is the shit.
Maybe he has Tourettes… but not the kind where he spews obscenities. The non-stop bird kind of Tourettes. (That is kinda funny, though.)
Did it have like 8 knuckles?
Duane, shame on you for upsetting the disabled… BTW, have you seen the old, presumably African, man in the traditional pointy Basotho hat who is always outside Whole Foods in Midtown? The bf and I always comment on him and how out of place he seems in such an urban environment so far from home. He looks like he should be herding goats on a rocky mountainside. He’s just one of the many interesting characters we’ve become familiar with in Atl.
Maybe he just doesn’t like sushi.
Amber, it shot off like a rocket, bursted in the sky, raining thousands of tiny fingers down on me.
Simon… I call that guy ‘Raiden’; because he looks like Raiden from Mortal Kombat. Yes, there are many wonderfully colorful characters in ATL; that’s what makes it fun, right?
Steve brings up a good point… if a deaf person has tourettes, do they constantly flip the bird to people or just sign profanities all day long?

only if they have tourettes and are deaf & mute, do they constantly flip the bird…
