Movie Questions

[redneckgaijin]

Monday I have jury duty. Yay.

Now, I would like to actually serve on a jury, although my attitude in general pretty much guarantees I'll never be on (see, I'm a thinker, and lawyers hate those). Odds are, though, that I'll be out of the courthouse in enough time to catch the 1 PM showing of Journey to the Center of the Earth. Anyone seen it, and what do you think?

Also, listed on the "Coming Soon" sign is Tropic Thunder, the Ben Stiller movie that people keep complaining about for the use of the word "retard." (Never mind that, in the clips I've seen, the whole point is that the people who use the word are clearly not people to be emulated.) Any thoughts on that one, either?

Last tune I was called up was for domestic disturbance and violation of restraining order. Both prosecutor and defense essentially tried the case in jury selection. I brought up the point that sometimes laws weren't always fair as part of this, and I figure that was enough to get me eliminated.
