So here’s another Scary-Crayon first — an audio review of Flightplan. I hope you’ve got some spare time on your hands, because I actually ramble on off the top of my had about how much I despised this movie for almost a half hour (in two separate mp3s), complete with digressions, comparisons to other movies, a whole heaping lot of commentary, and all kinds of other good stuff. Of course, I don’t expect too many people to actually listen to the whole thing, so the page also features a two paragraph review of the film that pretty much summarizes my thoughts on the film, minus the detail, rambling, and rampant cursing of the unabridged audio version. Oh, and if you happen to read this before you listen to the files (assuming you listen), try counting and comparing the number of times I say the word “terrible” to the number of times I use some form of “fuck”. I think “terrible” wins, unless that wholesale cursing at the end of the first file puts “fuck” over the top.

Speaking of cursing, reader James Davis recently sent in the following:

Hey Odo,
My nine year old daughter found your site and I don’t much care for the “F” word hanging out there for all to see – especially her. Clean up your act.

First of all, James, thanks for writing in! Secondly, when you refer to me as “Odo”, do you mean the Star Trek character, Odo of Bayeux, Odo of Cluny, Pope Martin V, or some other Odo — and what is your rationale for doing so? Thirdly, I’m glad that you’re being a responsible parent and monitoring what your daughter’s viewing online. Rather than attempting to censor me, you should continue to do that. So fourthly, in response to your directive to “clean up my act,” fuck off. 🙂

Anyway, see y’all next time — which may be fairly soon!
