I watched it all, it did not bother me in the slightest, pretty lame overall- its just more of the usual "same ol’ ,same ol’ ".
But then again, I’m an [extremely] hardened cynic.

I needs my ennertanemunt!
P.S. You are obviously not drinking enough[:D] [ and more than likely, neither was I before watching it.]
