My wife wants to go see it (with me).

I cannot support a movie that has any "bus violence" in it. I belong to PETB - People for the Ethical Treatment of Buses.

Anyone know if real buses were harmed during the filming of the movie?

I have standards and take pride in the fact that I have never heard a Maria Carey song (and would not know if she ever even had a hit).

My motto is "Keep them fed and entertained". That seems to keep my wife happy, so take her to dinner and then the movie.

Though a few people I know have all thought it was a excellent show.

That's what I have been told to. I plan to see it. . . . somewhere.

They paid me to go see it... And you know what? I'm buying it as soon as it comes out on DVD.

I saw it opening day and I thought it was pretty funny, it was a family movie for todays fucked up families. Formula as hell, yet more satisfying than the other movies that follow the formula. And there was no bus torture, just some semi-realistic bus-related muphy's-law-type event.

Well I saw it. It was OK. I gave it a 6.5 on a 10 point scale.

You're a boot-tough critic, Randy. You in Maine now?

Of course I am in Maine. You would all be here if you had a choice. More than a hint of fall in the air.

Those Quebec girls are starting to grow on me.

Not too hot, not too cold. Was going to paint house trim trim, but rain is in the forecast.

We had a wonderful trip out to Minnesota and went entirely around Lake Superior. Kayaked way too much. Had way too much fun. US customs confiscated my hot dog, eggs and oranges when I came through in Minnesota all in the name of national security.

Paul Taylor (Duncwarw) and his girls showed up last weekend here in their 73 bus and we all had a great time.

I am a tough sell at the movies. Important for me to get my $8.50 worth. No damage was done to that bus that would not buff out.

Good time to crawl under the bus and adjust the rear brakes, when it rains. . . and trickles into a lake right under your back.

Come on, Randy, duh!!!!! Hot dogs are red, mustard is yellow, eggs are yellow and oranges are orange, that is a damn worrisome alert level.

The famous welded undercarriage bus? On the road? Excellent.

That's an endorsement then.

I saw the bus in person at the screening. It was running fine and the sliding door was fine too.

I had to close my eyes for that scene. My wife whispered, "That will buff out." We have been together a long time.

Yeah, I think the sliding door scene was a set, not a real bus. There was no sign of the corner damage shown in the movie. We looked.

They have had it as a coming attraction on the tini-tiny theater up here for two weeks. They do show lots of artsy flics I like but this "Labor Day Week-end" town is packed with people/families and I was looking forward to driving Elwood down to watch it ( only two blocks away) he-he, but they are showing the 9-11 pic instead????? Not for me!

It was a stunt bus! Ha!, or maybe a stunt door.
