A movie version of how to eat fried worms???
and one of its genres is 'coming of age'
wtf??? the kid eats worms, ends up liking it, and therefore gets more popularity-power in fifth grade.

Pre-army training 
?
[There was a case over here a dew years ago of an officer ordering a (drafted) recruit to eat some raw earthworms as part of the survival training.
The recruit refused and both went to court. The officer was condemned for giving the order and the recruit for not following it (he should have complained after eating the worms according to the court).]

Huh? Y'all never read the book? Saw previews for this when I went to see Nacho Libre. The previews were very age-targeted, and it was weird remembering that mindset.

Can't remember ever to have heard of it.
My bringing up was probably not as "normal" (that is without the problems that plague(d) other schools).

oh, see, I didn't go see Nacho Libre. last movie I saw was Superman...
I heard about and saw this book at school a while ago, scholastic book fair and such, looked stupid. I think it was more like a recipie book than a story or something.... but I never actually read it.

Saw the trailer for that on Tuesday. That made it look like the usual off-the-mill summer comedy.
I am not going to wath the new "Superman" (saw, the trailer and read several reviews, "Christopher Reeves Memorial Movie" probably is the most apt description.).
I found the original 2 movies already quite embarassing (never seen 3&4).

I disagree 100%, and very vehemently. If you are a bona fide Superman fan, you will LOVE that movie.
Brandon Routh does do a very Reevesque Superman, but all it does is help to ease the transition between two different actors in one character.
Excluding the dedication at the end to Dana and Chris Reeve, the movie was not a Christopher Reeve Memorial - it was a Superman Resurrection.
My biggest beef was that I wasn't crazy about Kate Bosworth as Lois Lane, but the rest of the movie more than made up for it.
Also, if you haven't seen the first movie in a while, or you don't know it well enough to have it entirely memorized, I would recommend watching it right before going. The new one has a few homages to the first movie that are much more satisfying if you recognize them right away.

They put a few of them right into the trailer, I saw.
I most definitely am not a fan (and I consider myself an informed non-fan).
Chacun a son gout.

Ahh, if you're not a Superman fan, you won't like it. Don't go.
Unless you're only fan through accidental non-exposure. Then, you may be an undiscovered fan.

i think movies are just running out of ideas.........they were ok, but now every other movie is based off a comic book. There was that string of CGI movies of animals. A few remakes. The predictable romance/comedies that are exactly the same but for the names of people and things.
they are exceptions.....but they seem few and far between........

That was good.
Actually, my favorite part was who they got to play Kal-El. That STILL gives me mushy feelings when I think about it.

do you mean Jor-El? because Kal-El is Clark Kent/Superman... although theres some sources which say Kal-El was actually named Jor-El... but yeah, Kal-El is clark, Jor-El is his father.

HUGE OOPS! I blame my brain fry on physics.
Yes, I meant Jor-El, I just went retarded for a minute. I'm better now, promise.
