2. That is a difficult question to answer
Rachel Weisz is sorely missed in this movie. Sadly no chemistry at all between Brendan Fraser and Maria Bello.

But I like the whole cheesy action-flick scene (yeah, I liked the latest Indiana Jones movie too) so I still enjoyed parts of it. (Of course my favorite lines in the flick are when Rick & Jonathan are on the back of a fireworks truck and Jonathan's pants catch on fire - he starts yelling 'My ass is on fire...put out my ass...cover my ass...spank it spank it!!'). Hmmm If that's the best maybe the movie wasn't so good.

If you liked one and two, you'll tolerate three ... even if it's just to see Brendan Fraser for an hour or so on the big screen (who may or may not have been asleep during most of the movie....eh)

13. I'd probably be willing to pay just to see Brendan Fraser scrub a toilet...

...especially if he takes his shirt off to do it. I have always thought he's just too adorable for words.

I kinda liked the two previous Mummy flicks and we'd been waiting for this one to come out. It isn't high art it is just for fun--ya know?

Glad to hear you liked it.

14. That is exactly right!
Although Blast from the Past and School Ties are my favorites of his.

3. Is it appropriate for teens?
My 17-year-old loves that sort of thing but has autism. Is there too much gore or anything a kid might try at home? Sex? Anything really gross that sticks in your mind?

5. Perfect for teens
no sex - goofy violence - and only a few swear words. the melting/burning/spewing mummies are kinda gross but no worse than any other of the mummy movies.

8. Solid helium requires a temperature of 1–1.5 K + about 26 standard atmospheres (2.6 MPa) of pressure

9. So, if I understand this correctly, you're saying
there is a lump of very cold metallic Helium in Dick Cheney's chest?

Seems all the criteria are present.

18. Not metallic in the traditional chemistry sense...
but yes. Dick Cheney's chest is a potential containment vessel for solidified helium.

15. Why what?
Why did I go see the movie? Brendan Fraser

Why ask me anything? I need attention.
