Ocean's 12....they only give plots to the odd-numbered ones, it seems

Ferlotta and I took our good friend Mary Sleazy out to see Ocean's 12 last night, and really, that's all there is to it. You look at the movie, you laugh a bit, and then you go home. The writers were guilty of throwing together a story that is unengaging, though mildly amusing, and they throw the whole plot thingy together in the final minutes, avoiding any of those pesky things like foreshadowing, suspense, etc. This movie is a moderately amusing, thought-suppressing, bit of fluff, and nothing more. Wait 30 years, and watch this one on late-night TV, unless you are verrrry bored, or easily amused. Of course, people ARE stupid, so this movie may well be a hit.
