I guess it would be pretty bad to watch a movie in the state of sleep.

content: Quote from: AndyC_772 on February 05, 2014, 09:50:30 pmPerhaps you are not aware, "Lone Star State" is the nick name or state slogan for Texas. Every state has one and most print it on their car license plates. If you are from Missouri, I would show you. (Missouri is the "show me" state).So, the text on the original post and "movie" is kind of disjointed. In the USA where movies are rated by how many stars, and many USA folks would be away of state nick names, they may make the connection.Of course, we all make fun of those nick names: For example, Minnesota is the "Land of 10,000 Lakes (... and one fish)".

content: Quote from: Rick Law on February 06, 2014, 03:55:35 amI think it's just as much marks out of ten, from 1/10 (bad) to 10/10 (good). Maybe it just depends on which reviews you read...
