Remember,

if you value your movie watching experience, dear god do not read a Time magazine review of the film beforehand!! It can lead only to surprise spoilers and misery. 1940s cinema-goers ready to paint the town red during that trying era, on their way out the door to the moving pictures show, probably glanced in their mailboxes only to be greeted with the blaring headline "Rosebud was his sled!". As the saying goes, Time waits for no Man (to first watch a movie before ruining key parts).

Cereal Review: Quaker's Chocolatey Peanut Butter Crunch
To say I was disappointed would be inaccurate as I've experienced previous failed Cap'n Crunch attempts at chocolate (Choco-Crunch) so I knew what to expect. Plus regular Cap'n Crunch contributed to my "Great Vomit Incident of '85". Still, I love Peanut Butter Crunch and, well, one never knows for sure. Alas, this product rates but a "met expectations". If you truly are hankering for a chocolate/peanut butter cereal kapow, opt for General Mills' Reese's Puffs.

Dear Sir,

I hate that. There's nothing worse than somebody who spoils a movie.

Good thing I didn't try that cereal. I love peanut butter, and the dream of fusing peanut butter and cereal has only been well achieved in Peanut Butter Crunch. Reese's Puffs is pretty good, but I prefer pure peanut butter, no chocolate.

That's pretty thoughtless isn't it, giving it away in a review. Maybe the journalist assumes people only read his review to see whether they agree with him.

I think it's rude to spoil a movie for others, and it's one of the reasons that I don't usually read movie reviews. The other reason is that they usually are the opposite of what I thought (after I've seen it) the movie was!

Peanut Butter cups are some of the very best candy. I'm not sure they would work well as a cereal.

Peanut Butter Crunch is the greatest cereal on all of planet earth. Moment of silence please.
But which soy milk tastes best with it? Ah, there's the rub.

Movie reviews with spoilers never bother me. By the time the movie gets to television I don't remember what the spoiler was anyways..

I haven't been to theater in so long I don't worry about reviews. With the average cost of a movie outing hitting the 50.00 mark I find it easier to buy the previously viewed DVD for 18.00 and then if I like it keep it. Movie review are a good indicator of what I will watch though - if they like it I'll avoid it.

Now I'm hungry for cereal.

Don't like PB so 'those' cereals aren't on my good to go list. One way I judge cereal is if it can be eaten straight from the box (naked) and I like it...it's grrrreeaaatttt! Believe it or not...some cereals are best eaten plain with no milk. An example of that would be 'Cinnamon Toast Crunch'...lovely as a dry snack. Although growing up I didn't eat Frosted Flakes...I now have a rather troublesome addiction to it. Who knew?

you know, i work with a girl who loves chocolate, and loves peanut butter but thinks the combination of the two is an atrocity wrought upon the world by old gods of hate and war.

she is kind of hot though.

I only read reviews of movies I know I'm never going to watch. Besides, I always end up disagreeing with the critics anyways. Especially with movies they like!

I like peanut butter...with jelly. I like chocolate by itself. I don't think the two mixed together taste good at all. (but alas, I am not the hot girl mentioned above.)

I always loved the Simpson's scene, where Homer comes out of the theatre saying, "I can't believe Darth Vader is Luke Skywalker's father as he passes the line waiting to get in.

Choco-Crunch? Eh. Every cereal serves a purpose. If I need a chocolate fix, it's Cocoa Pebbles or Krispies. I leave the Cap'n the sole domain of palate shredding.

Here's my issue with all Cap'n Crunches: I'm completely torn between how good they taste and how they tear up the roof of my mouth.

So I'd rather just have the berries and let them soak in the milk for 1/2 hour until they're mushy deliciousness.
