Very carefully Yes I would have preferred Al Pacino.

D.B. Cooper...Two questions: 1) How the hell did you surive that jump? and 2) Did you ever spend all that ransom money?

lol I loved the lead in this blog Jeremy. Watching National Treasure reminded me of a very old quote from a very old actor named Robert Shaw - God rest his soul. He was starring in some 1977 piece of crap called The Deep, about treasure hunting, giant eels and Jacqueline Bisset's panty line. It was one of Nick Nolte's first starring roles in a film, and he was complaining to Shaw saying essentially, "Man, this film is a big piece of shit." Shaw drunkenly replied, "It's a treasure movie Nick. A fucking treasure movie. Loosen up!"

Boys, National Treasure was the biggest piece of shit I ever did see. It just made me wish I could watch Raiders of the Lost Ark again. That's the perverse beauty of this here Jerry Bruckheimer. He reminds you of about 30 better previous films, but there's a slight aftertase, sort of like pink Peeps. I have a stomach ache. Actually, if you can get past the fact that it's utterly predictable, not particularly exciting, wastes a ton of very good actors and has a story hook that was created during a brief power lunch - well hell, for those who just don't care, you might have a good time. When the end credits finally began to roll, I was gone in 60 seconds.

Great job Jeremy, thanks! Very descriptive. I think I would enjoy this a lot and I'm glad you mostly did.
