In the classic 1942 film Casablanca, Ilsa tries to explain to Rick what happened in Paris that fateful day. “Can I tell you a story, Rick?” she asks. “Does it got a wild finish?” he replies with a sneer. It certainly does, and so did my recent trip to Aspen, Colorado, where I spent three blissful nights at the newly-renovated St. Regis Aspen Resort.

Back in October, we told you about Michigan moviegoer and Certified Smart Person (TM) Sarah Deming, who sued distributor FilmDistrict over its acclaimed release Drive. Ms. Deming’s objection? That FilmDistrict “promoted the film Drive as very similar to the Fast and Furious, or similar, series of movies,” but actually, “Drive bore very little similarity to a chase, or race action film… having very little driving in the motion picture.” Yep, a moviegoer sued a distributor for not delivering on the promise of high quality she’s come to expect from Fast and Furious-style movies. And the Internet issued a collective face-palm.
