It's awesome. Gordon is wearing some weird hearing aid, and Shelly's husband looks like he's on meth. It is total awesome. I would post the Youtube, But I can not.

Thank you Ms. Petra, that made my day! XO.
When I got home from work Sunday morning my husband made me stay up and watch a movie with him and stepson B. since he had bought 3 DVDs the night before (oddly, none of them porn)---Kick Ass, The Road, and Daybreakers. They had already watched Kick Ass and I was too tired to watch The Road, so I got a dose of vampires, yay. It was OK.
Has anyone seen The Road? I liked the book, but wonder about the film...
I have seen it, and it is pretty dark, until the very end. I enjoyed it.
Well, it'd have to be dark until the end. Have you read the book?
Granted that was a pretty stupid comment. It follows the book fairly closely, so if you enjoyed the book, I think you would enjoy the movie.
I thought the book was excellent, but 'enjoy' is not the word that would come to mind.
Well, true, SP.
I'll add it to the queue, Jim
So I just watched Wedding Daze...It was just like it sounds, silly, cheesy, cute. I can only handle fluff right now. The Road will have to wait until I feel better.

Loved Toby Stevens in Jane Eyre, I haven't seen the version of The Tennant of Wildfell Hall with him in. I must get it out. Toby Stevens is my idea of eye candy.
My favorite Jane Eyre is the one with Orson Wells as Rochester...brilliant!
I saw Brothers the other night. Wow, rough.
i watched Date Night last evening. very very funny
Date Night was amusing.

Thanks for the tip Larry. I watched it last night and it really was good.
Watched the Beer Wars documentary last night. Lots of stuff I knew, but quite a bit I didn't. It was a Sunday evening or I would have ended up at the liquor store at the end of the movie throwing money at all my favorite small breweries to keep them in business.
I watched Juno yesterday. Loved it! Very sweet, very engaging dialogue, and some seriously laugh-til-you-snort moments.

I saw a 1990 John Waters movie, "Cry Baby" with a young Johnny Depp. Pretty great.

The cast John Waters assembled for that one is a complete freak show, including Iggy. An entertaining freak show, but a freak show nonetheless.
Great soundtrack, though.

Still trying to place Hatchet Face. Who IS that? And didn't Florence Henderson have a cameo? And Patty Hearst!! What a guy. I need to find that soundtrack, it was really good.

You can get it for $1.50 from Amazon. Rachel Sweet's on it.

Finally got my Earthsea dvd in the mail this weekend, so I sat down and watched it yesterday. It's a movie based on the Earthsea Trilogy by Ursula Le Guin. I don't know how long the movie actually was, but it felt like about 5 hrs. Danny Glover played Ogeon...it was crap.
Youndyc wrote: "I watched Juno yesterday. Loved it! Very sweet, very engaging dialogue, and some seriously laugh-til-you-snort moments."I love Juno - great choice! I could watch it again and again.
Cry Baby was one of those movies that I watched a bajillion times when I was a teen.I can't watch it now for some reason.
I definitely think I could watch Juno a couple more times. I'm not one to repeat movies, so this is high praise.
I loved Cry Baby when it came out. I love John Waters. That is all.
Juno is lovely. Ellen Paige = 2 thumbs up.
I love Ellen Paige, was annoyed by Juno, and found MULTIPLE MANIACS by John Waters to be a deeply spiritual experience.
I liked Whip It better than Juno.
Conned my son into watching this with me the other night on Showtime. It wasn't as good as I remember it.
Ralph Macchio gives up martial arts in favor of blues guitar, wandering around the South with some old black guy with a case of the ass in search of Robert Johnson's mythical "lost song." It all leads up to a metal guitar-shred battle between Macchio (representing all that is good) and real-life guitar god Steve Vai (who's supposed to be the Devil or something).
You don't need me to tell you who wins. Vai was robbed.
Just watched a lame one called Session 9. Don't bother, it was total crap and everybody dies...I mean EVERYBODY. Even the poor dude who shows up in the last scene. Pfft.
Okay, I get it. Lame. Crappy ending. The fire alarm would have gone off...
all the talk about Jon Stewart in another thread got me thinking of the documentary WORDPLAY about the underworld of the NY TIMES Crossword puzzle. If you haven't seen it, pick it up!
Several people recommend The Hangover. The Netflix disc sat on my entertainment ctr. for about 3 months. I finally watched it night before last. I have to admit I laughed out loud a couple of times based on the dentist. Otherwise it was complete CRAP.
Watched Peacock this morning with Ellen Page. Another steaming pile of poo. I jumped forward a couple of times, because I was so bored.
MY KINGDOM FOR A GOOD FILM!

I watched Forbidden Planet a few nights ago, which is supposed to be The Tempest, but isn't really. It's all about how evil our ids would be if they could manifest with infinite power at their disposal.
Must control our ids!

hehehe
Blockbuster finally went bankrupt...but this article says small video stores are doing ok, which surprises mehttp://www.csmonitor.com/Business/Lat...
I can't remember the last time I went to Blockbuster. The movie rental experience at Blockbuster sucked.
watched robin hood last night. new one. russell crowe. pretty good. not your dad's robin hood though
Nope, not so much derring do, as grim battle in that one, Kevin.
I can say, for certain, that I heard Jackie use the phrase "derring do" twice on Friday. Anyone else use that phrase twice in one day?
