I forgot about The Wizard of Oz. I used to really really love it, and I suppose I do a bit, but I seriously overdid it some years ago and don't feel the need to see it again for another, oh 20 years or so.

Although I would love to read the books again. I wonder if they're still in my parents' attic?

Allegedly the hotel we'll be at tomorrow night has movies to rent. Perhaps I will have new thoughts after.

I really should watch that movie sometime when I'm not asleep.

The same goes for "O Brother Where Art Thou."

We watched The Crossing last night. While it was good, I felt unfulfilled by a movie only about crossing the Delaware to battle at Trenton. I would have liked a George Washington movie that was longer and broader historically. I love history movies, I'm going to have to seek out some others.

Going to take the kids to see Cars tomorrow. Rotten Tomatoes has it at 74% at present.

I read through some of the clips of reviews, and one reviewer who hated it was talking about how it failed to even improve upon the horrible Incredibles. WHAT????? I loved The Incredibles.

We're seeing Cars today. It will be the first movie that Indi will (hopefully) sit through. I hope it's good.

I've decided to give less credence to movie reviewers from now on. They blasted 'Da Vinci' and although it wasn't great, it wasn't that bad. I also felt they were off on 'X3' as well. Again, not perfect but not horrible either.
I'm going to see 'Cars' this weekend. :)

I'm going to see Cars tonight, and going to start a new thread about it (if someone hasn't already by then).

Otherwise, if we don't even discuss new releases there - - the Beatnik forum for entertainment discussion is going to end up devoid of all movie talk.




Oh, and for mousepod and Motorboat Cruiser ... and any other closet or out there fans of 1776 - - I hope you will (if you haven't already) check out the Director's Cut DVD released a couple years ago. It's like a totally different movie! The song "Cool Considerate Men" was removed from the theatrical release at the last minute, at the behest of none other than Richard Nixon. That number alone is worth the price of admission.

Feh, X3 was terrible.

Meh, I didn't think it was that bad.

Nothing happens for 90% of the movie, everything leads up to a single anticlimactic battle...a battle, mind you, where we learn that aparantly mutants are unable to use their mutant powers in a large fight as scores of mutants charged at Wolverine, aparantly planning to get in a fist fight with him only to get skewered. Lame.

And, "I'm the Juggernaut, bitch!"???? 'nuff said.
