Maybe we can get a group discount? I sat on the couch last night absolutely mesmorized by Robert's nose. How did I not notice it in previous episodes? It is amazing. I lust after him. And his nose.

Sigh.

Why am I commenting. I watch between 15 and 45 minutes of a show then I want to know who Robert is and start asking lots of annoying questions! I only turned it on because Banana Republic told me too.

Last night, I FINALLY got to see "Ed Wood". I had wanted to see this for such a long time and was not disappointed. Martin Landau was just amazing and Johnny Depp was, well, as good as he always is. I particularly liked the scene between Ed and Orson Welles. One a genius, the other a failure, but both with a lot in common. Great movie.

We also rented the Johnny Carson Collection on DVD from Netflix. It was very funny but the biggest surprise was in the special features on the 2nd disc. There was a one hour, made-for-tv special called "Johnny Carson goes home" that showed Carson returning to his home town and visiting the house he grew up in, school he went to, etc... It offered a glimpse into where he came from and showed a side of him that I had never seen before. It was quite touching.

I'm watching grass grow. (Does that count?)

Last night we watched Adaptation and then Platoon.

We kept cracking up during Platoon, saying inappropriate things like, "Uh oh, another voiceover" or "Here we go. A bonding scene with singing and dancing....what a crappy script."

Perhaps we shouldn't have watched Adaptation first.

I don't think Platoon belongs on AFI's Top 100 Movies List. It's a movie I've seen a dozen times and I don't think the acting, writing, story, or photography are over-whelmingly wonderful enough to make the cut. Don't get me wrong, I love the movie....there are lots of cut guys (not cute, cut, as in those biceps are CUT) and it's an okay war movie, but there are better.

Adaptation is still funny as hell. "That's how much fvck fish." I love the LaRoche character sooo much. Then I realized that holy crap, he reminds me of my step-dad. "I'm the smartest person I know!"

Tonight.....we'll most likely watch Schindlers List (keep saying we will, but the motivation's not there), The Graduate, or Dial M for Murder. We've strayed from the AFI list, because my husband is currently loving Hitchcock movies.....and then Euro mentioned High Society, so my husband made me rent it.....so we might watch High Society. So much for AFI.

Best In Show - I forgot how much I liked the movie. Especially after watching The Westminster Kennel Club Dog Show. What a hoot!

The Others - I finally watched the darn thing. Good movie! My husband has seen it before, but he kept quiet. Nicole Kidman looks so gorgeous in it.

Pieces of April - What a pleasant surprise. I really liked it a lot. Very bittersweet, I now feel purged.

I was just going to post that I know I watched this just a couple weeks ago, and that for the life of me, I couldn't remember a darn thing about it except that there was a lengthy overture. However, I just remembered it.

Good flick (terrible sound/picture sync).

I'm watching Mommie Dearest for the hundredth time. I just bought May but I haven't opened it yet and the doll creeps me out too much to watch it at night.

MerryPrankster · 02-20-2005, 10:16 AM

I almost forgot Vanity Fair and The Stepford Wifes, which I watched a few days ago.

VF - Very nice. Beautiful sets and scenery.

TSW - Ick. I fell asleep and didn't bother to go back to see the parts I missed.

Last night:

Garden State - I liked it, but my husband really liked it. He watched it twice and got teary eyed at the end.

Legally Blonde - Fun fluff. Luke Wilson is so hot, hot, hot!

MerryPrankster, I loved 'Pieces of April'. Purged? Hmm. It was sort of theraputic....

'Garden State' might also be in that same sort of catagory, with the situation and all.
