What Swanky Things are you Watching? - Page 22

Ghoulish Delight · 02-22-2005, 09:42 AM

NOT swanky = Coffee and Cigarettes. OMG, horrible. This is a series of short vignettes, shot in black and white over something like 10+ years, chock full of medium to big name stars. All the vignettes are somehow related to coffee and cigarettes. And all of them are boring beyond belief. Just entirely uninteresting. Both CP and I fell asleep 30 minutes in, and we do NOT fall asleep during movies, even bad ones. This was one of those films that thought it was incredibly clever and arty, and really was just pretentious and dull. Avoid it!

Unfortunately, I did stay awake. You made the right decision to sleep.

I never, ever fall asleep during movies. Coffee and Cigarettes was one of the most boring things I've ever seen. They practically made the same short film over and over again - people sitting around, one saying how coffee and cigarettes were bad for you, and another person indulging in such. Booooooring.

Not every Netflix click is a winner. Blech.

We just picked up the first season of the L-Word. I had only seen two episodes, and that with a very distracting crowd, so it was nice to watch them at home and be able to actually watch it. Jennifer Beals is *so* hot. We got the first two discs, which is 8 episodes. Well, 7, as the opening is two episodes long. We got a Netflix type membership at Blockbuster, so we have been watching a lot of movies lately; hubby and his (now ex) gf have been watching them, I have been gone a lot. Both of them are movie nuts, and I'm more lukewarm.

Immortal Beloved
Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban
Everwood (still my love of Bright, the twinkling stary of happy boy love, does not diminish).

Tonight? Nada. I'll probably read and clean house. Tomorrow: LOST!

Hehe, last night me and Zapp watched an oldie (but, imo, a goodie), The Road Warrior. I made him watch it because I struck up an acquaintance with Virginia Hey over the weekend. She has a minor, yet attention-getting, role in that movie - but is better known for her role as Zan on Farscape. I had so much fun with her on Saturday and Sunday that I could not resist re-watching the only film in my DVD collection that she's in.

Tonight: Must make a dent in the pile of Netflix films; this will be my only night home this week!

Tell me about it.
I rented 'The Notebook'. I was suckered in by the trailer. I hadn't read the book. I'm thrity minutes in and my eyes are tired of rolling. No one can act in this movie. The direction is horrible. Even Joan Allen is less than stellar.
Bleh.

Netflix'ed "CHicago" - the movie not the band!

The movie, in a word - SUCKED!

Opening song was good. The "Puppet" scene was good, but the rest was trash!

IMHO!

You're breaking my heart.

I'm obsessed with both the movie and the book. The book is quite different, but just as wonderful.

It's a wonderful read- I highly recommend it!

Offtopic: Okay since you and I are on the same shows I have to ask a question about Carnivale, is it just me or is Ben looking really hot this season? I didn't think much about him before but this season he seems just so... hot. Am I crazy?? :topic on!

I have to admit I like the messed up dynamic between Sawyer and Kate better than the cheesyness that is Kate and Jack. And I am glad that you agree with my premium cable theory!!! (lots o nudity.....)

I am telling you Wednesdays are good... Lost, the Project Runway finale. Sweet.
