B and I LOVE that movie! The songs aren't that bad... they're catchy!

I went to see Millions today. What a cute movie. There's something really sweet and innocent about it. The story... absurd in reality, but somehow I came out beleiving it. Worth my drive up to Sacramento.

I also went to see A Wake in Providence. Umm.... ... let's assume I fell asleep about halfway through for about 30 minutes, woke up, and STILL found the movie drab and boring. I didn't miss much because I could guess what happened.

Mr. Romance is a funny teevee show. I particularly like the parts where Fabio dubs in the "other half" of contestants' phone calls home. My brain is a pile of civpro jelly and I was just cracking up.

Deadwood. Probably the best television show I've ever seen.

Arrested Development, Season 1. Been watching this with my parents. I love it. Certainly one of the best half-hour comedies I've ever seen. My goodness, but I adore the Bluth family. Or, rather, I love Michael. Who knew Mr Bateman would grow up to be so effin' handsome? I certainly would not have guessed it from watching Teen Wolf II. And the actors who play his brothers? Perfection. My God, perfection!!!! Wish they hand't changed the actress who plays Marta, however. I liked the first one better.

Ella Enchanted with the boys, which was cute
And I have Sideways for me to watch, if I can get rid of this stupid allergy headache!

Claire I will have to rent Outsiders tomorrow, you've whet my appetite for it!

"We've got to find this 'Hermano,' brother."

I looooove AD. Best comedy ever.

I had a crush on Derek (not Ricky!) when I watched Silver Spoons (okay, I crushed on Ricky's dad too) and when I was 12 I had elaborate fantasies about meeting Jason on the set of Valerie and having his love children, (while somehow remaining a virgin). I've always had a thing for plain looking guys with good hair and freckles. I've always loved his nose. It's so skin cancery or something. I adore his nose.

This week....watched State & Main. Still one of my favorite flipping movies of all time. "Sooo....that happened." I'm half-assedly watching Please Don't Eat the Daisies. God, I love David Niven.

Diabolik (Thank you MousePod) - What an awsomely swanky film. Couple of swanky hipster master criminals complete with underground lair, giant rotating lazy susan sofa bed, and his and her matching Jaguars. The art direction on this alone is priceless. This definately would go well in a triple feature with Barbarella and CQ. It boggles the mind why this isn't out on DVD yet.

Zorro the Gay Blade.

What a great movie! And a swell way to continue to avoid my last legal memo of the semester.

I have to catch up a bit:

The other night we saw Quills again- can I just say as good an evil pirate Geoffrey Rush was, he makes an awsome Marquis De Sade. The dialogue on this film is delightfully naughty and I love it's transitions from playfulness to the grusome - somewhat like the writings of the Marquis himself. Incidentaly this was a great follow-up to Pillow book.

Tonight we saw Tokyo Drifter, a classic 1966 Japanese gangster pic. Style wise this one definately was swanky - hip tokyo bars and settings. The jazzy soundtrack also was a pleasure. However, I found the film a bit hard to follow - not sure if that's my Western Sensibilities getting in the way. This, of course was a good follow-up from Diabolik.

Chris forgot to mention just how HOT Joaquin Phoenix was in Quills.
