I saw a camp movie called 'Girls Will Be Girls' last night. Hysterical. Lots of great one liners. All male cast. Pretty funny stuff. Coco Peru is in it. She's a famous drag queen. Love her.

Evie: [to Varla] I'm sorry to hear your mother off'd herself.
Coco: Evie!
Evie: Oh, I'm sorry: 'Passed herself away'.

The best part of the dvd was the menus. They actually wrote a schtick for characters appearing w/ the dvd menu options. Hysterical stuff.

Heh, saw that tonight to after much urging from a coworker. Turned it on late and thought it looked like they were in Peru. Wow that place has cleaned up a lot since I was there - under martial law. Of course, no one heading into the bad parts of town. A little dissappointed that they didn't visit Manch Pichu or descend into the catacombs.

Made me think instantly of our guide "Ceasar" how he guided us quickly through the airports with bribes to all the right people while he slipped a few extra bags in the luggage. Room 211, Hotel Crillon - that man would have taken care of everything for us - for a slight fee.

I finally got a chance to see "Life is Beautiful" tonight. I've been wanting to see this film for such a long time and I wasn't disappointed. I didn't really know anything about the film when I watched it and I was surprised at the contrast between the first half and the second half. Roberto Benigni is a little over the top for my tastes and the plot wasn't without it's problems but it was still a moving film. I enjoyed it.

One more word about Brazil. As much as the Director's Cut is different from the theatrical version (and infinitely better), you MUST watch the TV version included in the set - which is also like watching a completely different film, this time infinitely worse.

Brazil is an amazing movie in its own right, and made even moreso by having 3 incredibly different versions through the magic or heinous art of editing. The commentary track for the TV version reveals one of the most pernicious stories in the disgusting annals of studio-controlled filmmaking (or, in this case, unmaking).

Been watching episodes of Sealab 2021 thanks to Netflix. Man do I love unabashed randomness.

I have been watching old home movies. Hours and hours of them. We are transferring them onto DVD.

It is sad. The kids have grown up so much and our parents are either gone, or have gotten in to pretty bad shape.

I like the kids to see a time when they hugged and kissed each other in the morning.
