What Swanky Things are you Watching?

[Not Afraid]

I lovr "Wolf" as well. As a matter of fact, I adore it.

I also loved AiA. It's one of the few things I actually watched on TV in the last 10 years.

We found "Eternal Sunshine......" last night at Borders. Unfortunantely, they were having a "buy 3 get 1 free" sale. We had no intention of getting 4 DVDs but, when I found Quills for $7.99 then Before Sunrise for $12.99 so then we had 3 and had to buy a 4th. We picked up Napolean Dynamite as the last. I'm a bit sketchy about ND. Not sure if it is something I will appreciate, but CP has offered to buy it off of us for $50 if I don't like it.

Hahaha!!! I hope you like it!! Enjoy the smallness of the movie. The simplicity of it cracks me up. It's nothing deep....it's just funny. I appreciate that the writer/director and the star (from Salem, OR) all have done nothing before this movie. It's so refreshing.

I just watched Dodgeball: An Underdog Story. I laughed so hard through the whole thing! Jason Bateman was hysterical! In fact, everyone is!! And I also saw Boat Trip on Showtime and that was pretty funny too! I love Horatio Sanz and Cuba Gooding was great! And I finally saw Garden State. I thought that was really good!

Loved 'Quills'. Something about his dance on the table with his writings decorating his costume. Wonderful.

I also loved 'Napoleon'. Something about it...

Hey! This is what happens when I decide against reading this thread. Gotta read the rest and see what else people are saying about me...

That was 15 bucks, not 50, dearie

Lady Chatterley. BBC movie. If I didn't get positively lusty (even in front of my parents) every time Sean Bean - as my boyfriend Oliver Mellors - was on screen, I wouldn't have watched it. The crap score alone was enough to make me bat **** crazy.

Still, Sean Bean. I'm a Beanite. And I freakin' love the book.

But once again I'm forced to accept that I much prefer reading about sex than watching it. Especially in front of my parents. At one point my dad said - during a rather disappointing scene - "Wow, this was truly erotic in the book, but..."

"Yeah, yeah. I know," I said.

And at one point my mother said, "Does she not like it? She doesn't look like she's liking it." And though there are times in the book where that's the case, the time my mother was talking about in the movie wasn't one of them. I just much prefer knowing what's going on inside their heads than watching them. That book had so many lovely things to say about the things that happen to bodies when they come together: all the good, bad, amazing, boring, etc. things. Le sigh.

Ah, Sean Bean, you are a marvel.

I'm just loving that you watched that with your parental units! for you!

Kat and I watched The Village last night. I was proud she didn't get scared! Bailey chickened out...after The Exorcist , he won't watch scary movies. I thought it was ok...for sure not one of M. Night's best works...but after it was over, it made you think for a while and of course, filled you with a million questions.

I just came back from seeing 'Bad Education'. Wow. Can I just say I'd like to sleep with Pedro Almodovar? I'd also like to be Gael Garcia Bernal's underpants for one day.

This movie was great. Not what I was expecting. Good stuff. He always has the best characters in his movies.




And about 'Wolf' Ms. NA and , I couldn't deal with the huge sideburns on Jack. It seemed like they were saying that when the full moon came out, he turned into a Scotsman from the 70's. Ugh. I thought it was dull and laughed my way through it. Ah, to each his own, I guess. :shrug:

Yes, as long as you share. And okay, but not til after I am.

I wanted to see Bad Education. But I got outvoted (we were supposed to see Closer again, but it's only on one screen). Also.....Million Dollar Baby was sold out, so we ended up at In Good Company.

I want me a Dennis Quade-sicle or a Topher Pop right about now. They were sooooo good in this movie. I really loved it. :sigh: Twas a good evening.
