I so didn't get it about Clerks.

So much so that ... despite how everyone continues to rave about it ... I have zero desire to give it another chance.

Yeah, Clerks was ok, but not much more. I prefer Dogma over Clerks.

I just watched The Iron Giant. It was pretty cute.

Introducing the 12 year old to "Back to the Future" right now.

With that avatar next to that post, it seems as if you don't like Back to the Future very much.

The first time I saw my new avatar next to a post, it was when I was agreeing with ISM. Seemed fitting.

Yes, Leo. Your avatar tends to lend a sad not to every single post.

We watched The Name of the Rose last night. We had a decent-sized TV at our disposal and thought that film would look "pretty". It looked pretty good, but it's wasn't "pretty". God, those Medieval people were dirty! I sure appreciate my shower.

It has been a while since I last saw this film and enjoyed it once again. Sean Connery is yummy and whatever happened to Christian Slater? Good period piece in a period I don't seem to see protrayed in many movies.

The young monk/crazy girl sex in the book is one of the most deliciously lusty passages I've ever read. It's not quite as yummy in the film, but it'll do.

Spent Hitch's birthday weekend watching The Man Who Knew Too Much, a half-dozen episodes of Alfred Hitchcock Presents and The Wrong Man. I was hoping to be up to Vertigo and North By Northwest for Sunday, but life got in the way... I'll be celebrating the week after his birthday with those.
I was particularly surprised by The Wrong Man. I'd never seen it before, and my initial thought was that it was a misstep. Based on a true story, it tells of a musician (played by Henry Fonda), who is wrongly accused of being a holdup man, and the tribulations that his family goes through as he is subjected to a Kafka-esque arrest and trial process. That night, I had many nightmares triggered by the movie, so I guess it wasn't such a misstep after all...

I like 'Clerks' because of how irreverent it is. The montage of the clueless customers is great. Anyone who works in a customer service job could relate. And the fact that he shot this film after work was kinda cool.

I didn't get to watch 'The Third Man' like I wanted to. I spent the whole weekend working on a project for my friend Roddy, cleaning house and shopping. While doing these things I had the DVDs of 'Stage Door' and then 'Fight Club' playing in the background.
