Next week, apparantly.

So,last night I watched a couple of episode from Season 2 of Gilmore Girls on DVD. Good writing, good show. I'll bounce between my GG and Buffy DVDs for a while now

Aw, that sucks! I understand that here, where it is available, it is hard to get a hold of.

I understand the 'Gilmore Girls' is a pretty good show.

Hey, did anyone know 'Goodtimes' is available on dvd? Does anyone have it and is it any good?

Seen it all before, babe. Not so very long ago either. As the old joke goes, I liked The Incredibles back when it was called, Spy Kids.

Finished Last Tango in Paris last night. I enjoyed in better in its second viewing, but I’m not sure this one stands up. It’s still great to see in its historic perspective. It’s easy to see how its raw depiction of obsessive sexuality was groundbreaking for its time. I think the two anal scenes still would challenge a contemporary audience.

Still what’s really interesting about this film is to see in the context of Bertolucci’s other works. He seems to have a love of American expats discovering their sexuality. Interestingly, as he has gotten older, his focus has been more on first loves with the likes of Stealing Beauty and the Dreamers. Now I just want to see Sheltering Sky again.

I don't remember it getting very good reviews, but my favorite Bertolucci is Besieged. I think it's amazing. Thewlis and Newton are just breathtaking.

I admit to not caring for Stealing Beauty or The Dreamers. I think with The Dreamers and Sheltering Sky I should probably read the books, as I like the stories, but maybe had problems with the films' execution.

Hmmm haven't seen Besieged. Sheltering Sky is a favorite though, we own it, have seen it a couple times, love the visuals, love the wasted decadence of the characters. It made me read the book, which I surprisingly found so much darker.

I Loved the Dreamers, but I have a thing for Paris 1968.

Re: Napoleon Dynamite, I'm starting to think the reason why I love it so much is that I was a TOTAL dork in Jr High/early high school and KNEW dorks like the weirdos in this movie. A lot about it gives me flashbacks that hit me with hysterical giggles.

And the rest of it is just damn hysterical anyway. C'mon, Napoleon's loser brother finding babes on the internet? The uncle that can't get over the past? The time machine bought online? The dance? Vote for Pedro? The wig? The tupperware? Napoleon's drawings? How can you people not find this stuff funny?

Last night I watched Sawyer.

Or, rather, I watched LOST which had a deshirted Sawyer.

I think I'm in love with a man's back. Especially that part where his back transitions into his upper buttocks. I don't normally give two figs about a man's figure, but this guy just about sells me on the lean muscled tall body type.

Mmm, Sawyer.

Mmm, Drew Goddard, who wrote last night's episode. He was one of the best writers writing for Buffy the Vampire Slayer. Love that guy.

I ended up staying up till three to watch "The Audition".

Ummmmmm.... interesting is how I would describe it. Can't say it was great but not really sure it was worth staying up till 3 a.m. for.......

OHhh... Lost... I LOVE that show. I almost wish it was premium cable so it could be even MORE entertaining...

And my other guilty pleasure is Project Runway. I think I need therapy....

Me, too. Then I could have a pantless AND a shirtless Sawyer.
