You'd have loved the bus ride I took with a load of 6th graders last year....on the way up we watched it more than once. On the way home, almost twice. Thank God I had a cd player and headphones and fall asleep easy and can't see without my glasses on.

But, what you really would have loved was how the kids got in to it. On the way home, one kid was getting up and doing the dance perfectly. I couldn't help but wonder how many times he'd seen the movie. But, it got the bus cheering and a couple of other kids got up and danced, too. That led the kids in to playing other games and so that was fun. But the movie, almost 3 times???? I am glad my son doesn't like it.

And did you mean 'Monster House'? I haven't heard of 'Monster Hose' but if it made you horny, I can imagine it isn't in the front aisles of Blockbuster?

Today was movie day for me. Wedding Crashers was good, too. It was funny. I laughed. Something about Owen Wilson cracks me up. He's hysterical. I've loved him ever since Bottle Rocket.

Something about Owen Wilson makes me want to throw up.. Or shove icepicks into my ears. Yup, it's his voice that annoys me.

Something about Owen Wilson gets me all melty.

Not a movie per-se, but we just watched an "interview" with John Cleese. Some PBS production from a couple years ago where Cleese is introduced as "the reclusive 96 year old," and they purport to show his favorite sketches. They show some good rarely shown bits, and the new filler material with Cleese is great. He may be a total sellout at times, but he's still got it every once in a while.

^ Lest we forget, now that he's in his twilight years, that John Cleese is the funniest man ever to be born on Earth.

Just saw Pan's Labyrinth for the third time, this time with the rents. Every bit as wonderful as it was the first two times I saw it. And they loved it, too. Made me happy.

Came home and decided to watch the parts of Match Point I missed, and it didn't make me like the last 40 minutes any more. Guess it's just not a pic for me.

The longest movie is "The Cure for Insomnia," directed by John Henry Timmis IV in 1987. Running 85 hours in length, the film follows no plot. Instead, it consists of L.D. Groban reading his poetry over the course of four days inter-spliced with occasional clips from heavy metal and X-rated videos.

Hmm... got that from a bluff game. Weird.

We went to see The Queen today - about time! Helen Mirin was gret and I just love Stephen Frears' style of film making. I found it very odd to see a film about subjects who are still alive and dealing with a period of time that is so recent. I kept wondering of the Royal Family had seen it. And, boy that Prince Phillip is a dick (at least he was protrayed as one.)

We also got to see Music and Lyrics. There was a talker aand general mouth-noise maker in the theater for the first, intended, showing of The Queen and he would NOT shut up (and he was asked to). I was getting ready to walk out anyways when Chris got a page from work, so we left the theater so he could call while I complained. I didn't get much response from the theater people so I just took our own initiatinve and walked into another theater. Music and Lyrics was just starting and ended just as the Queen was starting again, so we got to see both.

Music and Lyrics was charming. Hugh Grant is charming, hot, woderful, hot - well, you get the idea. It was a nice, fun film and the opening and closing credits are great fun. It wasn't as predectable as I thought it would be - which was my biggest fear. I even laughed out loud at a few of the 80's jokes. Hugh is a master of the self depricating humor. I could watch him all day long.
