Dumb and Dumber still makes me soil myself with giggliness.

I didn't see the first one, and I only saw the last half hour of the sequel last night, and, granted, I was drunk, though I'm not sure which way that cuts, but . . . I thought High School Musical 2 was, oh, subpar.

Zac, Zac, Zac, what were you thinking?

MouseWife · 08-18-2007, 08:02 PM

What is this about High Schol Musical 2? And last night? My sis made a big deal out of it {granted, we were 'talking' via emails} and they saw it last night. And now you. LOL {Okay, that isn't the whole world but....} I'm just curious.

I watched a movie that a friend loaned to me. Either 'The Tenant' or 'Tenant'. Roman Polanski? It was an interesting psychological thriller.

Anyone see this? An older movie. I was discussing it with the person who loaned it to me and there are no real answers....interesting....

I think the only logical way to view this 'movie' is on acid. Or shrooms. Drunk is not enough, unless you're talking 'Barfly' drunk.

Yeah, the Kid made us watch it last night. I was sober, unfortunately.

HSM 2 is getting practically the best reviews of any movie this year. I almost want to see it for myself.

Zac was pretty good in Hairspray, though I don't get what all the teen-tizzyhood is about. But, um, he's totally, like, hot in a spread in Rolling Stone this month.

I had to look this one up on IMDB. I don't believe I have seen it. While perusing IMBD, I learned that this film - along with Repulsion and Rosemary's baby - is meant to be loose trilogy about the horrors faced by apartment/city dwellers. I never knew that.

Those 3 films would make one great movie night!

Ooo! You are so computer efficient!! I didn't think of that. I haven't seen 'Repulsion' but you mention 'Rosemary's Baby' and yikes, yes, I do see the connection of the horrors faced by apartment/city dwellers. I didn't know that. I thought Rosemary's Baby was purely about Satan worship.

It is pretty good. And, so ironic that you respond because the woman in the movie {um, the redhead, and that's all I will say....and not anything about the theater scene, either....} in the movie reminds me of you. I told the guy who loaned it to me and he said 'Introduce me!!'

{thanks for posting about that, btw, I was constantly thinking about the apartment situation as well as the city dwellers....interesting that this was the objective of the director/writer}

The Zac Rolling Stone thing. 2 young girls came through my line. He was on the cover of their bopper magazine. I said 'Oh, is this the guy from the Rolling Stone magazine?' and I didn't realize right off that they weren't kidding when they said 'Oh, sorry, that was shocking, wasn't it?' and I said 'Yeah!! It was ah, a, ah, yeah, I was surprised to see him like that' and they were like 'Yeah, sort of gross'. LOL I realized they were too young to get it. I changed my tune when I did so.

I can't believe you haven't seen The Tenant. It's a heckuvalot better than Pirates...

innerSpaceman · 08-19-2007, 07:21 AM

I love Pirates. One of his best, though I can clearly see why some don't get it.

Teenyboppers grossed out by Zac Efron's hotness?! HaHaHaHaHaHa!!

flippyshark · 08-19-2007, 09:58 AM

I'll have to give Pirates another shot someday, if I can find it. I just adore The Fearless Vampire Killers (aka Dance of the Vampires), and all three of the apartment horrors listed above. And when in the heck will his bloody and disturbing movie of The Scottish Play get a decent release? (I have a crappy old pan n' scan from 20 years ago.)
