I usually watch movies with subtitles on, just so I don't miss dialog and then want to go back to see what people said.

Gemini Cricket, get the cow dung out of your ears. I had no problem understanding every word of that movie.

Fun movie, too. Christian Bale and Russell Crowe were great. Only Crowe I've been able to stomach (after eating) for years.

Last night I watched Oscar-nominee Ellen Page's (Juno) earlier film, Hard Candy.

Don't make the same mistake.

Thats difficult little flick to get through. What made you decide to put that movie in the player?

Gemini Cricket · 02-21-2008, 05:03 PM

Lots of mumbling, struggling actors here and there tryin' to maintain some sort of accent... It ain't my ears, mister. (GC spits some tobacco juice into a nearby spittoon.) The tv's as loud as can be, I reckon.

I'm watching 3:10 tonight... I'll let you know what I think.

Oh, all through Juno, my date kept wondering what she had seen Ellen Page in. Finally, an hour or so after the movie, she remembered Hard Candy. I asked if I should see it.

She said 'yes' - but advised me I would find it disturbing.

Ahem ...

I'm havin' a parcel o' troubles myself with that crazy western Lonesome Dove. Damn those hollywood cowboy types and their hifalutin' accent huntin'

(Cowboys ain't usually my thing anyway ... but how can I resist Robert Duval and Tommy Lee Jones hamming it up? Halfway thru and likin' it so far.)

3:10 to Yuma is too distracting to watch. I want all of these cowboys to bed me and while I think of that, I can't concentrate on the story. Oh and have I mentioned that I'm going to marry Alan Tudyk?

Lonesome Dove is wonderful.

I stumbled on that movie late one night on the movie channel. It was a movie I wished I hadn't watched. I couldn't even tell Gary about it, didn't want to freak him out or give him the heebie jeebies.

I didn't realize it was the same girl though, thanks!

Well, I liked 3:10 to Yuma. It's a solid movie.

Didn't want the boy to turn to the darkside, Ben's not all bad and he was just going to break out of Yuma anyway... Wife and family gets the money, they lose a one-legged dad.
