What Swanky Things are you Watching? - Page 39

Deadwood. Probably the best television show I've ever seen.

Arrested Development, Season 1. Been watching this with my parents. I love it. Certainly one of the best half-hour comedies I've ever seen. My goodness, but I adore the Bluth family. Or, rather, I love Michael. Who knew Mr Bateman would grow up to be so effin' handsome? I certainly would not have guessed it from watching Teen Wolf II. And the actors who play his brothers? Perfection. My God, perfection!!!! Wish they hand't changed the actress who plays Marta, however. I liked the first one better.

Ella Enchanted with the boys, which was cute
And I have Sideways for me to watch, if I can get rid of this stupid allergy headache!

Claire I will have to rent Outsiders tomorrow, you've whet my appetite for it!

"We've got to find this 'Hermano,' brother."

I looooove AD. Best comedy ever.

I had a crush on Derek (not Ricky!) when I watched Silver Spoons (okay, I crushed on Ricky's dad too) and when I was 12 I had elaborate fantasies about meeting Jason on the set of Valerie and having his love children, (while somehow remaining a virgin). I've always had a thing for plain looking guys with good hair and freckles. I've always loved his nose. It's so skin cancery or something. I adore his nose.

This week....watched State & Main. Still one of my favorite flipping movies of all time. "Sooo....that happened." I'm half-assedly watching Please Don't Eat the Daisies. God, I love David Niven.

Me

Well, I did

All three Godfathers.

Still laughing at the absolute SUCKAGE and creepiness of Sofia Coppola's Mary in Part III. I remember seeing it in high school and cursing Francis Ford Coppola for putting that ugly little no talent hag in the movie.

Now I love me some Sofia, but pleeease don't let her act ever again!!

She even sucked in The Outsiders in her 30 seconds onscreen.
I have Pride & Prejudice sitting here....Courtney watched it while she was sick on Monday, but I had too much going on to sit down with her and watch it. I also have Gone With the Wind but I don't know that my attention span is all there....also my husband's never seen it all the way through and he wants to, so I'd have to wait for him, which can suck. I LOVE GWtW and I have to watch it in one sitting....I get too addicted.

Weird....I was just talking to a 19 year old kid I know who was telling me of his plans for tonight and ended with "I have Pride and Prejudice and Gone With the Wind at home, so I may just stay in and watch those." Did you move to So Cal and take in a boarder? He did used to work at Do-It Center.

Saw Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy at the weekend. It was okay. Loved the opening though

Diabolik (Thank you MousePod) - What an awsomely swanky film. Couple of swanky hipster master criminals complete with underground lair, giant rotating lazy susan sofa bed, and his and her matching Jaguars. The art direction on this alone is priceless. This definately would go well in a triple feature with Barbarella and CQ. It boggles the mind why this isn't out on DVD yet.

Zorro the Gay Blade.

What a great movie! And a swell way to continue to avoid my last legal memo of the semester.

I have to catch up a bit:

The other night we saw Quills again- can I just say as good an evil pirate Geoffrey Rush was, he makes an awsome Marquis De Sade. The dialogue on this film is delightfully naughty and I love it's transitions from playfulness to the grusome - somewhat like the writings of the Marquis himself. Incidentaly this was a great follow-up to Pillow book.

Tonight we saw Tokyo Drifter, a classic 1966 Japanese gangster pic. Style wise this one definately was swanky - hip tokyo bars and settings. The jazzy soundtrack also was a pleasure. However, I found the film a bit hard to follow - not sure if that's my Western Sensibilities getting in the way. This, of course was a good follow-up from Diabolik.
