Oooo... How could I forget Singing in the Rain, American in Paris, and Kiss Me Kate!

Just watched King of Kong, the documentary about the hard-core classic gaming community and a scandal in their midst.

I'd say this is mandatory viewing for anybody who has spent much time in small ultra-niche groups who can find themselves taking things way more seriously than necessary.

Also, while watching things like this (and Hands on the Hard Body and others of the ilk) I can't help but try to imagine something similar being made about MouseAdventure and how everybody would come across.

Damnit, will you stop posting reviews that don't pertain to anyone on this board.

Why I do declare! I surely have no idea what you're talking about.

Yes, King of Kong is excellent. I'll add to that same mandatory viewing list Darkon, 2006. Not a great movie, but very interesting in an ultra-niche group sort of way.

PUERTO RICO. My HEARTS devotion. Let it Sink BACK in the OCEAN.
Always a hurricane blowing.
Always the pop-u-la-tion growing
And the sunlight streaming
and the natives screaming.......

I like the island Manhattan (I know you do)

We watched National Treasure 2 tonight, it wasn't as bad as I thought it would be. The boy liked it a lot, especially the car chases. I think I need to rent a good movie with car chases for him. Any good recommendations?

I probably shouldn't but...

Dirty Harry movies? But, they are kind of violent.

Ummm...Steve McQueen and 'Bullit'? And there is another one, maybe 'Vanishing Point'? Or is that just a guy/car flick? Or 'Duel'? Isn't that one about a guy in a truck harrassing a guy in a car? Maybe not a good one.

Smokey and the Bandit? Can't say I've seen them but aren't they car flicks?

We saw 'Get Smart' tonight. I really liked it. Made me really want to watch the old shows and to find out the status of Don Adams.

The Italian Job (the remake) had some cool car chase scenes...
