Nick Charles: Oh, it's alright, Joe. It's alright. It's my dog. And, uh, my wife.
Nora Charles: Well you might have mentioned me first on the billing.

Busy week in the movie viewing department for us. While in Alaska, we saw 4.

First, finally saw 40 Year Old Virgin. As promised, it's a funny movie. Many many laughs, good characters. Steve Carrel always cracks me up.

Also caught Ray. Very well put togethe movie. Jamie Fox definitely did a fine job in the role.

Hero, the Jet Li movie that Quentin Tarantino had a hand in bringing to the US, was absolutely beautiful. A truly entertaining film.

And we did see one actual new movie, X-Men 3. Eh. Pretty bad, if you ask me.

Loved 'Hero'. I liked it about as much as I liked 'Crouching Tiger'. 'House of Seven Daggers'... meh....

Or something like that.

That film is one of my favorites. I tried to show it at a New Years Eve party a few years ago, but it just didn't work with a crowd. One would think that a drunk crowd could relate!

It's 6, and she asks for 5 more.

I can't believe I let my Thin Man boxed set sit on my end table in shrink wrap for so long (I bought it not too long after it came out). But the good thing is that there are 6 more, none of which I've ever seen.

The next 2 are good. The rest... well, you'll see.

The next one has Jimmy Stewart in it!

Matterhorn Fan · 06-05-2006, 12:02 PM

I saw that on the box!

I also loved the trailer for The Thin Man: "why are you impersonating a book cover?"

Um, Kill Bill Vol. 1 is one of the finest pieces of cinema ever made.

(Sigh, I have fond memories of when, once, SCAeeegles and I weren't on polar opposites of something or other.)

Have a Thin Man Party, I had two and they were fabulous, I will continue the trend when I return west. Nothing like watching a good deco movie with vintage era cocktails (or in my case, Italian Sodas) and good foodstuffs. Then watch the first movie with a crowd, it's a crowd pleaser!

Back in my imbibing days, "Drink along with Nick & Nora" was always a fun way to turn a social gathering into a nice swanky drunken mess.... It's the easiest drinking game, just drink when they do...

Tonight I'll be watching the Phantom of the Paradise... just got the special edition DVD from France.
