'Taps'
'Angels with Dirty Faces'

It was a good weekend.

I forgot to also add that I watched 'The Godfather' last night...

Yeah, I'm a loser.

so....
I got Suddenly Last Summer through NetFlix thanks to comments on LoT.

Guess I know where to come for movie suggestions.

GC - You're the good kind of loser, as far as I'm concerned.

I'm still on my Hitchcock kick - watched Rear Window this weekend. Next up: To Catch A Thief. I'm also going to be watching the TV shows he directed (just got a 5 DVD set from Amazon France that has all 17 episodes of 'Alfred Hitchcock Presents' he directed plus the single episodes of 'Suspicion,' 'Ford Startime,' and 'The Alfred Hitchcock Hour') over the next few days as well.

I guess I'm a loser too.

Ooh! Ooh! Mr. Kotter! I love 'Rear Window'! It's my favorite Hitchcock film. I don't know why I don't own it. Grace Kelly is beautiful in this one.

Which tech/flaw in particular were you thinking of?

I saw (for the first time) Donnie Darko last week. Interesting flick. I'd like to see it again and then again with a director's commentary. I saw it on cable, so a commentary wasn't an option.

It is essentially a microwave gun and boils the water in the sewers but apparently has no effect all all the other water between it and the sewers, particularly the other people and also ignoring the large amounts of metal between the microwave and the targetted water.

Also causing problems is the fact that the chemical had been in the water for quite a while and wasn't causing an epidemic of craziness from people taking hot showers and such. Most people will inhale vaporized city water once a day, if not more.

If it had been a movie in the mold of the previous Batman movies (or especially the TV show) I wouldn't have minded at all, but this one took things more seriously so such obvious problems bothered me more. Not enough to ruin the movie, though.
