yes, perhaps I should have specified, "the show not quite correctly referenced in your sig line, CP."

Fixed.

I saw Grindhouse last night (after an aborted attempt last week) - I really enjoyed the first film (Planet Terror), and the fake trailers (especially 'Thanksgiving').
The second film had too much damned Tarantino sitting around talking about nothing that drives the story. Kurt Russell was a lot of fun as Stuntman Mike,
but I think overall, 'Death Proof' was a bit of a letdown.

It's extremely rare that a comedy would make me laugh the first time around - and Malibu's Most Wanted was no different. In fact, I probably considered it the least funny movie I'd seen in years.

The strange thing is, I've caught it a couple of times on Comedy Central over the last couple of days (this morning, for example), and I have been giggling my ass off.

I still think it's a stupid movie.

After it's recent mention I watched The Night Porter yesterday. I must have been more easily titillated when I saw it years ago. This time I just found it slow and boring (not a great thing when you've been up for 30-something hours.

I fell asleep for about five minutes in the middle of the dancing topless Nazi scene.

I caught most of Ferris Beuler's Day Off today. I feel like I wasted good time watching a dull movie. I hate that.

Absolutely. Life moves pretty fast. If you don't stop and look around once in awhile, you could miss it.

Ferris Beuller and The Breakfast Club struck a teenager genetic chord that I apprently lack.

If forced to pick one I'd go with Ferris Beuller but it wouldn't be a happy choice. Actually if I had to pick one of the trio of movies that were taken as proof that god loves us and bestows gifts upon us during my junior high/high school years and yet I despided (because Satan loves me) I'd pick Heathers as the most watchable.

That last sentence is the most beautifully constructed of all time. I must forward it on to Edmund Burke so he'll be overwrought with jealousy.

Life is a carousel, NA. A great big crazy ball of pure living, breathing joy and delight.

... You gotta get one.
