What Swanky Things are you Watching? - Page 27

I finally got a chance to see "Life is Beautiful" tonight. I've been wanting to see this film for such a long time and I wasn't disappointed. I didn't really know anything about the film when I watched it and I was surprised at the contrast between the first half and the second half. Roberto Benigni is a little over the top for my tastes and the plot wasn't without it's problems but it was still a moving film. I enjoyed it.

One more word about Brazil. As much as the Director's Cut is different from the theatrical version (and infinitely better), you MUST watch the TV version included in the set - which is also like watching a completely different film, this time infinitely worse.

Brazil is an amazing movie in its own right, and made even moreso by having 3 incredibly different versions through the magic or heinous art of editing. The commentary track for the TV version reveals one of the most pernicious stories in the disgusting annals of studio-controlled filmmaking (or, in this case, unmaking).

Final Episode of NYPD Blue tonight. What a great show. Sorry to see it go!

Been watching episodes of Sealab 2021 thanks to Netflix. Man do I love unabashed randomness.

I have been watching old home movies. Hours and hours of them. We are transferring them onto DVD.

It is sad. The kids have grown up so much and our parents are either gone, or have gotten in to pretty bad shape.

I like the kids to see a time when they hugged and kissed each other in the morning.

We struggled through The French Connection this week....it was kind of odd. I liked it, but my husband just rolled his eyes. Not his favorite.

Tonight it'll be Survivor. Right now, the girls are watching the first two episodes that we taped for them. Tonight will be our first family night watching it together....they're finally not grounded from TV/Gameboys!

LOST

I love this show. I love it, love it, love it.

What is down the hatch? Why are Hurley's lotto numbers so sinsister? WHAT'S DOWN THE HATCH.

J.J., are you just making it all up as you go along. You are, you bitch. I just bet you are.

Jack: Tastes pretty good to me.
