What Swanky Things are you Watching? - Page 28

Sealab 2021 via Netflix. I just love this random insanity, much like Aqua Teen. It gives me the giggles.

I just added Attack of the Clones to our queue so we'd be ready when Revenge of the Sith comes out. I'm going to force myself to watch it again, since I barely remember that piece of schlock.

God damn mother f'n Lucas...

Oh, you should absolutely see the opening midnight show at the Chinese Theater. My friends and I are among the loons who camp out in front of the Chinese for 6 weeks. The Line ends up being way more fun than the movie we are waiting for, but the opening show has a unique energy that is palpable and amazing. The atmosphere at the last-ever Star Wars movie opening will be incredible, and not to be missed by anyone with even a passing love of Star Wars.

Oh, and while Attack of the Clones may be a pretty lackluster film, it was at least tons of fun to watch for the first time. Can't say the same for Episode One. Compared to that crapfest which could not even be saved by opening night awe, Attack of the Clones is freaking Citizen Kane.

Oh yes...join us...<<zombie voice>>....

But seriously, 2 was better than 1 and 3 should be cool. I know a few who have already seen it and give an unsolicited

At least there will be no "are you an angel?" lines in it.

I saw this in the theater with my Dad. I'd broken my ankle and it was my first outting in the City. I was still slightly medicated. And I loved every minute of the movie. I felt like a kid. The action. The Jedi. I was so damn happy. I couldn't believe how much I liked it considering I never EVER want to watch Episode 1 again.

Then I saw Clones again at home. And was very distracted by the awful dialogue I missed thanks to the meds.

Still, I loved that Yoda fight. And a lot about the film. It was quite fun. So I'll be seeing the last one. Just not on opening night.

The more I hear about Lost, the more I regret missing it. I'll have to keep my eye out for a marathon to record or something.

I'm ambivalent about Lost.
I've watched every episode and I must admit they're entertaining, but it feels like a decent mini-series stretched out over 5 years. We're more than halfway through the season, and they're introducing more questions instead of answers. I understand the logic of wanting to keep the audience intrigued (was I the only one who watched Twin Peaks after they revealed Laura Palmer's killer?), but the plot doesn't have the depth to sustain such intense stretching. My fear is that the characters are going to become more and more 2-dimensional, even with all the backstory ("Something's missing. Let's ask Sawyer.").

PS You don't have to tell me I'm wrong about any of this. Heather reminds me how wrong I am every Wednesday.

I watched the whole second season and Fire Walk With Me. "New shoes."

I watched every single episode of Twin Peaks, even when it really started to lose it. It still had a spark of interest for me. The worst of Twin Peaks is still better than most of what's good on television, IMO.

Plus, David D shows up in drag. And the conclusion was chilling.

But David Lynch makes his **** up as he goes along all the time. And that just works for him. I wish they'd hurry up with releasing more of the seasons on DVD. And the Pilot. I can't believe they didn't include the original Pilot episode in the Season 1 dvds. Bastards.

Bambi

I'm enthralled. Bambi was my first animated Disney feature when I was a teen, that age where Disney is uncool and "OMG will my friends see me here". I knew crap about a multi plane camera but I knew this was different. I'd seen Swiss Family Robinson and Darby O'Gill and the Little People at the drive-in (And you people think you know swank. It was one of those places with a marquee very much like our own LoT logo) but movies were generally a rare treat for us.

The colors pop again. The artwork is beautiful. And I love the movie for what you don't see. You don't need to see the villain to feel his presence.
