OMG! The Love God? is must viewing! It's got to be the only Don Knott's sex comedy, though it is pretty chaste, but an amusing satire of the whole Playboy philosophy, and Knotts gets to do some hilarious bird calls. Add it to your queue right away!

Too bad, though. I was looking forward to Get Smart.

I am still looking forward to it. I loved that show, still make references to it. When the kids were little my sis and I used to have to find a 'cone of silence' to talk around them. That meant it was just for us.

I don't know how many times I said 'Would you believe....'

I still haven't taken the Boy to see 'Kung Fu Panda', he really wants to see it. We went to see 'The Incredible Hulk' Fathers Day and 'Iron Man' before that. I liked RDJ more than the Hulk but I think the story with the Hulk was maybe better. I don't know, not really my type of movie but I did enjoy them.

As far as DVD, has it been discussed here, 'There Will Be Blood'?

Oh yes, we were all over that, Gemini Crickett and I. Alex, too, I think.

I love. They hate.

iSm, that would be TWBB?

I just need to understand more about why, why, why?????

My son loved it, said he wants to be just like DDLs' character when he grows up.

Well, as I've said before in this thread ... the second time I watched it, the film played more like a comedy to me. So many of the scenes and characters are very broad, and really, really funny.

DDL's character is a complete, soulless, heartless bastard. But a fascinating one. However, if your boy wants to be just like him .... send him to Military School right now.

I should search that and read what you all have said...

Yes, the movie was very good. I just couldn't get over that soulless heartless bastard. {a very good description!}

Yeah, I don't know about my son, I don't know if he is messing with me or what. I just told him not to practice such behaviour on his little brother.

There Will Be Blood is a movie that is settling in memory better than it was experienced.

I believe my comments after initial viewing were that I admired it, loved what he was trying to do, but I thought it went off the rails by the end.

MouseWife · 06-20-2008, 07:39 PM

The ending did leave me with my jaw dropped. I was a little p'oed that I'd stayed up until midnight to finish it.

I loved the area shots. I loved when they showed the coast. I told my son, when they showed the one young man in the house, I guess it was his grandfather who was gone? I told my son that is exactly how it must have been in the day. That is so interesting to me.

Ditto. I was right along with it for a while, and did indeed see the humor through it, but it just never seemed to completely gel into anything more than an interesting concept.

Just watched No Country For Old Men, and then rewatched the last half hour or so of it, because it definitely threw me the first time around. I'm sure I saw it discussed here long ago, but the search function won't grab it because so many of the words in that title (no, for, old) are too common. Anyhow, after a day's reflection, I think this one is going to stick with me for a while. Did others here love or hate it?

There Will Be Blood is tonight's viewing for me. (I'm only a year or so behind.)

Spoiler: I asked if he was supposed to be the devil, was he supposed to have sold his soul to become this oil 'magnate' ;0) or what?! He was so evil! I did not like him at all. The movie itself was good but his actions sickened me. What did you guys think, sick man or what? That oil men are evil? I mean, there has to be more than just that ending..... __________________ Summa' time....when the livins' easy.........
