Love love love 'High Noon'.
I often watch it in times when I feel like I'm all alone on a certain issue...

I recently saw 'The Constant Gardener' and loved it. I also finished watching the last disc of 'Firefly' - stupid Fox. 'History of Violence' and 'Enron: The Smartest Guys in the Room' just came on Netflix.

Recently saw The Women (for the 1200th time and it's still hysterical) and Footlight Parade (the very best in Busby Berkely excess), Kurosawa's Dreams (sorry I missed that in the theatre, stunning film to look at) and Mambo Italiano (stereotypical Italians, but it had some cute moments)

We've been watching Season One of Arrested Development. You know that's a pretty good show. I think we'll have to get the next season when we're done.

Glad you're enjoying it...it just keeps getting better as more and more things intersect. And the good news is that there's been a rumor that it will indeed by picked up by, I believe, Showtime.

Yes, I'm really liking AD. Since I am pet sitting all week, I thought it would be a good thing to watch while I'm not at home, and that has proven to be the case. However, I had to first explain to € that Amy Sedaris was NOT in this show and that is, in fact, the other show I am interested in, I love having a husband who is even more clueless about TV than I am.

No, but Amy Poehler is married to Will Arnett (Gob). Poehler was in Upright Citizens Brigade with Matt Walsh, who is on the Daily Show. Stephen Colbert of the Daily Show was in Strangers with Candy which did, in fact, star Amy Sedaris. So the confusion is totally understandable.

So was Strangers with Candy the Amy Sedaris show you wanted to see (I never particularly liked it)?

Our last three netflix rentals were "North by Northwest", "Guess Who's Coming to Dinner" and "The Green Mile". We enjoyed all of them a great deal.

Next on the list is "The Reluctant Astronaut", "Lady and the Tramp" (which I havent seen in years) and "Treasure of the Sierra Madre". Should make for a good weekend.

Yes, I had been wanting to check out Strangers with Candy. I'm not sure I would actually like it, but I was going to give it the old Sedaris Family try.

The only connections I can make with AD and another show is Ally McBeal.

So THAT's why she looks so familiar - duh
