“Crash, I suppose you also watch grass grow. If so, come to WA, because we are still mowing our lawns like crazy. Mine stays green all winter. You'd be highly entertained, lol:)”

“Last night I watched Suicide Kings again.
"You got a Benz, I got a busket! Gimme a dollar!”

“"Crash Bang, for Christian, rent "Babette's Feast", its a foreign film with subtitles but very deep....think eucharist.

That sounds so dirty when Nigal asks it, LOL.

Hey Nigal, that thing a friend might have made might be mailed to you today.”

“This is the synopsis from the box:

Babette's Feast, Academy Award winner Best Foreign Language Film - 1987

"Now from the celebrated storyteller Isak Dinesen (Out of Africa) comes this delicious tale of Babette, a superb French chef living an anonymous life among a pious congregation on the desolate coast of Denmark. As housekeeper and cook to two elderly, religious women, she's never called upon to prepare anything more exciting than the traditional boiled codfish and ale-bread soup. Until one day she wins 10,000 francs and decides to spend it all by creating the most memorable, mouth-watering, magnificanet meal ever consumed -- even though her guests, the simple villagers, will have no idea what they're eating.

Treat yourself to this wry, critically acclaimed look at life, pleasure and artistic passion. And eat, drink and be merry as this wonderful feast of a film unfolds.

Rated G"”

“Another favorite that I have in my collection is "The Secret of Roan Inish." That is well worth seeing as well.”

“Ever seen Waking Ned Divine? That was a great one.

SS- tell your friend thanks.”

“The Secret of Roan Inish is a really good movie...

I got the kidlets March of the Penguins for Christmas.”

“Nigal - My friend just wants it sent back when you are done, but please clean the sticky stuff off before returning. ;-)”

“March of the Penguins is out on DVD already????”

“yes - it came out last week some time.”

“I can'tr wait for Rent to come on dvd...

526,600 minutes...how do you measure the length of a year? [singing at the top of my lungs]”

“Just added your Ned Devine recommendation to my queu. I've been meaning to buy March of the Penquins as well. Another one that was just released was the documentary about the grizzly guy...can't remember the name. Anyone else know?”

“"Grizzly Man" aka "The guy who became bear poop"”

“Thanks, Bit. That's the one. They should have used your sugggestion for the movie title. ;)”

“And I wonder why people call me "insensitive"....”

“Watched 3/4 of "Being There" with Peter Sellers last night. Very funny, but not in a split-your-sides way.”

“Being There is a great flix!”

““War of the Worlds...

It had the potential to be a really good movie, but there were too many stupid things in it...

Like Tom Cruise.”

“So, ruby? What the hell does the woman cook up? People?”

“Disk two of season one of Lost is supposted to be in my mailbox today.

Thr PO really really sucks nowadays. It's been a full week since I returned a disk to Netflix and they still havn't got it.”

“how many movies do you people rent a month??”

“I get about 4 a week. We watch a lot of tv shows on dvds though. First season of 24 is on it's way this week.”

“We took out a few episodes of "Lost" from the video store on Thanksgiving, but I was cooking so I didn't really see it, but it just looked like a fake "Survivor" series.

I read the Spanish gal in the show got bagged for drunken driving twice and did a hit and run. If the series is coming back, she may be not be.”

“n-gal, youre gonna be blown away by 24”

“We just finished watching the last disk of the first season. What an addicting show. The scene with the earth science teacher just about made me shlt my pants. You'll know it when ya see SS. LOL!”

“I hope so Cr-sh. I've always heard how great it was but never got to see it. I like watching series on dvd. No comercials.”

“Nigal, please let me know when you get the Rome disks. I mailed them media mail which might have been a misstake. First Class was only about a buck more but I was feeling tight at the time, LOL.”

“Sure thing! Look forward to it!”

“I don't remember the whole meal, Wolfeyes. I remember that there were small birds involved. And wine, lots of wine. The townspeople didn't drink, so they didn't even appreciate the fabulous feast they were experiencing.”

“24 is an awesome TV show. The new season starts in Jan...Jack is back”

“I've been watching 24 too. Just started season 2 last night. Good show!

"I read the Spanish gal in the show got bagged for drunken driving twice and did a hit and run. If the series is coming back, she may be not be.”

No. She got pulled over for drunk driving, within 20 minutes of another actress on Lost on the same road. (I'm thinking they were out together.) Yes, she's gotten a DUI before. But no, she did not hit anyone!”

“PS, I love foreign films, so I added Babette and Roan to my queue.”

“National Treasure is a good movie in case you haven't seen it”

“The guy who wrote the book National Treasure has a whole series out I've been meaning to start.”

“National Treasure got mixed reviews because the critics were overly concerned about how feasable some things were in the movie, but I thought it was good and very entertaining.”

“I don't pay any attention to the reviews by critics. I go because it looks good.

I do want to see Derailed”

“I liked National Treasure too.”

“My kids loved National Treasure, especially my son.”

“#$#%$#$##$$#
Dang PO!
My Lost DVD wasn't in my mailbox!”

“Did not care for Babette. For Foreign films of that era the best was My Life as a Dog.

We just bought all the classic stop animation xmas movies, A Christmas Story, Frankenstein (Mel Brooks), Blazing Saddles, some Absolutely Fabulous, and Flying Circus.

Next I think we need some Kids in the Hall.”

“All this talk of foreign films makes me want to see more. I remembered seeing a movie years ago that I liked, "Tie Me Up! Tie Me Down!" So I just went and put it in my queu. Lo and behold, Antonio Banderas starred in it, but back in 1990 I didn't even know who he was.”

“That's a great flick! The director/cast/film is either Brazillian or Argentinian.

The same director did "Women on the Verge of a Nervous Breakdown".

Great Flick!”

“stove

so your lost dvd really is?”

“No, it's not lost yet, it's still in the hands of the crappy slow PO.
It will be in my mailbox tomorrow I hope.”

“Ewker, derailed was very good! I can almost guarantee you will like it. Jennifer Aniston and Clive Owen were so believable, you forgot you were watching a movie.

Pixie, this is the article from imdb.com on the actress from "Lost":

Rodriguez in Serious Legal Trouble?

Actress Michelle Rodriguez's alleged drunk-driving rap on Hawaii could land her with a huge Christmas headache - if prosecutors can prove she has violated the terms of her probation from another driving under the influence offence in June 2004. The SWAT star was arrested on suspicion of DUI after police stopped her after reportedly spotting her car weaving along a freeway near Honolulu, Hawaii, on Wednesday. Rodriguez faces a driver's license revocation hearing on December 29, but that could be the least of her worries if Los Angeles police decide she has violated her probation. Entertainment news website TMZ.com has unearthed the probation details stemming from two separate incidents, involving drink-driving and hit-and-run. Rodriguez was placed on probation for three years and she was specifically advised not to drink and drive. If the Los Angeles City Attorney believes Rodriguez drove drunk in Hawaii, the office could initiate a probation revocation hearing and she could face the maximum penalty on each of the three charges. Each charge carries a maximum of six months in jail.”

“Woo Hoo!
The last Lost DVD is supposed to be in my mailbox today.
I'll be all caught up on the first season then.
Too bad I havn't seen any of the second season.



Man, I don't know about Netflix.
Out of the first 12 DVDs in my Queve, 8 of them have a wait period.
2 very long waits
1 long wait, and
5 short waits.”

“I'm going to have to put that in my queue...I thought Lost was just another stupid reality show and never watched it.”

“It's seven DVDs, twiggy.”
