“Molly Hunter was smokin' hot in that one . Very stupid movie but, dang, she was hot and naked! LOL!”

“That'd be Holly Hunter.”

“Which movie?”

“Nigal, please, not Holly Hunter. I can't take her accent, which at first I thought was a speech impetament, lol:) She slurs some words like "Dear Abbey" used to when she was alive and it was also her accent.”

“Oh noooooo.... I love Holly Hunter and her cute accent.


I watched Wedding Dress last night. It's a story about the journey a particular wedding dress takes through various people's lives. All their stories intertwine eventually. Makes for an interesting movie. Some of it is predictable, but all in all, a pleasant way to spend a couple hours. No awful sadness or drippy sappiness. I'm not sure what genre I would put classify it as it's not exactly a romance, but that seems to be the most apt description. I recommend it.”

“Holly Hunter is HOT!!!”

“Oh wow, could you imagine a cross between Holly Hunter and Molly Ringwald?...

I think I just spooged.”

“Holly Hunter IS hot. And she was fantastic in Broadcast News.”

“LOVED that movie, arclite. My buddy and I went to see it in high school. We thought we were so erudite and intellectual compared to our peers who preferred scary movies and other drivel.”

“I just don't get it. There must be two actresses named Holly Hunter!”

“Anyone a Meg Ryan fan? She looked like Sh$t on Ophra. Her hair was oily looking and hung in front of her face like a limp dish rag. Maybe she turned down Ophra's staff fixing her hairdo before she came out.

Otherwise, she still didn't look good. She has seen better days. She took time off to disappear after all of her publicity when she divorced the adorable Dennis Quaid and dated Russell Crowe. She said Crowe didn't break up her marriage, but also didn't say she was dating him while still married and behind her husband's back. Well, I think Crowe dumped her to go back with his old flame and that may be the real reason she got out of the spotlight, so she could have a melt down.”

“Yea, she looked liked she had some work done on her face and they didn't do a very good job. Too bad. I always thought she had a very youthful looking face, kind of like Sally Fields.”

“I own that movie, Ruby. But I also sometimes enjoy scary movies and other drivel...

...except for Alien 3000.



Some favorite comedies:
Arsenic and Old Lace (own it)
Dr. Strangelove (own it)
Grosse Pointe Blank (own it)”

“I saw two movies this weekend.
One was Two for the Money staring Al Pacino and Matthew McConaughey.
This movie should get an award for it's implausible plot which was exceeded only by it's predicability.

The other was Lord of War staring Nicolas Cage.
I was expecting a black comedy and was treated to a black, depressing movie.

Avoid both of these if you any kind of life.”

“A little off topic...

Two dvd player manufacturers...Toshiba and Sony are duking it out. They both have came out with HD dvd players, but their dvd's are not comparable with each other. So if you buy one brand you are stuck with their HD dvd's.

They had a "sit down" to try to remedy the problem....but in the end both parties walked out of the boardroom.”

“I thought the opening sequence of Lord of War should have gotten an award. The whole sequence was the birth and end of a single bullet from the mold, to the casing, to the box, to the case, to the air plane, to the landing field, to the magazine, to the Somalia kid’s forehead.

I watched walk the line. I didn’t catch most of the dialogue as I was transfixed by Reese’s beauty.”

“Lord of War was different.
Reminded me a lot of the old 60s poster:
War is bad for children and other living things.
I found it a litle preachy, but still entertaining and it does shock you into thinking.
I expected it to just be another Bash-Bush movie, but it wasn't. Most of the time period of the movie was in the Clinton years.”

“I have to give North Country the worst video in a long time, but I liked the ending. This is a fictional account of a historic harrassment law suit that basically makes all men look like crap. Like a lot of movies instead of telling the story they, just put up one unbelieveable scene after another. Awful.

Of course what really sucked is that I was out on a first date and after dinner she pops this in the DVD, because I had already seen 'The Terminal.' A real boner stopper.”

“I try to avoid the “based on a true story” type of movies all together. There is very little truth in them. Take Munich as a perfect example.”

“Watched Black Hawk Down (own it) this weekend. Still just as awesome as the first few times I watched it.”

“"Hyway likes the skinnies, don't ya Hyway?"

Have you ever read the book? The book, while a bit more confusing simply because the research was so exhaustive and complete, is better. And if ya like this movie/book get his other book Killing Pablo. It's all about Pablo Escobar’s rise, fall and death. And again, completely exhaustive in it's completeness.

“Nothing like a naked woman with her ribs protruding.”

“Nigal, the opening was good, then he stands there and says, "There are so many guns that one out of twelve people in the world have one. Now how do we get the other eleven?"
So you see why I was let down expecting a black COMEDY.

Stove, the only politics I got from if is that all Parties are they same. BTW, problems in Africa - still going on today.”

“Yep, that was pretty much my take on it too.
I was expecting it to be Bash-Bush.”

“Hey we were both wrong on the same thing!
Does this mean we're starting to think alike? 8^)”

“Maybe, LOL.
He11, even violin and I have agreed on one or two things lately. ;-)”

“I wasn't too impressed with Lord of War either....to me it just didn't seem to go anywhere. I do agree with Nigal though: the opening credits running through the life of a bullet was some great stuff.”

“My wife, bless her little heart, bought me the Office Space [edition with flare] dvd.”

“Kewl
I love that DVD”

“I bought my wife Harry Potter 4 and surprised her with it.

It worked.”

“Milton reminds me of Lyra for some reason.”

“Constantly mumbling about burning things?”

““Milton reminds me of Lyra for some reason.”

Damn you Nigal!
That made me blow coffee thru my nose!”

“Nigal, I'll kill you! LOL! You'd better elaborate on what exactly the similarities are, and it had better be something about his sexy bod. You're under warning too, bitpusher.
8D”

“

"And I said, I don't care if they lay me off either, because I told, I told Bill that if they move my desk one more time, then, then I'm, I'm quitting, I'm going to quit. And, and I told Don too, because they've moved my desk four times already this year, and I used to be over by the window, and I could see the squirrels, and they were merry, but then, they switched from the Swingline to the Boston stapler, but I kept my Swingline stapler because it didn't bind up as much, and I kept the staples for the Swingline stapler and it's not okay because if they take my stapler then I'll set the building on fire..."”

“I'll set YOU on fire, mister!”

“You've never seen it Lyra?”

“Yeah I've seen it eleventy-billion times. Which is why I'm so disturbed that he reminds you of me, LOL!”

“"Looks like somebody's got a case of the Mondays."”

“I bet she has a nice red stapler too. ;)



We saw "Walk the Line" last night. I adore Johnny cash's music and was really impressed with the singing in the movie. I think Joaquin Phoenix did Johnny justice. I was surprised at what a wonderful voice Reese Withspoon has too. It was cool seeing the stories behind the songs. watched the deleted scenes and felt many of them really filled in some gaps in the movie.”

LMAO!
Quit it Nigal! My sides hurt!”

“Just finished watching "Last of the Mohicans". Forgot how awesome a movie it is. Plus it has spectacular North Carolina scenery.”

“I bought Brokeback Mountain the day it came out - best movie I've seen in a long time.”

“wow, haven't seen this tread in a while...i guess with the nice weather we've all been out on the trail instead of watching the boob tube...did you get it at the evil wal mart? there's a big hub bub about whether they were gonna carry it”

“Oh yeah? I've been wondering how it was. I'm down with some gay cowboys, but all the previews looked bor-ing. Alas, I just cancelled my Netflix...I'd had the same 3 movies sitting around unwatched for weeks so I figured I wasn't into it anymore!”

“I got it at Wal-Mart.

I dunno, I have to agree with what I'd heard that it's not a gay cowboy movie, it's a love story.”

“i haven't seen it but i have a lesbian couple as friends and them and many in their cycle of friends actually found the sex scenes offensive...they said they were too graphic, regardless of if it was gay or straight sex”

“That surprises me - there was very little in the way of on screen sex. Most "R" movies I've seen show a lot more.”

“I was going to recommend Greaser's Palace - some of it is deadly boring, but it has some incredible moments (one of my favorite scenes of all time)... and it is definitely unique. Not a top ten must see movie by any stretch.”

“that was a pretty passive-aggressive movie review, ped”
