“Saw an indie called The Science of Sleep...very good movie...kinda reminded me of Big Fish

also finally got around to seeing Talidaga Nights...first half was hilarious then it just kinda went down hill

also tried to start watching the Departed last night but never made it past the first 15 minutes...it's tough trying to watch movies now with an 8 month old around

and you dont pay attention. i was also in the post before it, giving me 2000 and 2001”

“WOUNDED KNEE!

;)”

“Go over to the Trapp Hills trip thread, yes you.”

“Okie dokie.”

“Ice Harvest was pretty good...”

“A Man for All Seasons (1966)”

“I used to use Intelliflix and was terribly unhappy with the service. I'm pretty sure I posted about it on this thread way back when. I lodged an official complaint with the company (did me no good) as well as with the South Florida BBB. After my year subscription was up I let it lapse, which I was only able to do because I had paid for it with a debit card from an account that I closed once I moved. Thankfully, when they tried to automatically renew me, the charge obviously wouldn't go through and my Intelliflix hell was over. I ignored all their "concerned and helpful" emails asking me to give them a different credit card.


Today in the mail I received something from the Florida Attorney General's office, Economic Crimes Division. Before opening it I figured it was related to a case I had worked on or something. But instead it was a request asking me for information on my past dealings with Intelliflix. Apparently, the company is now under official investigation, a lawsuit has been filed, and the AG is asking for info from anyone who lodged a complaint against them through the BBB or the AG's office.”

“WOOT!!!!!!!!!
Yea, Ruby!!!!!!!!”

“Last night I watched Tenacious D's The Pick of Destiny. I knew it was going to be a winner from the start when young Jack Black's oppressive conservative christian dad, played by Meatloaf, forbid rock and roll in the house so he prays to Ronnie James Dio for guidance. LOL! The magic mushroom/sasquatch segment is not to be missed.”

“im still madly in love with netflix. their selection is ginormous and diverse, their customer service is excellent, and their turnaround time is super speedy. the honeymoon is not over with us”

“What are you doing here Crash Bang?! What happened?

What the heck was it we rented last week and couldn't get through....

"Running with scissors" It just sucked the fun right out of the evening. Maybe it got better if you sat through it all but it was lousy, depressing and slow.”

“waiting for ed and sam to show up. sams flight was majorly delayed. he was supposed to get in last night, now he is scheduled to arrive this afternoon at 1:15”

“Oh. Glad you're there! I thought something bad happened or something. Have a great trip.”

“I loved Netflix but I recently found a better and cheaper way to rent. Our Kroger has a machine that rents new releases for $1 a day. It is great. No more $4.50 movies (Ballbuster Video) or waiting for the mail.”

“we got that around here to but the selection's pretty bad...it only has the mainstream movies”

“Our Kroger's machine's always broken.”

“we've been renting from the Red Box machine...the selection is limited though...”

“I need to get my hands on Pee Wee's Big Adventure. The video store in town doesn't have it anymore. If anyone has a copy (VHS or DVD) they want to part with, get in touch with me. Thanks.”

“Somehow I didn't picture you as a big Pee Wee fan, *G*


I just caught an oldie-but-a-goodie the other night:

Witness For The Prosecution (1957)”

“I get it at the library all the time, for free. Most libraries will send for a copy from another town if yours doesn't have it. Tell em Large Marge sent you. ;)

I also get seasons of Pee-Wees Playhouse. We all adore Pee-Wee.

“I watched a little of "Witness" last night Tilt. I flipped between that and a heavily edited "Gladiator." It just isn't the same without all the blood and gore.”

“Remember... no spoilers! *G*”

“Somehow I didn't picture you as a big Pee Wee fan, *G*

Isn't a big peewee fan an oxy-moron?”

“Actually, I'm suprised that took so .... long?”

“I watched Thank You for Smoking that was good, but not as funny as it could have been...

Just got American Psycho from intelliflix, I like Christian Bale...Empire of the Sun was one of the best movies I've seen - and The Machinist was good too.

“I watched Devil Wears Prada Monday night. I wasn't too excited about watching it, but was suprised that I was actually entertained. I enjoyed a chick flick.”

“I watched Firewall last night. It was almost worth the big budget they spent on it.”

“saw the prestige last night...very good film...much better than the illusionist”

“Just got done watching Fast Food Nation. What an unrelenting piece of propaganda that was. It was the worst. Horrible writing. Bad acting (except for Greg Kanear). No plot. And endless leftist propaganda.

If Al Gore and Michael Moor screwed, had a bay together, sent it to film school; this would be the result.”

“I'm watching my brand spanking new Primal Quest 2006 dvd this week.

Just about to put it in the old player.”

“got Scrubs seasons 1-4 for my birthday...i know what i'll be doing for the next month...i've come to a tough realization thought, the earlier season's were a lot funnier than the current one...that always spells doom for a sitcom”

“Twigeater...I watched Ice Harvest last week...I couldn't stand it...I kept on fast forwarding it.

I think I could have watched "Empire in the Sun"...a while ago...I need to check it out again to see what the film was about. I know I have "The Machinist"....didn't see it yet.

Just saw "Toosie" over the weekend....quite funny. About to see "One Hour Photo"....looks good.”

“I wouldn't mind acquiring Avatar season 1 on dvd. That's a cool animated series.”

“saw Stranger Than Fiction and an independent film called Running With Scissors

Stranger Than Fiction was hilarious, a very good movie

Running With Scissors was pretty good too, some really funny scenes but some of it was artsy for the sake of being artsy”

“lots of action,good flick ,Oh and Jennifer Connelly was OK”

“watched "Children of Men" the other night and I am still trying to decide what I thought of it. I keep feeling like it was missing something. I probably would rave over the book, but the movie felt very slow, even with all the action scenes. My wife stopped watching halfway thru, and part of me felt the same way, but another part wanted to see where it was going. I'm still not sure if I would recommend it to someone else.”

“children of men was cool, but the plot was kinda thin”

“I've been wanting to see Children of Men, waiting for it to be available at Red Box.

Intelliflix was fine for the first year, but I'm annoyed with them and had them take me off auto renew. I'm getting movies I swear I never put in my queue.
I printed it out today so I can check next movie that comes along.”

“ruby hated intellifux”

“Saw first move in 2 years over the weekend, but I cannot remember the title. One of those Oscar films.”

“oscar the grouch?”

“No it was an Oscar nominated flic”

“wasnt schindlers first name oskar? maybe it was schindlers list”

“The one scene in Children of Men where they are making their way into the building being held by the rebels was unbelievable! One of the best action scenes I've ever seen. It was like a 10 minute, non stop continuous shot.”

“Yeah, that was a cool shot. I liked walking out of the building, too. Then the shot that set everything back into motion.”
