There is a movie thread here.



B.J's role was in the TV commercials, but the others weren't so you should put a spoiler alert on your thread. Just in case.

I thought it was Craig's role that I saw in the TV commercials and trailers, not BJs. That was a surprise to me. *shrugs*

The movie theater looked empty to me when I was by it tonite. But I picked up a dvd. I'm in a scary mood, so I got the classic horror, last house on the left. There really seems to be a poor selection at the video store.

went to see POTC, i'll write about it tomorrow.

Favorite scenes were with Jack, the monkey

HBO (well, the HBO channels that I have) had Star Wars A New Hope, Revenge of the Sith, Fever Pitch and 40 Year old Virigin on tonight at the same time. Even though I have seen all of those several times, I had a hard time deciding. I went with the Sith. Its been awhile since I watched it. And that History Channel documentary that was on the other day got me jonesing for some inter-galactic warfare. Oh, and Ewan. . .

^^ Oooh, that's a tough choice, but I think you chose wisely. Wasn't that History Channel documentary awesome? I loved it! It was so well done and insightful, I was really impressed. I think a Star Wars marathon is now in order.

^^ Yes! I always watch the Star Wars stuff on cable -- did you see the George Lucas bio on the Biography Channel just the other day? But somehow they always disappoint, just a little. But that one was really great. I have watched it twice already. I guess its something about having been a lit major, etc. that made me LOVE all the mythology and religion stuff that was in that one. It was ggggraaape!

Oh, and I already ordered a marathon for the summer. My husband . . . prepare yourself ... is NOT a Star Wars fan. And in the 7 years we have been together (5 of them as man and wife) I have tried to get him to sit and actually WATCH them with me. He cannot get through them. I know, I know, its ridiculous, but what can I say, I lobe him. But he is totally doing it this summer. I have had enough of planning Star Wars Trivial Pursuit parties where he has to play bartender because he can't or won't join in! Its pathetic.

They're playing The Hudsucker Proxy on HBO. I hadn't watched that in over 10 years. Here's my review:



(I already worshiped the ground the Coen brothers walked on because of Fargo, my #1 Desert Island movie.)

I mentioned this movie a few pages back when I watched it the other day. Love it!

I also thought the History Channel Star Wars special was excellent. ESB is on right now. My favorite part when I was a kid- when they were in the giant slug/bug/worm things stomach.


My brother can win that in 2 rounds. (should I not admit that? LOL. Heck, it's not me. Everyone else plays in teams against my brother and cousin who play by themselves, and I'm still lucky to get 3 pegs with a partner.) Harry Potter trivia- that I'd kick butt on.

That's why I love Star Wars though. Grew up with it. It's very nostalgic for me.

No, I missed the George Lucas bio. I'll keep my eye out for it though and hope they replay it. I taped the History Channel documentary and I think that'll kick-start my marathon. I LOVE all that mythology and religion stuff too. I really loved how in the documentary they talked about Joseph Campbell and his influence on George Lucas. All that stuff about the hero's journey... so beautiful. I've read a couple of his books and he mentions Star Wars in them a few times.



I LOVE the Coen brothers! Absolute 100% geniuses, and so funny. My favorite is The Big Lebowski (the dude, or el duderino if you're not into that whole brevity thing ) I just read that they debuted their new movie at Cannes, called 'No Country For Old Men', and it's supposed to be amazing. I think it comes out November this year and I'm SO excited!

Cool! We also watched "The Man Who Wasn't There" last week for the first time. It had a very stylized Film Noir feel, and Billy Bob Thornton was amazing.

By the way, I think "extruded plastic dingus" would make a good screen name.

i think i'm going to see Knocked Up on Monday lunchtime show

my daughter is loving "Never been kissed" with Drew Barrymore

Brilliant movie!!!! One of my favorites.

Anyone that doesn't like it is out of thier element

I saw Shrek the Third. There was a couple of funny moments, but I wasn't overly impressed; I didn't think Mike Myers did as well as he did in the 1st and 2nd. Gotta love Lancelot, though

I've put Girl, Interrupted and The Science of Sleep on my queue. Any opinions on either?

EXCELLENT movie and not because I like Angelina either........its a very deep moving movie(yeah that sounds cliche ) but I enjoyed it ALOT

I love Girl, Interrupted.

Ok all..

As promised, I am here to report on my viewing of "Knocked Up".

Please do keep in mind that I am VERY easily amused...so if you end up watching it and don't feel the same way as I do...sorry.

The movie has been EXTREMELY hyped up, so I came in with BIG EXPECTATIONS. The 40-Year Old Virgin is one of my favorite movies, so the bar was raised mighty high. I thought it was pretty freakin funny. There were lots of moments where I laughed outloud. I was a little sketchy at first, seeing Seth Rogen play the leading man(..and let me just say...there's something about that him that I find cute.)..but it made perfect sense. He played a great 'pothead loser' and Katherine Hiegl is definitely his polar opposite..successful and ambitious. Seeing a movie about 2 people from a one night stand trying to 'make a family work' sounds a bit far fetched (and it kinda is) but the interaction between the two characters are true to life. I don't want to give anything away but I'll just share thise much with you...there's a s3x scene (yes, while she's pregnant) it was a great mixture of funny...and wrong (does that make sense?? ). I don't want to give up anymore details..but i'd like to add that the fact that: BJ Novak, Craig Robinson and Steve Carrell are in the movie made it that much sweeter for me. They all just have 'bit' roles (Steve plays himself) but I know you all understand that feeling of...hmm..'pride' and butterflies in your tummy whenever you see ANY Dunder Mifflinite in a movie.

Long story short: Its worth watching in the theatres. Let me know what you think of it when you watch it.

This is such a great movie! You should also mention the movie Loser to her as well. Rocker Creed and I were having a discussion about it last week. It's in the same outcast-at-school vein and is very sweet. She may like it.

Funny thing is she is 10 and gets all the jokes she says 'oh gross' to sexual innuendo or jokes. But she has a thing for Drew Barrymore and has seen almost all her movies. I refuse to let them watch Lindsay Hohan movies, and she knows why.........but they have seen Mean Girls and try to watch it secretly when I am not around

She is the perfect person to hold up as to how to not be a teenager. Not that good ol' Dina really has done much for her over the years.

Also, check out Lindsay here:

yippeeee I'm going to the movies tonite! My mother went yesterday with some people and they all say knocked up and she started to tell me everything. I hope thats what I'm going to go see tonite.

The last film I watched was the 1952 Howard Hawks one entitled "Monkey Business". It stars Cary Grant & Ginger Rogers & Marilyn Monroe has a brief part too. Cary Grant & Ginger Rogers play Barnaby & Edwina Fulton, a married couple. Here are a couple of plot summaries taken from the film page over on imdb.com

&



This film was absolutely hilarious. Both Cary Grant & Ginger Rogers were marvelous & Marilyn Monroe was absolutely charming in her brief role as the secretary. One scene that stood out was when Edwina took the formula. Shortly after Oxley took the formula he decided to sit down. As he was doing that Edwina slipped a pie on the seat so when he sat down he would sit on the pie. When Barnaby said "Oh my" she suddenly burst into a song & dance about pies, which made me laugh so hard. Another classic scene was when Barnaby joined the group of little children playing indians. Seeing him act like a kid was priceless.

Ginger Roger's character takes the formula

Howard Hawks is a brilliant director. He's very good at producing screwball comedies & another good example is my favourite film, "Bringing Up Baby". This film has quickly became of my favourites. There was also a Mr.Peabody in this film too, which was kinda interesting.

^^ Love the new avatar prettyinpink!

I just saw About A Boy for the first time ever (that's what 6 bucks at Target'll get ya) and I really enjoyed it. I usually like Hugh Grant, though he comes off as kinda sleazy IMHO, but this role was really good for him.

Favorite Line:
Will:"Worldy Music."
Marcus:"Shake. Your. A.ss."
Will:"Slash Rap."

He was great in 'Lair of the White Worm'

i jsut watched blood diamonds, finally. i thought it was very good. i don't really like leo dicaprio that much(ever since titanic and the beach, eek) but he was really good in this, and his south african accent was spot on!

now i only need ot watch the departed, and i will have seen all of the 2007 oscar nominees/winners. i'm only four months late!

I really loved that movie - mostly because it is based on a Nick Hornby book, and he is one of my favorite authors! All of the movies based on his books are great (the ones I have seen at least). Check them out here.

My favorite line: "England, the world, the universe."

Alright, I just need to say this. As much as I love Steve Carell and everything he's ever done, I'm not looking forward to Evan Almighty. It looks really lame. And that makes me sad.

Also, I was home yesterday and Michael Moore was on Oprah. And even though I can't really tolerate either of them, he was discussing his new documentary "Sicko." Since I work in the healthcare field I was intrigued and was fully expecting him to bash the healthcare industry and for me to add more reasons to my list of why I don't like him. But I was pleasantly surprized. It's not an attack on the healthcare industry, it's an attack on the health insurance industry. Amen!

For the first time in my life I'm optimistically anticipating the release of one of his documentaries. I think the appeal for me is that it doesn't appear to have a hidden political agenda supporting it. This one is something that is for everyone because at some time in our lives we all will have to battle it out with an insurance company. Whether it's trying to find a company that will accept you if you are low-income or terminally ill, or if you have a medical bill that is denied, etc. Everyone has to deal with insurance companies, regardless of political affiliation.

I saw Epic Movie last week.

In the words of Kevin: "Two thumbs down."

I agree. I can't see paying $10.75 each for this. I can see us watching this on a lazy Saturday, though.

I am glad you said it first. I was afraid to say it. It could be a good rainy day matinee movie with kids. Someone else see it first and let me know.

I frequent James Gunn's myspace page (jennas husband) and he posted this a while ago, about his most recent trip to Amsterdam and the red light district ... Sorry if this has already been posted. I thought it was a great read.

http://blog.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseacti...72-d7485e299e30

Great read!!! That was hilarious!

The women can get incredibly aggressive in the red light districts. My buddies and I walk through the district whenever we're near one. None of us have ever done anything (we're all married or taken) but it's fun getting hassled by the women.

EPIC MOVIE IS THE BEST EVER!!!!!!!!

Make that a double yikes.

Any JAM fans like the movie 'A Mighty Wind'?

The chemistry (and lost romance) between Mitch and Mickey was nice. The song 'A Kiss At The End of the Romance' is really sappy sweet but it worked so well in the context of this film.

i do

i actually really like all the movies by this group of actors, but my favourite was best in show. i just love hte commentators, they were hysterical.

it's kind of wierd cause i have to watch these by myself cause my family can't stand the humor, my mom literally sits there and cringes at the screen

I just love this movie so much. I've seen it at least a dozen times, and I still tear up during The Kiss every time. I'm not sure what it is about it that gets to me (it's Eugene Levy, for crying out loud!), but it really does.
Also, have you ever heard Eugene Levy talk about Catherine O'Hara? It's adorable. It's so obvious that they have a truly special bond and love for each other. I love watching those two act together.

I watched Strictly Ballroom tonight. Really good movie. It was very quirky and almost "campy" at times but I really liked it.

Since there is a topic for Lost and BG, I figured I'd make one for the best movie ever. I love this movie, so discuss it.

UGHHHHHHHHHHHHH, why was this merged? I really wanna talk about LOTR on a different thread. *Pouts and slams fists. (Like Dwigt...)

This weekend, I'm gonna watch "Once". Has anybody seen or heard of it? It's gotten rave reviews and I caught the trailer when I went to watch "Severence". It looks like something I'd "awwww" at the entire time. It's being labeled as a Musical but I'm not sure if that means its a traditional Song and Dance musical or just a movie that involves music and the actors in the film actually play instruments and sing. Wow..did that make sense? I'll definitely be back Monday with an update.

i just watched this too!! it was on IFC a couple of days ago. I love those insane costumes at the end, i wonder if people ever really did thier hair like that for a real australian ballroom competition, or if it was just artistic liscense

Have either of you seen the original "Shall We Dance?". I like it SOOOOOOOOOOO much better than the watered down Richard Gere/J-Lo Movie.
