Question from the "Book" thread for Snogging Staplers..and anyone else =P


Have u seen the movie The Debut?

I just saw your post in the Book thread!

No, I haven't seen it. Is it worth seeing?

I definitely think you should watch it. It's a movie about a Filipino american family. The son in the movie is experiencing what most second-gen filipinos experience..the fork in the road between the American Culture we've embraced and the Filipino Culture we've been raised with. I related to EVERYTHING the main character went through...the feeling of 'embarassment' when bringing my non-filipino friends to the house..in fear that they'd question my HUGE fork and spoon in the living room..or the Last Supper pictures in every room...not to mention the filpino 'smell' in my house. =P I didn't fully embrace the filipino culture until I was into high school and even more so as I got older. You should definitely pick it up. It made me proud to see a movie about Filipinos on the big screen...without being in The Philippines.

Rent it and let me know what you think!

That sounds really good! I need to find it. Thanks Dee!

Totally off topic, but your sig is super sexy. Adam Levine is on my to do list .

Tonight I'm gonna watch "Funny Face" on DVD.

I love Funny Face. I was planning on watching Love in the Afternoon tonight. I've never seen it!

oooh, bubble, I looove that movie! For some reason that's one of the few movies that always makes me cry at the end. It's funny though, it's not the romance that makes me tear up...it's when the dad asks the mom to dance. Wah.

Kids are watching Men in Black II

i'm sad to say I am laughing, mainly at the dog

i want to rent the messengers for this weekend. I kinda want to see john cusacks new movie. He's older but still cute. I haven't seen a good movie in ages.

I'm babysitting tonight (wife is meeting with video biz client).

I think I'll watch '200 Cigarettes' after the kids go to bed. That's a funny quirky movie.

A Mighty Wind and Best in Show are my favorites by that crew. So good.

Saw
Earth Girls are Easy the other night . . . . .

campy beyond belief, but I actually enjoyed it, (okay, except maybe for Jeff Goldblume). Plus I'd never realized that where "I'm a Blond" came from.

Anyone seen Knocked Up or Ocean's 13 and are they any good?

Sorry, RC, but I have to ask.....You call it "babysitting" when you watch your own kids?

I've heard a few other fathers say this, and it always seems so strange to me. I've never heard a woman refer to watching her kids as 'babysitting'.

Is this a total guy thing?

Yep, I think it's a guy thing. I've always heard it called that with other men.

I should probably not use that term, it makes it sound like a chore. It's definetly not a chore, my kids are really fun to be with.

My husband was insulted when I asked him to "babysit" one day. Boy did I get grief for that one.

I really like that movie--I actually saw it in the movie theater when it came out. Another movie my husband doesn't get!



We saw Knocked Up today--it was pretty good. A little longer than it needed to be, but it had it's moments. I liked it, but there are people who are saying it was funnier than 40 Year Old Virgin, and I don't agree with that. Tom (I'm tired of typing my husband), saw 13 and he said it was good, better than 12 but not as good as 11. If that helps any!!

You have great taste in movies! I need to start getting recommendations from you.

Aren't you supposed to be at a wedding? Thanks for the compliment, but I think my quota of "cool" movies has been exhausted!

Movies for the evening: Big Fish and A Good Year

rented a cheesey horror flick with george wendy(norm from cheers) thats why I rented it. I thought it would be funny to see norm go mental.

*thinking of asking cousin to download POTC3 and oceans 13 and knocked up for me since I know now I will never make it to the theater.*

Watching Shrek now.......god how I love this movie, the only thing that still grates is knowing that Cameron Diaz is Fiona.

My all time favorite lines from Shrek:

Lord Farquaad: Tell me where are the others.
Gingerbread Man: Eat me.
[spits]


[about Snow White]
Magic Mirror: Although she lives with seven other men, she's not easy.

The Donkey: C'mon, princess, you're not that ugly. All right, you are ugly. But you're only like this at night. Shrek's ugly 24/7.

My husband and daughter are in the other room, and he's introducing her to the joy that is "Toy Story".

Husband's watching You Me and Dupree.

Seth Rogan in a supporting role -- makes me smile.

Me too! My favourite scene was when Jo did that entire dance in the cafe or pub. I guess all those years of ballet really paid off for Audrey Hepburn.

It was an evening wedding (and a fun one too).

Have you seen the movie '100 Girls'? You may like that one.

No, I'll have to look that one up. Wait, is that the one when the guy goes on a 100 dates to try and find the right girl?

No. This movie is about a college student who gets stuck in an elevator during an all-night power outage. He bonds with a girl on the elevator. But he doesn't know who she is or even what she looks like.

The movie is about him trying to find out who she is. It's a funny romantic comedy.

Sounds perfect for me, then! Thanks for the tip!!

^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Oh! I am watching this movie since it was on when I woke up and the last line always gets me

That's a great movie!

Have you ever noticed that Adam Sandler punches someone in nearly all of his movies.

Vicki was really unhot though. Bad casting.

I agree a bad girl should look hot not scary or possessed ...

SAVE DARFUR

Dude, don't go posting this everywhere. You'll just antagonize people, (about you, not the cause).

Hey, "mixed berries."

I COULD CARE LESS ABOUT WHAT YOU ****S THINK OF ME.

strike one

HAHAHHA.

Classy. Nice.

Anywhoo...

i started getting all of my dvd's together......I previously had the disks in a dvd holder binder/wtf-ever and I store the dvd cases up in the attic.

I bought these huge dvd cases to attempt to put them in some sort of order.......We have alot of dvd's, i mean ALOT. We have been buying them since 1998 when they first came out. The past few years I havent bought truckloads as I used to, now its only carfulls of dvd's and I am tired of hubby saying 'i cant find this movie' 'i cant see where my money goes' 'i cant see something that is obviously right in front of me'....... yeah that one was good huh?

This is my project for this week...

How many in your DVD collection? We've got about 1,200 or so. I used to buy everything that came out with those great coupons years ago (the early online sites used to have $10 off DVD coupons).

So let us know if those cases work well. I probably don't have as many DVD's, but I'm still running into a serious storage/access problem at this point. I've been replacing all my VHS with DVD's over the last year or so, and the bonus is I save serious space. But now I'm thinking of ditching the jewel cases, and trying something like you've got. Plus right now, I've got them scattered in various drawers, cases, cabinets all over. Having them together in one place is my goal.

We have over 3000, yeah thats alot, I dont call myself a shopaholic for nothing I used 100's of $10 off coupons for dvd's too.........you dont see them now since dvd's and players are not a new thing anymore. Buy.com had a $10 off $30 around Christmas time using Google Checkout and I think i used that about 10 times for various things.




This is what I bought first, but returned because the hinges were not that sturdy(this one holds 1000):



I ended up buying 8 of these(each holds 424 dvds) It was $36 and change including shipping for 4 of these, so I spent about $72 for all 8. I forget the site I bought them from, but they have them on eBay under 'dvd storage case' (careful there are 1,000's of them):









This is what I do. I order boxes from the USPS website, priority mail boxes. Why? They are free with free shipping and the particular size below fits dvd cases PERFECTLY, as you can see in a picture below. I think each shipped box comes with 25 priority boxes.

USPS store link (no charge boxes)

This is the box that I use 12x12x8, again FREE and FREE shipping.

Am I cheap? no i call it frugal I store all of the dvd cases in there and then put the boxes in the attic and TA-DA more room!

I have alot of these boxes in the attic and more dvd cases to be put in boxes as well....Oh yeah another project but i just thought my kids could do that.

This is an example of mine:





I am so guilty of this that it is not even funny


Hope this helps........

I really like this one. I've been looking for something for my dvd's. I have no more room on my shelf for them

I just got back from seeing Knocked Up. It was hilarious - funnier than 40 Year Old Virgin. Very blue humor - my kind of humor, but surprisingly charming and sweet. Katherine Heigl is terrific, Seth Rogen is chubby and endearing, Paul Rudd amazing! Not to mention The Office cameos like Steve, B.J. and Criag. Go see it!

C'mon, you need to have your dvd's on a shelf. Gotta represent. I'm sure everyone who comes into my room is very impressed with my 4 disc Dawn of the Dead boxed set. I don't want to ruin that.

Oh, and ladies, you aren't ****s.

That's the problem. I have all of mine on a book shelf right now- but I don't have anymore room

Yes it does! I'll check out those cases you recommend. Something has to be done! There's just zero chance I'll ever have fewer DVD's. Those cases fit perfectly in those USPS boxes too. Are you sure you're not the one responsible for the most recent rate hike?

I'm going to run into that problem soon. I only have one shelf left. Yet I can't see locking them up in a box.

I have the exact same problem. I have tons of tv shows on DVD which take up a lot of space. I had to resort to placing them over my room, like behind my TV & such. I gotta get an organizer or something.

I just finished watching "Meet Me in St.Louis", which is a marvelous musical. Judy Garland was so charming. The scene where she sang "Have Yourself a Merry Christmas" tugged at my heart strings. However, my favourite scene was where she was dancing with her grandma behind the tree & when she re-emerges she's dancing with John. *So* romantic.

In 2.5 hours TCM will be airing "The Awful Truth" with my all time favourite actor, Cary Grant. I cannot wait as I hear it's a hilarious film.

Aside from Singing in the Rain, Meet Me in St. Louis was one of the first musicals I saw when I was little. I still have it on video- but recently bought the DVD. I love that movie The Awful Truth is a great movie too! I've seen so many Cary Grant movies


*Edit* I just finished watching the movie Lili. It was so cute. Really good

LOL!! The Waterboy always seems to be on every Sunday when I wake up! I was watching it this morning, too! Not my favorite Adam Sandler movie--that would have to be The Wedding Singer. I have seen that a million times AND my husband & I saw it live during its brief Broadway run. We actually went to the third show they ever played and someone got engaged on stage. But anyway, Waterboy is a fine way to start (and probably end) a Sunday!
