Malthus

The object of life is not to be on the side of the majority, but to escape finding oneself in the ranks of the insane—Marcus Aurelius

Josephus

Civis Romanus Sum<br /><br />"My friends, love is better than anger. Hope is better than fear. Optimism is better than despair. So let us be loving, hopeful and optimistic. And we'll change the world." Jack Layton 1950-2011

Finally decided to bite the bullet and watch Cloverfield.  Thank God for Verizon On Demand...after FFing through the first 20 minutes of useless party chatter, it was still wholly underwhelming.  Blair Witch meets Godzilla meets 9/11.  Meh.

Caught up on about 4 episodes of TiVo'd Barney Miller.  Fucking WGN stopped showing WKRP In Cincinnatti.

Hulu has some of it, including the Thanksgiving episode.
PDH!

Savonarola

Wandering Ginza Butterfly

The lovely Meiko Kaji stars as a former gang leader who tries to go straight after leaving prison; but the Yakuza just won't leave her alone.   :(  So she kills them all with a sword.

Wandering Ginza Butterfly 2: She Cat Gambler

The lovely Meiko Kaji stars as a former gang leader who seeks revenge on her father's killer.  She runs afoul of the Yakuza again but (what luck!) their leader is the man who killed her father.  So she kills them all with a sword, this time with the help of Sonny Chiba.

In Italy, for thirty years under the Borgias, they had warfare, terror, murder and bloodshed, but they produced Michelangelo, Leonardo da Vinci and the Renaissance. In Switzerland, they had brotherly love, they had five hundred years of democracy and peace—and what did that produce? The cuckoo clock

I am, somehow, less interested in the weight and convolutions of Einstein's brain than in the near certainty that people of equal talent have lived and died in cotton fields and sweatshops.

Ace Ventura

Dan Marino should die and rot in hell.

A perfect movie for the first NFL sunday of the season.  :)

Usually that's Any Given Sunday for me. Al Pacino saves the movie from Oliver Stone's directing.

Of course there's also VARSITY BLUES. :bleeding:

(I once had to tape it for a female coworker who's a fan of Van Der Beek).

I already prep for College ball with The Program and Rudy.  Those were last week.

The NFL?  Just watch the NFL Network and their 24 hour constant Patriots-Steelers slavish cockslurping coverage.
  That's all the motivation I need.

District 9.  You know, it might be the best movie I've seen this summer.

Really, there have only been 3 great movies this summer, and they're all very different.  Inglorious Basterds traps you into thinking that it's just a war movie, but it's really rather arty.  District 9 is a simple story that you've seen in a million action movies, and then puts a twist on it, combined with amazing effects and an exotic locale.  And then there's Up, which is another very well-done children's film from Pixar.
I do not hate you, nor do I love you, but you are made out of atoms which I can use for something else.

Never On Sunday :wub:

Any Given Sunday was on about 2 weeks ago.

I like football, but this movie is fucking terrible. What's the big hoopla with you guys? Pacino has a few good scenes, but overall the dialogue and acting is just awful.

Yeah, I don't get it, either.  Totally useless and overrated film.  Of course, it's an Oliver Stone production, so there you have it.
