It is far better for the truth to tear my flesh to pieces, then for my soul to wander through darkness in eternal damnation.

Jet: So what kind of woman is she? What's Julia like?
Faye: Ordinary. The kind of beautiful, dangerous ordinary that you just can't leave alone.
Jet: I see.
Faye: Like an angel from the underworld. Or a devil from Paradise.

Oh my God, how was Pushing Daises cancelled?  What the fuck is wrong with this country?  It's so fucking good!

The Crow is on. Don't ever do a movie that involves you getting shot. It's bad juju.

So Best Buy has Oliver and Company on BD but not Tangled?  That's so fucked up.

Instead I blew a wad and got Scrooged, Evil Dead, Children of Men, and Hellraiser for an average of like nine bucks apiece.  Merry Christmas!

Do you get some sort of thrill for paying too much for movies?
The medievals were only too right in taking nolo episcopari as the best reason a man could give to others for making him a bishop. Give me a king whose chief interest in life is stamps, railways, or race-horses; and who has the power to sack his Vizier (or whatever you care to call him) if he does not like the cut of his trousers.

Government is an abstract noun meaning the art and process of governing and it should be an offence to write it with a capital G or so as to refer to people.

By what metric are you arguing that's too much?  Do you hate the free market?  (They're BDs, so actually the prices are very competitive.  In any event, about a buck and a half cheaper than what I would've paid at Amazon for the same kaboodle.  And since I pay my taxes unlike the rest of you traitors, that's a real buck and a half, not "a buck and as weighed against the wages of crime.")

Edit: of course, what I meant was, I like to treat myself. :)

Has anyone seen the bridge, the tunnel and/or the American one?
I'm thinking of trying one but no clue which....  Normally I'm a purist but... Americans have better production values and Brits more of a real feel...
I don't normally like cop shows too much though.....

I saw the 1935 film The Tunnel.  I lavished the praise demanded by a work of such salutary value for our two nations' young people. :)

RIPD- fun movie. Not quite up to Ghostbusters or Men in Black levels, but pretty enjoyable.

American virgin- hello unfunny 10 years too late attempt to cash in on American pie

Puff puff pass- quasi amusing stoner comedy starring two guys who I sort if recognize but couldn't place why. I think the black dude is the one off scrubs?... Maybe?... The white guy I've no idea where I know him from.
And yes, it is easy to check, but meh

There are a lot cooler movies on Youtube.  Last I checked Scanners was still on there.  Duel, too--Spielberg's finest picture.
