Can I have a movie marathon suggestion? Anyone?  :)

Showa era Gamera movies.  Rock solid entertainment, though you can skip Gamera: Super Monster, as it is predominately stock footage.
Good choice. Gamera had some good movies.  Was it Destoryah?
PDH!

I thought the Postman was alrightish, not great but certainly watchable. And Waterworld likewise was decent.

Destroy All Planets (Gamera vs. Viras) is really great.  That shit is off the wall.

Destoroyah is a Godzilla antagonist, the oxygen destroyer used in the first film made manifest, in the form of a crab thing.

My favorite Godzilla kaiju is Gigan.  Cyclopean zappy eye?  Sawblade chest?  Meathook hands?  You betcha.

"Obviously not a Berkut-commanded armored column.  They're not all brewing."- CdM

"We've reached one of our phase lines after the firefight and it smells bad—meaning it's a little bit suspicious... Could be an amb—".

Gamera fought the parasite monster didn't he? That was some fucked up shit.


Saw The Muppets. It was good.
PDH!

Boardwalk Empire Season finale. Didn't see that coming.

Sunday's Homeland perpetuated the 20th Maine propaganda.   :yuk:
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.

What are you talking about?
I've given it serious thought. I must scorn the ways of my family, and seek a Japanese woman to yield me my progeny. He shall live in the lands of the east, and be well tutored in his sacred trust to weave the best traditions of Japan and the Sacred South together, until such time as he (or, indeed his house, which will periodically require infusion of both Southern and Japanese bloodlines of note) can deliver to the South it's independence, either in this world or in space.  -Lettow April of 2011

Raz is right. -MadImmortalMan March of 2017

A Christmas Carol with Alistair Sim. i must have watched this movie 35 to 40 times and i still love it.
Being lazy is bad; unless you still get what you want, then it's called "patience".
Hubris must be punished. Severely.

Is Grimm any good?
Good at being crap.
It's like Buffy or Angel, without the clever writing and the surfeit of babes.
oooo....k....
I'll pass, thansk :)
I don't do meditation.  I drink alcohol to relax, like normal people.

Finally watched Michael Clayton after catching flack from my movie buff buddy that I'd never seen it before.  Quite good.   Very grey feeling.
"Everything that brought you here -- all the things that made you a prisoner of past sins -- they are gone. Forever and for good. So let the past go... and live."

"Somebody, after all, had to make a start. What we wrote and said is also believed by many others. They just don't dare express themselves as we did."
