BYOB – Apolitical

Yeah… we’re almost there.
No… I’m not going to stop just because we’re close.
Yeah… by the end of next week, you will see the last political post in here for a long while.

    On the contrary. The moment this is over, the topic will shift to the other race: Oscar.

    Has anyone purchased one of those Roku boxes to stream netflix films? Looking into putting one on my christmas list but want to know how well they work.

    It’s like that song from Halloween #: Season of the Witch: “5 more days until movie talk, movie talk. 5 more days until movie talk, movie talk.”
    You get the idea.

    Gotta love Megaplex Theatres in Utah. First they show the wrong movie to an audience expecting HSM3. Then they ban “Zack and Miri” because of the title.
    Family values indeed.

    Hcat: Buddy of mine has the Roku and loves it. Me, I’m just happy that starting Monday, Netflix will allow streaming for Mac OS users such as myself.

    Can’t believe they are actually remaking this, and that Sam Jackson is playing Sho ’nuff.

    I rewatch the original every few years and it’s still mildly fun in a Beastmaster, Return of Captain Invicible vein. The funniest part is a two line role from William Macy.

    THREE. MORE. WEEKS.
    TWILIGHT = 55 OPENING DAY, 125 WEEKEND.
    BIGGEST MOVIE IN THE HISTORY OF CINEMA DROPS IN THREE WEEKS, and everyone is unprepared.

    Obviously I didn’t stroke your ego enough re: cinematography and color timing, so it had to come back to this garbage.

“One of the things I wish I could do in my life would be to watch this film through somebody else’s eyes. I just can’t. I still see it as just a giant mess, and other people are seeing that it has a shape. That’s really exciting, because I still have a hard time seeing it clearly.”
~ Sarah Polley’s Greatest Wish About Stories We Tell

“Anyway, Hitchcock eventually saw a rough cut of High Anxiety. He enjoyed it. But he said nothing after it. He just left. I [thought he] wasn’t happy. The next day, about 11 o’clock in the morning, I get this enormous, beautiful case of Chateau Haut-Brion 1961. That was almost 20 years old [at the time]. I mean, it was priceless. And there were magnums six of them, in a wooden case. Haut-Brion. I mean, oh my God. I’ve still got three of them left waiting. I keep all the good wines.”

“A real, real occasion. I won’t drink it just because it’s a family occasion. I’ll drink it with guys that know what a good wine is and care about, you know, exquisite wines. I have a couple of friends that know what a good wine is.”
