I saw Narnia last Fri. night. It was good. Nothing spectacular. I don't think it's as good as any of the LOTR movies. Maybe it's cause I know the story so well, due to my extensive Christian schoolin' and book learnin'. Probably won't go see it again, because I have to see Syriana and KONG yet. The KONG is my king, screw Aslan.
Hey, so we got any Lost fans in the house? How about these new episodes? Everyone on the island's starting to loose it. Sides are being drawn. Alliances are being formed. Limes are being put with coconuts and being drank all up I'm anxious to see how it all ends this season. I really think someone from the cast needs to join The Others. Loch perhaps. I NEED to know more about these crazy cats. Having someone join them would push that storyline along. I like where it's going now though. Much darker, less lovey-dovey crap. Except for Hurley, he needs to hook up with that girl from Titus. Anybody know what I'm talking about?
As long as there is one other person here who cares, I'm starting a Lost thread.
I've actually rewatched some Bonnaroo stuff recently (the Krewe of Roo DVD is actually the best thing they've done) and watched Jules and Jim by Francois Truffaut over the weekend. I can see why its considered a classic, but the end left me a little cold. Its a pretty remarkable film, and quite watchable as "old foreign films" go.
I finally figured out how to do an avatar and threw up a Buster Keaton picture. He's my favorite filmmaker and I've been watching him a bit lately.
Before that, I had four days of my life flushed down the toilet when a friend brought over XBox 360 to check it out on my big fancy TV. He then left it at my house because he "needed to get some stuff done this week". Needless to say, I accomplished nothing for the four days it lived with me (evil, demonic box). It makes purdy pictures on the the TV reals good.
Watched Party Monster the other day -- not great, but after watching the "Party Monster Shockumentary," I was impressed with how well the movie version was cast.
Watched Bottle Rocket last night....has anybody seen this? It's Wes Anderson's first movie (I believe it is also the film debut of both Luke and Owen Wilson). It's pretty good for an early effort -- I'd say definitely worth watching.

For my money, Wes Anderson=the best director currently working within the Hollywood system. All four of his films are masterpieces in my book. I mean c'mon, the guy used Seu Jorge singing David Bowie songs in Portuguese as a major framing device in a Bill Murray movie. Beat that Scorsesee!
Although all of his films share plenty of themes and stylistic traits, I think each is really unique, and I could make an argument for any of the four being his best. For Bottle Rocket: It's his simplest and most straightforward movie, and the most "realistic" (certainly a relative term for Anderson). The love story is really well done, and is probably the sweetest, most good-natured sub-plot in any of his films.
"Who is that man?" "That's Applejack Kumar! Keep up the intensity!"

Oh my god! I had no idea that was who that was! Know I have to add someone else to my must see list!

i'm really diggin' this white stripes cd my boyfriend burned from on demand (under black pool lights) -- jack white singing Jolene makes me want to cry!
I saw V for Vendetta, on the IMAX, on Sat. Really good movie. I'm suprised Bush and the religious right, haven't tried to ban it yet. That would be perfect. It's very well acted and a very interesting comic adaptation. I'll probably go see it again whilst it's in the theaters.
I got The Squid and the Whale this week and watched it, for the first time. It's really short. Like an hour and 20 mins. It was good, wasn't as funny as I thought it would be. I gotta watch it again, cause I think I missed some interesting tidbits. Definately worth seeing though.
Yeah I saw V for Vendetta recently and I thought it was great. As my girlfriend said "it's movies like this that make me want to go to the movies more often."
Wife and I have finally jumped on the bandwagon and started The Sopranos from Season 1. I was always skeptical of it because I'm not very fond of the "mafia" genre, and was underwhelmed by a random episode or two I caught, but damn was I wrong (I prefer the first 5 or 6 episodes I watched to all of the Godfather/Goodfellas etc. movies put together).
I also recently picked up The Iron Giant (which can be had for $10 most places these days) after really enjoying the Incredibles a few months ago. The Iron Giant fully deserves the reputation it's grown as an instant classic, near-perfect kids movie that was wrongly ignored on initial release. Great spooky atmosphere, characterization of the main kid and offbeat humor in the beginning, goosebumpy, hair stands up on the back of your neck thrills in the middle, and an ending that had my wife and I bawling. Its a simple movie that doesn't aim for much more than telling a great story, but it's a home run in that department.
Of course May means TV sweeps and me watching more TV than I should/used to. New 24 and Lost episodes throughout the month will have my attention (meekly confesses...I watch some American Idol sometimes to....). At the end of May I think I'm going to throw my TV out the window.

Ka, that is just sooooo pathetic: two adults crying over a robot?!? OK, OK, I admit I too...but just a little, damnit!
