What are you watching this evening?

Whoo-hoo! I got lucky and found Lewis Black on Broadway at my small-town video store. Between that and Best of the Chris Rock Show Volume 2, I'm surely in for a giggle or two.

:7

;) :hi:

but man oh man... Clooney is HOT.

I really like this program because it showcases people helping people and rebuilding/revitalizing small American towns.

If I hadn't devoured them all last night, I'd also sit down and watch six episodes of "I'll Fly Away", one of the best American dramas ever produced for television.

And you are right,it's one of the best ever.

:)

which I don't get. A fellow Sam Waterston fan tapes them for me and sends them to me-we Sam fans stick together! Personally, I think it is among Sam's best work, and is head and shoulders above the series he's done since.

a Sam Waterston fan since "the Killing Fields" and I'm a Law & Order junkie.

It won't be the same without Jerry Ohrbach,though.

Good Life, but they are changing it to American Life. They have shown all the first season and are playing the second season now.

Since you are a SW junkie, I invite you to check out my site. There's a link to the All Things Waterston message board, where the latest on Sam is posted.

Bookmarked and all set!

I LOVE MARCH MADNESS!:bounce:

It just arrived via Netflix today.

Looks like a hoot.

I am not sure... going to run to the store in a little while, rent a movie (as I said, hopefully the Aviator)... either than the rented movie, we are going to watch Natural Born Killers and Aqua Teen Hunger Force DVDS~ :)

...but it's a new one...! :D

And ALL Bruce Campbell movies are bad, but in a good way!

I rented the Paul Neuman classic a couple of days ago. I've never seen it though I have seen bits and pieces from the sequel "Color of Money." It looks good.

and a satirical UK journalist in a chat show on the box. John Travolta's a hilarious character with his planes, isn't he?

They showed a couple of clips from Pulp Fiction and another film, with him and Uma Thurman dancing. The one in Pulp Fiction just seems sensational to me. I've always thought the Flamenco and the Tango were very sensual dances, but the dance they did was unbelievable. and the song they danced to was just perfect for it, too.

For sheer exhuberance it was the dance equivalent of one of the wilder songs of Jerry Lee Lewis or Little Richard. Though, in the film, itself, I also saw I think a slower dance, or maybe part of the same dance, in which the movements of Uma's hands were extraordinarily slinky and sensual; not just very comical, as in the clip this evening, where they both draw their hands across their face, as if they're pugnaciously peeping out... which was hysterical. Or I thought it was, until they started pumping with their arms as if they were running fiercely on the spot. And that looked sensationally funny.

Thinking about it afterwards, it occurred to me that, in its crazy vivacity, maybe that dance was probably as uniquely American as anything else I've ever seen. Apart maybe from the most brilliant chopper bikes!

I want to record the film next time it's on, just so that I can see that dance again. The old jitterbug seems quite pedestrian in comparison, and the funny thing is there was no physical contact between them in it. There seemed something of the originality of the African Americans and the French in it, and something of the Hispanics' flair for sensual dancing. Yet it was, it seemed to me unmistakably US American.

Gilbert and Sullivan

As soon as I can tear myself away from the computer, I'm going to read my book. The kids are asleep and my husband is doing homework.

And Upstairs Downstairs, which is not a comedy, but British.

Stanley Kubrick was a fucking genius.

Then again: when watching the movie, I always have the nagging feeling that Kubrick wanted a bad actor for the role.

On Edit: the bad actor thing fits in nicely with making the movie fullscreen.

with Judy Garland and Fred Astaire.. fabulous!

Or "Strayed" according to the english title. Emmanuelle Béart and kids fleeing Paris during WWII. A German plane strafes and bombs the refugees on the road. Their car is destroyed. They flee the road with some weird young bloke and hunker down in an abandoned house.

I see a lot of DUers have been rather passionate about it, though.

Basketball? :shrug:

Then I'll have to sit through another episode of Deperate Housewives with my mom or I might just head off to bed cause I have school for the first time in a week.

The agents attempt to determine who or what is causing the souls of the dead to reappear at a railway station, during Easter 1913.

A wonderfully chilling story, made in 1978. The stuff that the producers of the X Files must have noticed. Only S&S is far more innovative.
