It's a remake of a Preston Sturges-written movie, starring Rex Harrison, which is probably better. Yet I have no desire to find out.

dgl, I saw Unfaithfully Yours when I was in high school. It was pretty unmemorable, and I don't recall Albert Brooks at all (though at the time I had never heard of him). I guess it wasn't a bad movie overall, but I was expecting more Arthur, as was probably everyone else.

Isn't the Scorpio episode the one where Marge has nothing to do, so she starts…DRINKING??? DAH dun DAAAAAA!!!! I loved that.

I was about 12 when Jonestown happened, and my parents belonged to church which had definite 70's cult-like aspects. It didn't much affect me at the time but now I sometimes have dreams that I wake up in Jonestown. They are not good dreams.

But, magic is fun! We're dead.

Don't know what that shark's gonna do with all that equipment, eat it I suppose. I saw one eat a rocking chair once. [favorite line, love his matter-of-fact delivery, almost stream-of-consciousness]

I've been getting together with friends for a year or so to watch DS from the beginning. We're not quite up to the Barnabas storyline, but it's getting pretty awesome. Yeah it's a daytime serial, with the attendant limitations, but it's very imaginative, sometimes very creepy. Like any soap, there's a lot of

Juanito, you do know that JAWS won the Oscar for Best Sound, right? It was definitely recognized for its sound design and editing, and in mono no less. When the first letterboxed DVD and VHS were released in 2000 there was some stink because only a remixed stereo track was available. I think current DVD releases

Geogreg, NOOOOO kidding. Nothing can touch the immortal SueAnn Nivens (and odds are, nothing did, know what I mean? Mary, THAT'S not rejection. Rejection is getting all dressed up for a date and the man never shows).

Yeah "Dreamin' my Dreams" is all kinds of wow. I first heard it sung by Cowboy Junkies and liked it a lot, then years later heard the original. WOW!

I had high hopes for "Down With Love" and just couldn't take it. The omnipresent music! The too-rapid cutting! I found it really inferior to it's antecedents such as "Pillow Talk", much like "Far From Heaven" is a "phony" (yes, I said it) "All That Heaven Allows".

Oh. Ok.

Aw manic girl you beat me to it. I was logging in just to say the same thing.

I read somewhere that the only concrete thing David Lynch would say toward explaining Mulholland Drive was something like "A part of the film is clearly a dream, and a part of the film clearly is not a dream". The quote may not be exact, but it was that clear. Me, the part up until the cowboy tells her it's time to

Wait.

Ah but Benicio, you've always been sex on wheels! I'd like to see that Cera guy say "BISTEK!" with half as much oomph.

Tecumseh…I' love all movies, could name twenty movies off the top of my head made before 1960 that are just awesome. Somehow, and I don't understand why, CASABLANCA I just don't get. It's ok. I've seen it many times, even on a big screen. It's ok. I'd watch it again though.

Awesome.
My first triple-post, and a badly-written one too.

First fight
An old boyfriend's and my first fight which devolved into, yes, "It was STUPID when Spock died!" "NO, it was STUPID when YODA died!". We were full-grown adults at the time and yes liquor was involved.
