I had a similar experience. My parents played Beatles albums a lot when I was a kid, but they never cared for The White Album so I wasn't that familiar with it. I first heard it when I was about 20 and I fell in love with it. I know it is completely absurd to claim that you "discovered" a Beatles album, but that's…

"Double Indemnity"?
What the hell does "Double Indemnity" have to do with anything? Is it just because of the insurance connection? Can I now say "I got a great insurance rate by switching to Geico. It's just like "Double Indemnity"? I'm really not getting his analogy.

I think Kevin McKidd (from "Rome) is playing the groom. IMDB didn't list him as such, but seeing that he is listed forth in the credits I think it's a pretty good guess. Based on this new information I'm going to go with stuck up louse. I'd still pick him over Dempsey though.

Or else she was born of sea foam and Paglia's testicle blood.

I guess I can see that but watch The Center of the World and get back to me. Sarsgaard and Gyllenhaal: two actors who take their clothes off a lot. Match made in heaven.

Peter Sarsgaard
Kinsey? The Center of the World? He and Maggie Gyllenhaal make a good couple.

I still find the waffle bit in The Ladykillers pretty funny.

ping pong
I loved Pam and Kelly's lame, anticlimactic ping pong match.
It could have gone on another minute for me.

Yeah, well The New Yorker liked Troy. I'll never forgive them for that. And, based on his review I think David Denby walked out of Kill Bill vol. 1 after the first 15 minutes. Who reviewed No Country for Old Men, Denby or Lane?

lurker- I know how you feel. It seems like just saw that movie for the first time the other day even though I was nine at the time. However, I don't really feel much older than the nine. Shouldn't I get some wisdom or something as I age? Isn't that how it's supposed to work?

Huh.
For some reason I feel like watching The Princess Bride now. How did that happen?

The deicide doesn't happen until the third book, which is a total unfilmable mess (though a good mess). It also has gay angels, (implied) pre-pubescent sex, and a nun that renounces the church and becomes a scientist.

We are actually 30 pounds heavier but we got stuck on the towel rack.

the gauging station
Was anyone else disappointed that they didn't show the gauging station that was a few miles away? That fact really got to me the first time I read the book. It would have been a good way to counterbalance the slightly mawkish aspects of the last half hour (although I was very pleased with the…

I agree. The book didn't give me the impression that the Dad
was physically violent. However, I think the parents were part of the movie making process, so maybe there is some truth to that scene?

Parking garages
Parking garages are inherently terrifying. (Especially if you've seen that Sopranos episode.) You'd have to work pretty hard to make this premise unscary. So kudos to the director, I guess.

Nothing to add…
I just wanted to say the comments for this one are insanely funny. Keep it going.

AND YOUR WHOLE CRUMMY AIRLINE!!!!!

The Descent
Weren't those things in the Descent technically C.H.U.D.s? With this remake and the Descent sequel we're on the cusp of a C.H.U.D. renaissance. (Or "naissance". Was there every a C.H.U.D. period in film history? I mean you have to be born before you can be reborn.)

Good point. I'm glad I'm not the only one who interpreted that part of Amber Spyglass that way. I had to read it for a class and I said "Did anyone else get the impression that Lyra and Will, um, had sex?". No else one did.
