That's interesting. I never actually considered Law as a villain while watching. The big debate I had was whether or not the drug did have sleepwalking aggression as a side effect.

The thing that cracks me up in Jiro Dreams of Sushi is when the fanboy food critic is talking about Jiro in the restaurant. Jiro's small facial reactions are the best.

Love "Cards Against Humanity"! Last time I played we got a double blank that read "And the award for _______ goes to ________". I proudly won the hand with "And the award for being a dick to children goes to the terrorists". True story.

Man, I watched Camp Nowhere way too many times as a kid. I loved the idea of one adult going to all the parents to create viable excuses for the kids to do whatever they wanted.

Liked for Perd Hapley!

Watched:
*Life and Death of Colonel Blimp- More and more I find the war time English films to be fascinating. They seem to have the history and the pride in England without the exceptionalism that accompanies most of the American films from that era that I've seen. It's more of a laid back patriotism. Still morale…

I appreciate the effort to avoid spoilers. I haven't read the "Red Wedding" part in the books but I found out a little of what happened just by cultural osmosis. I know who dies but not how.

Sorry to hear that. That is a sad adjustment to make. Were you following along before that? Have you read the books?

Yes, but I'm a season behind because I've been watching on DVD. Have you kept up with it?

lol, Nope, it was not part of the book-reading plan. Totally unplanned but they share similar themes…I guess(?). It happens with random movie rentals too. There was one weekend where I watched The Yards and Miller's Crossing back to back and both of those films have random family-lovin' sub-plots moments, too.…

Ah, yes, the rain. We've been hit with the rain too but when it's not raining it's been insanely humid. I'll take the rain if it breaks the humidity. :)

lol, They are officially on the "to read" list. :) Actually, I need to power through the book I'm working on now so I can work on the two piles of books I have waiting. Reading takes so much longer than watching films lol.

I've heard his short stories are great. I haven't actually read any of them but I should, considering how many of them have been turned into films in the past. I've heard "Nightmares and Dreamscapes" is great as well. Of the short story collections, which did you like the best? 

"Mom, I told you not to bother me when I'm cleaning my room!"

I feel like if "I'm Still Here" taught us anything, it's that Phoenix can grow some epic facial hair when needed.

That's interesting, because when I watched "Lars…" I thought that Joaquin would have been interesting in that role. I guess he got there, eventually.

Cool. I love the northeast! I actually just got back from Boston a few weeks ago. As it's a bit landlocked here, it's great to be out on/by the water.

lol yeah, there are actually three mainstream rental places and an art house theater with a rental store attached here. It's that mid-western time warp thing. I appreciate it, though, as I would otherwise be spending insane amounts of money on films.

It's how well thought out the author made their world. Fantastical and mystical elements are fine but I don't love crazy gadgets or alien worlds just for the sake of making a story fit a particular genre.

I could see that. There is something fun about finding the progressive people in different time periods. It's a cool reminder that people are generally the same…unless they go to the next level in which case they're just intense about their cause. Have you heard of/read about Benjamin Lay? He was a Revolutionary-Era…
