Second Question:

Do you have any suggestions for next year's movie marathon?

'The Notebook' (because we ladies need to be represented a little)

'Lucky Number Slevin' (I just watched this in the theater, and it was FREAKING AWESOME)

'Charlie and the Chocolate Factory' (the new one with Johnny Depp - because I loved the old one, and never thought I'd like the remake - and instead I LOVED it)

And I will be at the next movie marathon, by the way. As long as you remember to send an invitation down this way.

Dude.

I send you suggestions all the time.

We will keep them our little secret, though.
;)

Because that's what we do with anything.

Although, Brokeback Mountain comes to mind for some reason...

Two (maybe three) of these are unabashedly chick-ish. But classics. The others just rock:

'The Philadelphia Story'

'All the president's men'

'Dave Chapelle's Block party'

'Tootsie'

'Shall we Dance' (the original Japanese one)

'Being John Malkovich'

I already told you this at trivia, Dave, but here it is again for future reference:

"Sweet Sweetback's Baad Asssss Song"

1. It has a great name.
2. It will go well with your choice of "Dolemite".
3. In a social and historical context, this movie is important as the first movie made by non-whites for a non-white audience, and Melvin Van Peebles paved the way for independent filmmaking in the 1970s.
4. It's rated X.

Barry, nice to see you have a one track mind.

And that you can count.

Love,

Dude, Brick rocked my world.
If you don't include it in your next movie marathon, I may have to not go.
I mean... it seems really fuckin' unlikely, but I may have to not go.

Also, Memento.

Come to think of it, you should just leave the whole selection up to me. I'll fix that mofo up right with the ass-kickinest movies ever.

Discuss Amongst Yourselves - January 30th, 2006

In case you don’t read my comments (and if not, you’re nuts cause that’s where all the good stuff is), Courtney has just declared herself movie illiterate. So, if you had to recommend five essential movies that everyone should see, what would they be? Let me stress: only five. For those of you with break-the-rules tendencies (like--I dunno--just picking a name out of the air... Jorge ?), your comment gets chucked out. Give’r.

A complex phrase, in which the various parts are enchained

“Barry,” my cousin Mike said, “I think it’s time.” It was clear that my brother didn’t feel the same way, but he only shrugged, which Mike took as agreement. “Dave,” he said, giving the words as much gravity as he could muster, “Go get the dictionary.” I was nine years old, and a tag-along. I’d walked in on my brother telling a story about how—during school that morning—a girl he knew got her period in the middle of French class. And I laughed like the dickens. And then they called me on it. After I’d lugged the dictionary down from the spare room, Mike told me to look up the word period and read out the definition. “The end of a cycle, a series of events, or a single action?” “Keep going,” he said. “The full pause with which a sentence closes?” “Not that.” “An interval of geologic—“ “Gimme that!” He yanked the book towards him, read down the page, and pointed me towards the definition he’d found.
