Buckwild epilogue

Never did finish all 8 movies. At best, we usually see a movie a week so I’m not quite sure why we though we could increase that eightfold. Alas. Thoughts on the rest of what we saw:

The Big Easy – Saw this about ten or twelve years ago and remembered not finding it that sexy (and this was at a time when even the word Regina made me randy.) Turns out I didn’t miss anything the first time around. Sure, he calls her cher and touches her pumpkin, but once that’s done not a memorable scene or line follows.

The Faulty Towers Pilot – I wish I’d seen more episodes because it must get funnier. I felt a tremendous pressure to enjoy it, sort of like watching The Office for the first time (and like The Office, I’m sure it’s a riot by the third episode.) The audience killed it for me a little bit. They were just so eager: “That’s John Cleese! Ha! Brilliant! He’s was in Python, yeah? Christ, that’s funny! So funny I’ll fucking scream laughter—HAHAHAHAHA!”

You have no sense of humour. You bastard.

Well I think you have a wonderful sense of humour. The part about Regina was great!

No. I think Mr. Fawlty is right. He has no sense of humour.

First you say you brought home seven movies, then it's suddenly eight at your next entry.

So now you ruined The Aviator for me and you're a filthy liar.

I still hate you.

I should add...

... that two people were instrumental in my joining Twitter. First, Isha . She sent out an article on it when the application was still brand new. (And I remember thinking, "Screw that noise. Like I need more online commitments.) Second was Rebecca . She joined up just a short while ago, claiming she hadn't met a bandwidth she didn't like . (And then she disappeared entirely from the internets .) It looked nice and pretty over there on her sidebar, and then I got a little jealous. The rest: history. And for those unobservant among you ( Jorge ), the Twitter feed is right there on my sidebar, replacing the old Radio 3 player that I loved, but that I think scared the bejezus out of a lot of people. Also, everyone should join Twitter. I'm needing some diversions , people.
Change Two: Drink More Water Such a simple thing, yet something I just can't seem to find the time to do. About the only water I drink in your average day is whatever sweat happens to trickle off my mustache. Hydration (so the smart people tell me) is a good thing. I'm less fatigued when I drink water. I'm less hungry when I drink water. I'm even less grumpy when I drink water. I promise you nothing especially impressive. Eight glass a day ain't gonna happen. I'm shooting for two on average; two trendy, metallic, not gonna bleed Bisphenol A into my system bottles of water. I know were off to a rip-roaring start, what with the list-making and the hydration, but I'll try to get crazier with future changes. Stuff like: go to work drunk more, and buy a pair of leather pants. For now, let me ease into it.

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.
