I hate your fucking "four times a year" restart. This sucks the balls of an
orangutan. When the fuck do you start the new conference so I don't have to
wade through all this CRAP? (which I have not done, anyway, so Phhhhttt!)

Hey, when you're up and about at 2:30 AM, why *not* wade through it?  
You might learn something.

She does have a lot to learn about interacting with people. I bet she is
now considered just another asshole in most users' minds.

She told somebody on mnet that she'd join Grex and cause an uproar 
here.  I think that was her stab at it.  Whatever...

We finally rented Mulholland Drive to find out why everyone we know 
hates it so much.  We found out.  We also rented Murder by Numbers, a 
Sandra Bullock vehicle where she plays The Cop With A Tortured Psyche.  
Gettin' tired of that character, but the movie was mostly watchable.

Well, "Mulholland Drive" is one of my favorite movies of the last
several years.  Seen it twice, will probably watch it again sometime.

For what it's worth.  You may call me weird if you wish.

Hell no.  My "taste" in movies, such as it is, runs to farcical 
comedies and the like.  Listen to him, not me, folks.

Too late. I hated Mulholland Drive too.

But only because I knew you were going to hate it, md. *snort*

Liked "Far From Heaven".  The story is secondary to
the flawless 50's style.

Harry Potter 2 was okay.

(How was John Cleese as the new Q?)

I liked the new Bond movie, Die Another Day, and thought Halle Berry was
terrific in it.  And so was John Cleese as Q.  

Harry Potter 2 was I thought better than Harry Potter 1.   The addition of
the venerable Shakespearean actor Kennth Branagh was a classy touch

John Cleese is in "Die Another Day"?  Hm, I haven't seen a Bond movie
since the 1960s, but Cleese's presence almost tempts me to see the new
one.  Probably won't though.

Cleese is the new Q.

response 211 of 289: Mark Unseen   Nov 26 16:12 UTC 2002

Yes, but it's such an annoying role to have to watch...although less annoying
than in the book, and he did it well.  Amusingly enough, Clees(e) was in
HP2 as well, as Nearly Headless Nick.

not only is John Clees the new Q, but M is now played by the woman considered
the greatest living british stage actress, Dame Judy Dench (who won the best
supporting actor oscar as Queen Elizabeth in Shakespeare in Love)  Pretty
strong casting there!

<oops...should have noted that 211 was in response to previous comment about
Kenneth Branagh, not John Clees.  John Clees is divine, even (maybe 
particularly) when the role calls for making an ass of oneself.>

I guess I'm the only one who wishes that Helen Mirren would've gotten 
the role of M.

"Standing in the Shadows of Motown"

Valuable story about the group of studio musicians who made up the "Motown
sound" back in the 60's, but got little or no credit.  It's great to see the
surviving musicians playing, telling stories, etc, but the re-enactments of
various anecdotes with actors got rather annoying.  

Well worth seeing if you don't know the story, and if you do know the story
it's still worth a peek.

Saw "Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets" this afternoon.   I think they
did a better job with this one; it wasn't as disjointed and jumpy.  They left
out some things, as they needed to, but they got the plot complete.  I liked
it.

BTW, the record store shown early in "Standing in the Shadows of Motown" is
actually Encore Records here in Ann Arbor.

        I, too liked the 2nd Harry Potter.  He got off to school 
and into his adventure much quicker this time.  Well he could, since
we now know his backstory from the first movie.  Passing of seasons
are just a background change to let you know the story is taking up
much of the school year.

Bruce and I liked it quite a bit. The only thing I might have liked was a bit
more of Lockhart's idiocy at school (and I missed his long flowing locks, as
well). What was shown was well-done, but some of the more inane episodes from
teh book were missed.
