(Given that "Lost In Space" premiered in 1965, why would anyone in the 50s
know anything about it?)

This isn't a review; it's pure speculation.
I'm not saying "Varsity Blues" will necessarily be bad. But let's take a
look at its pedigree...
* Produced by MTV Films, whose previous credits include "Joe's Apartment"
and "Dead Man On Campus".
* Directed by Brian "Eric From Head Of The Class" Robbins, whose last film
was "Good Burger".
* Possible mitigating factor is Jon Voight. Although he has some impressive
roles behind him ("Deliverance", "Midnight Cowboy", "Catch 22") he's not
immune to the occasional serious misstep ("Anaconda", "Eternity", "The
All-American Boy").

Why must I always hit the post button before I'm ready??
My little brother loved "Good Burger"
I want to go see "You've Got Mail" Anyone have any opinions?
I pride myself on the fact that I STILL haven't seen Titanic. Plot
summary (from what I can tell) 2 people meet on unsinkable big boat. 2
people fall in love. Boat sinks.

You've Got Mail was pretty good, as a romantic comedy. It wasn't the geek
flick that I expected, but that's probably a good thing.

Consensus between sekari, phenix, allida, maeve, and I was that You've
Got Mail would be unwatchable by us for a myriad of reasons, most of
which relate to our occupance of grex and the various social
entanglements that tend to go on around here.

hey, I liked Joe's Apartment. It was guilty fun. We all can't be high minded
and arty all the time. Lighten up.

At first, the main reason I didn't see Titanic was that it didn't interest
me. Then, when everyone kept gushing about it and pledging slavish adoration,
I stayed away.
Omni: I love dumb-fun movies! But dumb movies aren't necessarily fun, and the
few minutes I spent watching "Joe's Apartment" on TV convinced me I could be
doing something a lot more fun. Without that movie, I may never have done my
taxes.

Sometimes you need the dumb movies. Nothing like simple gross humor to make
you feel better.
Dumb movies are great, so are chick flicks. (though chick flicks are
dangerious cos I seem to rent a large quanitity of them and watch them all
in one sitting, feeling sad and depressed and sobby afterwards... which is
always cleansing)

I define a chick flick as any movie in which no cars or buildings blow
up.

Titanic was a chick flick. Do sinking ships count? Sleepless in
Seattle was a postmodern chick flick: it said, "Look, see how silly
chick flicks are, and the chicks who bawl over them? Okay, now
we're going to make . . . a chick flick."

(My favorite scene in "Sleepless in Seattle" was the guys waxing
sentimental over "The Dirty Dozen".)

I have still managed to escape seeing Sleepless In Seattle. Even though
it has taken up residence in my house and gets regular rotation in our
video player.

Congrats, senna! Have you also managed to avoid Titanic?
The best movie I've seen recently is The Game. Excellent,
and definitely not a chick flick...

"Thelma and Louise" was a great chick flick. I especially
like the part where they blow up the tractor trailor rig. ;-)

Thelma and Louise is a fantasy chick flick. Different genre.

I saw and enjoyed Titanic on opening night. Alone.
