Oh, shut up Shaw.
So, I just watched W. Even I know it was very liberal leaning, and I've actually never been a huge fan of Oliver Stone, but the character portrayals were very good. Dreyfuss as Cheney, and the woman who played Condi...spectacular. Also finally watched 13 Conversations About One Thing. It was decent. As always, if you don't like indie/slice of life film you won't like it...but I do, and did. Even Matthew McConaughey was good: not that surfer boy sex symbol thing they always try to portray (he does 'naugh't for me.) Alan Arkin is always good. Clea DuVall was good. Not bad, not the best I've ever seen.

So what DVDs are you watching? Are they better on Wii/DVD/HDTV/PP/Netflix/Hulu/Gulu?
'Cause, like, I might try it someday. I suppose I should first get a bigger than 27 inch TV, probably one in HD, and a Blue-Rae Dawn Chong, and a PiiWii, then invest in some DVDs to pull it all together. Oh, and a stereo system would help. Hell, I won't be able to afford netflix anymore! I'll be like my own Gift of the Magi: I sold my netflix account to buy all the latest toys, and I'll then sell all my latest toys to be able to afford to rent movies. I reallllllyyyy need to find a second income person.

The only difference (BIG!!!) is that I can watch them from the TV in my livingroom...on my comfortable couch!!!! This means that I will do a whole lot more watching. I still have to deal with an interruption or two (like before) because I have ATT's slowest broadband connection (Hey - I only pay $10 a month for it). but, yes, its the same as from the computer. It even has my instant queue. Life is sweet.
Right now I'm catching up on 30 Rock, because I have never even watched an episode before. The same goes for Lost. |

Monsters vs. Aliens is a complete hoot.
And I'm working my way through the digitally remastered Stooges set. Stoogefest is coming, you know! May 1st!

The Wii is connected to the tv with component cables, and to my knowledge, those won't transmit HD content. Having said that, I was very pleasantly surprised with the picture quality I got on my 720p 32" TV watching instant Netflix movies through the Wii connected by wifi to my FIOS connection. |

The last freaking episode of Twin Peaks just pissed me off. I mean, I am not one to need all ends tied into a neat little bow, but good lord give me something!
Onto other things. I re-watched, after years and years of having last seen it, The Little Girl Who Lives Down the Lane. Made in 1976, starring Jodie Foster, Martin Sheen, and Scott Jacoby. I'd forgotten how suspenseful it is.

To Kill a Mockingbird. It is still a great movie, though it was funny how it was always windy and autumn in every shot of Boo Radley's porch
