I was surprised that the move was only 93 minutes, it seemed to go on for hours. Very slow pacing.

I watched, Wall street:Money Never Sleeps.

It was original enough. There were a couple of parts where the acting was glaringly bad but I still liked it.

My favorite part was the soundtrack. Maybe that raised the whole film up a few notches.
What is annoying is the soundtrack being sold doesn't include all of the songs from the movie.

Johnny Dangerously is one of my favorite watch again movies.

I've seen The Polar Express and Despicable Me recently.

Love the minions.

We tried to watch The Big Chill. What a pile of pants! Sooooo Slow. Was it really the classic they reckon? Or is that just round here because it features U of M grads?

The recent outdoor hockey game in the Big house ws named after this movie. Why? we wonder....

The Big Chill was very much a product of the self-absorbed 80s, targeting people who had focused on themselves so much that life had passed them by. It always surprised me that they never bothered to reflect on the possibility that the dude killed himself because he realized he had such a lame-ass bunch of friends.

Baby boomers working hard at their baby boomer selves for their baby boomer audience with their baby boomer soundtrack.

OMG, I just saw these posts on The Big Chill.

SRSLY! I remember my ex (10 years my senior) thought it was wonderful. I'm like "omg what a bunch of nimrods...and yeah RIGHT we're such good friends I'm going to let you fuck my husband." (cue to bemused loving soooo sacrificing face of Glenn Close.) UGH.

And typically, I like ensemble acting and movies like that. I suppose someone younger than me would probably laugh their ass off at St Elmo's Fire (of course, I rewatched that a few months ago and it was pretty silly in retrospect.)

I liked the SNL spoof where Glenn Close is downstairs and her husband and whoever he was trying to impregnate bounced the bedsprings for, like, HOURS. Wish I could find a clip.

I blame the snow.

The snow and that I was in a happy french toast afterglow. I bought bread, milk, and eggs, what else was I to do?

And it's a free Showtime weekend from Comcast.

I watched Eclipse.

I am now watching Inglorious Basterds in hopes of regaining my sense of self.

I watched the end of Inglourious Basterds. I do like Q.T. but didn't know if I would like this particular movie. I wish I had seen all of it now.

I thought Brad Pitt, by his very character was somewhat of a comic relief. I don't know if this was intentional or not. Probably was.
