Movies (duplicate thread)
I know this really should go in the television thread, but you know what has been full of nudity lately?
The Wire. We've seen two different penises this season and about 782 boobs.

It's pretty shocking nudity, too, 'cause we get used to these people at work, being serious. Then they come home and get all nudey. Or sometimes they have been having sex at work, like the mayor with his in office blow job.

Interesting, but wtf was that site, RA? It had about 423 java flash ads going on all over the place. Nearly shut my flock right on down.

I'm not beating him up. He's not worth my time, Heidi. But I'd appreciate it if you kicked him in the balls.
Speaking of kickball and other childhood sports teams, I recently joined the Facebook group "Barton Elementary from the 70s and 80s." It's awesome. My sister reminded me we used to play a version in gym class called
"Butts Up"
Where we all lined up facing the wall and the other team took turns throwing balls. Or something. Her memory, not mine.

We watched Benjamin Button last night. It reminded me a bit of Amelie. Gorgeous colors, scenery, setting. They did a great job with a weird premise.
Sadly, I fell asleep and will need to rewatch it for the last half hour.

My biggest complaint (as with many films these days) is the difficulty in understanding the dialog. Characters mumble in weird accents (the female lead when old and the tugboat captain, for example).
So you turn up the volume to hear them better, and the loud music starts up suddenly and blasts your ears. Why do they make movies this way?
Are you talking to me, Larry?
I did find most of the dialog in BB indecipherable. It was nice to have subtitles.

Before I saw this movie I was really worried about how they would make a person born old. Would he be gigantic right away? Grow immediately? I thought it would be preposterous. But they did a good job with the special effects. Now that I think about it, they were nominated/won for that, right?

Glad you liked Galaxy Quest, Sally.
Last night we watched Zack & Miri Make a Porno, which was very Kevin Smith. Slightly funny, slightly gross. Nothing to write home about.
I just finished BB for real, not sleeping this time. I'm glad I didn't miss that ending. What a good movie!

Yay, Heidi! I'm glad you loved Galaxy Quest! I love the line about our "Montecristo sandwiches". :D

Do your homework before you go, though:

She does have a tendency to hold everything in. ;-).
Oh, I thought you were talking about the Up Series from Britain circa 1964-2004. Smacking good documentary series.

Too much coffee????????????????
Oh, so just your natural enthusiasm shining through. :).
