LOL
Watched grandma's boy and the green mile yesterday. It was raining so we spent the whole day in front of the Television.

We just started a subscription to Netflix a few monhts ago and have watched a LOT of movies.

Other than that we will spend tonight watching House and tomorrow watching NCIS.

I have watched more TV in the last year than in my entire life I think! lol
That's what I get for buying a plasma tv!

Reply #3 - 03/17/09 at 12:23:27 I know, Seasons Three and Four . . . very mixed feelings about. Some great TV and some real puzzling stuff. This latest season: much better. They're actually explaining things that happened in Seasons One and Two. I love/hate this show.

I have fallen in love with a new show, Dollhouse starring Eliza Dushku who is also a co-producer. Perhaps i have just fallen in love with Eliza.

I also have a sick affection for several reality shows, Survivor, The Amazing Race, American Idol, Bull Run, Big Brother.

Lost lost me somewhere in season two. Too many flashbacks like the producers didn't think the viewers had any memory skills. My opinion is a show with so much potential done so wrong.

I do like Prison Break, loved The Shield and can't wait for the return of Anarchy.

In the fall nothing takes me far away from SEC football especially Alabama games.

After watching American Idol (my brain must be turning to mush) I also watched Warrior a show that pits fighters from different eras against each other. Last night it was a Ninja vs a Spartan. The computers surmised the Ninja could hurt the Spartan but the Spartan could kill the Ninja. Finally I watched Ultimate Fighter US vs UK. Tuesday night is my bloodsport night, bleeding ears from American Idol to broken bones of Ultimate Fighter.

Today I plan to watch Max Payne on blueray.

Watched Grand Torino tonight. Great show once you figure out the character Clint Eastwood is portraying. At first I thought what a jerk then I got it.

My son wants me to order UFC 100 for his birthday so he can invite a bunch of his friends over, watch on the patio flat screen while they grill hot dogs, brats and burgers and drink beer. I guess I'll say yes.

H,

Yeah, that was an excellent excellent movie. I thought Clint was really stiffed at the Oscars; he should have gotten a nomination for that film, as actor or director. Phenomenal job, he may have even done a better directing job than an acting job.

Beyonce. . . I've long been a fan of her looks and her attitude. I spent a good amount of two years in Houston, her home town. Saw her once downtown in front of a very fancy restaurant. She looks as marvelous in real life as on big or small screens. A beautiful beautiful woman. Very talented too.

We watched Grand Torino a few nights ago and I loved it. Took me a few minutes to figure Clint's character out but once that snapped everything fell in place. The new Fast and Furious comes out on DVD in July. With just about nothing on TV worth watching now we are going through the movie collection. I have The Relic and The Ghost And The Darkness pulled out for tonight.

I don't have a fixed night for "B" movies but I watch silly movies now and then, sure, not so good ones but fun and easy to watch.

I live in the South (Texas likes to think of itself as the West but it's the South) and I can handle barbeque but it's not my favorite. And I hate football. I don't watch any sports. I spent my adolescence in Africa and played cricket, tennis and SOCCER. When I came back here football seemed the stupidest game ever. And I still think so. More time for listening and watching movies, riding the motorcycle, etc.

St. Louis was once considered the Gateway to the West or some such, right? Earlier than that, the Ohio River Basin was the far west and even earlier, Pennsylvania was the far west.
Smiley

I might differ in opinion as a native Texan, just to be contrary and all, but growing up near the mouth of the Rio Grande River certainly gave me a sense of the south, although mostly geographical, instead of political.
Oddly, where I spent my early teen years, near El Paso, was fairly close to the west, again, geographically.

I just watched "The Fifth Element." A truly easy to watch, funny/goofy movie and while the picture is improved somewhat on blu-ray, it is the sound of this movie that is noticeably improved over standard DVD.

What could possibly go wrong Richard?

I could think of a few things.

Not much for alcohol either, which is maybe why I avoid the temptaion of barbequing.

Dawg,

It feels like the South far more to me in most of Texas. West Texas does feel more like the West, I grant you. Central, North and South seem the South to me. I'm getting used to it. I'd rather live on the Mediterranean I think, but can't afford that. ;)

East Texas is the south, West Texas is the pits I mean the west. For later today I have pulled out Gettysburg to watch.

I haven't been to Europe since I was a teenager, but I'll never forget Paris. . . and I think I'd love to live in Greece, in Athens or one of the islands. Just fell in love with the people and place and antiquity.

I do hope to go back in the fairly near future, my girlfriend would love to go.

Today I watched more of Lost, Season One on Blu-Ray.

We did one of those Eastern Med cruises three years ago 23 days worth of Italy, Greek isles, Istanbul, Alexandria and Lisbon. What I liked is we were in port more than for the day so I actually got to see some things, stretch my legs, eat the food, shop and check out the people. We loved Greece and Istanbul best. If I close my eyes I can still smell those places.

I'm with Stone Deaf, in that some island in the south of somewhere would be even better, especially if there was no one around to know that sometimes I have a brandy for breakfast ( or go fishing instead of breakfast or whatever?) and could do so in my underwear.

I have "Foyle's War" cue'ed-up for after my Allman Brother's binge is ready for purging.

I am glad to see this thread revive.

My wife has accused me of being Monk on many occasions. I am not a clean freak, by any stretch of imagination, but I am all about order.

I bought her the entire collection, last week. It has been on constantly, since I popped it open for her.

I just see that the producer types are mostly making fun of a man with amazing gifts and taking no responsibility for how incredibly unique he would actually be, if he were real, if he was a person.
LoL!!

Nah, I'm NOT Monk, I just like things orderly.

She is enjoying this series, but I am somewhat offended by its existence. I hurt to watch him suffer so much with things I have conquered over time.

Tony Shaloub is an incredible, believable actor on many levels.

HAH!

I kind of enjoyed that one a bit, too, from the three or four episodes I caught on the air. My wife did also, so I bought the series for her.

It's a bit too much for the kids, though. We just keep it for ourselves.

Now, Diana Krall - Live At The Montreal Jazz Festival.

My son goes nuts for blonds, anyway, and he is astounded to see a woman actually playing piano. The only women he has ever seen hack their way onto a keyboard have been his music teachers in public school. He has been very critical of them. Tolerance is not his best event, at age ten!
Life is GOOD, though! He is enjoying this disc.

I got lucky at my favorite store (Half Priced Books) a few days ago, when I found seven DVDs of Miles' concerts. I did not even BLINK!! (nor did I look at the prices - I only inspected the backsides. Not really sure what that says about me, but there it is.)
