Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Circuit City is selling the new Harry Potter DVD (Prisoner of Azkaban) for only $14.99, for two days only (Tuesday and Wednesday - Tuesday is also the release date).

The first two HP movies are aso $14.99 - that's the regular (not limited) price.

hip deep in pie

They are also releasing a box set of the first three movies on Tuesday, tomyrot, but I don't know if the box set is cheaper or not.

Circuit City is selling that for $39.99. It looks like that's the regular price.

"You see? THAT's what they want. Love, and a bit with a dog."

Just came back from seeing "Finding Neverland". That's the most I cried in the theater since "Return of the King".

This was almost me in the preview for "Finding Neverland". I can't wait.

I look more rad than Lutheranism

Oh, my God. Everyone should go see "Sideways" RIGHT NOW if you're lucky enough to have it play nearby. What a weird, funny, lovely, wise little film. It's sort of a spiritual cousin to Curtis Hanson's "Wonder Boys" (which I love), with more acute an ache in its center. I walked out of the theater with watery eyes, a bad case of over-identification with its sad-sack protagonist, and craving for that perfect bottle of Pinot Noir, nevermind I know next to nothing about wine.

Vonnie, I just saw it 3 hours ago. I liked it, but not as much as I expected to. Though it gave me a wicked jones for wine, and a desperate need to get back out to wine country.

I gotta say, though, I have never ever ever liked Thomas Hayden Church in anything ever ever ever.

I really liked him in this. A whole damn lot.

"We are the Goon Squad and we're coming to town...Beep! Beep!" - David Bowie, "Fashion"

HUDSON HAWK is just about the most underrated gem ever. I suspect if it had been a huge hit, I might feel very different about it, but becuase it got so much derision, I felt protective.

I must commune with the dolphins. eiyeieieieieyieieeeyeeiieyieiyeyieyeiye!!!!!

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"

Oh! Before I forget again -- Touching the Void the documentary/recreation of a very fateful climbing expedition in the Andes, will be showing on PBS this week. Probably the most suspenseful film you'll see all year, even despite the fact that the two narrators/protagonists lived through it. Both Nutty and I were blown away by the film in the theatre.

GS: If you had to choose between kicking evil in the head or the behind, which would you choose, and why? Minsc: I'm not sure I understand the question. I have two feet, do I not? You do not take a small plate when the feast of evil welcomes seconds.

In an ideal world, the clues for how to watch should be able to be picked up from the first several minutes of the movie itself.

Yes, this. I enjoyed The Mummy and Army of Darkness is one of my favorite movies. Van Helsing felt like it was trying really hard to be cool and failing.

HUDSON HAWK is just about the most underrated gem ever.

I wouldn't go that far, but I agree that it's definitely a fun movie.

That's the pain / That cuts a straight line down through the heart / We call it love

I love Hudson Hawk.

Theo, do you know when exactly Touching the Void is going to be on? I'd really like to see it if possible.

Yeah, I was being a bit hyperbolic, but I was just psyched about finding another HH fan. I know there are a few others around here - MM for one, I'm pretty sure, who, if I recall correctly, is also, a fan of another action movie that didn't do so well at the box office or with the critics, but is just so much more fun than the average bangbang movie: The Long Kiss Goodnight
