oddly enough I thought it meant both.
I just put The Thin Man in the player and I got the sense, just from the look of the DVD that I've already watched it.

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.

Finally saw Waitress. It was cute. I think it was a little too cutesy for me to love it. But it certainly was a promising little film that made me sad about Adrienne Shelly's fate.
Mostly I'm just really happy that the current films at my local theater are Waitress, Sicko, and Paris, je t'aime.
ETA: As someone who has The Thin Man memorized, I'd say watch it again. With a drink or two in hand.

One thing that I think is nice about Waitress is that when Adrienne Shelley's daughter is older, her dad will be able to show her the movie as a love letter from Mom. Most people just get family albums and a few keepsakes to remember a deceased parent by.
I saw Evening this afternoon, and am apparently a sucker for Gatsby-esque romantic tragedies set in the elite coastal vacation towns of bygone eras. Though upon reflection over Hugh Dancy's role afterwards I did have to wonder if the filmmakers were aware the Hays Code is no longer in effect. After all, Buddy survived a perfectly legitimate potential death due to his own foolhardy drunken behavior, only to be struck down as if from on high by a car that appeared out of nowhere on a secluded road through the woods late at night, whose presence was not announced by sound or headlights beforehand and which disappeared without stopping even though the impact with him was shown to shatter the windshield. Why not just have him struck down by lightning or turned into a pillar of salt ?

We saw Knocked Up last night, and I liked a lot more I thought I was going to. I really thought it would be more watch from the hall.

Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe
Finally saw PotC3 yesterday. Yeah, it had too much in it, but I can forgive that, because (with the exception of Tia Dalma/Calypso) it was all necessary and carried over from the first 2.
t edit I mean that Tia Dalma carried over from PotC2, obviously, and we had gotten the idea that she and Davy Jones were OTP because we saw her locket in PotC. But the whole concept of Tia-Dalma-as-spirit-of-the-seas-trapped-in-human-form was a new (and totally unnecessary, IMO) asspull.
Jack Davenport has one of the sexiest voices EVER. And I think that Norrington should have been the one to stab Davy Jones' heart and then take over the Flying Dutchman.
I thought that this was Depp's best of the 3, mostly because he wasn't stagger-y/speech slurred/scenery chewing.
The Boy and I had a long debate afterwards about whether an undead ferrier of souls is even able to impregnate someone. My vote: no. The Boy's vote: it's just a movie; you accepted everything else, so just go with it. (Heh.)

If I want to become a cloud of bats, does each bat need a separate vaccination?

I thought he was alive during his day on dry land. (Unless I'm wrongly imposing Sandman rules on the PotCverse, which is entirely possible.)
Here's a question, though -- what if the captain of the Dutchman doesn't have an SO when s/he takes over command? Do they get to spend a day on dry land every ten years shopping and sightseeing, or do you need to have a true love waiting for you on shore to get that perk?

I think that Big Love is intrinsic to the Flying Dutchman myth/magic. You probably aren't eligible for captaincy without it.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.
We saw Die Hard this weekend. I recall this comment from Bob: "John McClane is like the roach motel for Eurotrash!"
Also: I still have a thing for Tim Olyphant, though he was probably wasted in this.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Saw Transformers yesterday. I have been informed that the new Die Hard was better, but it could hardly be funnier, intentionally or not.
It was a massively stupid movie with stupid decisions made and a resolution that made no sense.
That having been said, I hope John Rogers got paid and then some. Just puz.
