The Hollywood Video that I normally rent movies from is closing and having a sale, so I just dropped 40 bucks on the following:
Stealing Time with Scott Foley
Mr. Fix-it with David Boreanaz
These Girls with Caroline Dhavernas and David Boreanaz making out
Living til the End with Sean Maher and Jamie Ray Newman making out
Wedding Wars with Sean Maher and John Stamos making out
Wild Roommates with a bunch of unknowns making out, and
a UFC DVD featuring NHL player Patrick Cote (I assume no one is making out in this, though I'm willing to be proven wrong...)
Which should I watch tonight after dinner?
Well, somehow, Superman 2 is the second-highest rated film on Metacritic, after The Godfather. Of course, for films released before Metacritic began, there are a very small number of reviews, usually for re-releases (The Seven Samurai re-release I saw at The Film Forum was also very highly rated). Still, there must be some reason Superman 2 is 11 points higher than Superman 1, which was re-released more or less simultaneously.
Personally, I hate all of them. Superman is a pussy, and Batman deservedly kicks his ass in every worthy comic-book series. I may be overstating due to beer, but whatever. Boyscout deserves it.
ETA:
For those wondering,
Pan's Labyrinth
is the highest rated first-run movie on Metacritic, with a 98/100. The only movies to beat it were all re-releases.
Halloween.
ick. I'm not watching another Rob Zombie movie unless it's
Werewolf Women of the SS.
edit for explanation: I did not voluntarily watch
Halloween
but I keep having to go in there to quell disturbances and the crap on the screen is truly awful. And by the way, when I own my own movie theatre. Parents are not going to be allowed to bring little kids to slasher films. ick.
am I morally obligated to offer free board if they break up as a result?
Depends on the shoot-em-up.
Apparently it was a long string of shoot-em-ups, with Army of Darkness being the last straw that resulted in a declaration of war.
Hey, I enjoyed it, but I do sympathize that the combo of cheesy dialogue, over-the-top violence and gore, and—most importantly—a lengthy fight involving Three Stooges moves might be painful for a devotee of chick flicks.
I'm about 2/3 of the way through Living til the End and am delighted that it's turned the soon-to-die-free-spirit-teaches-the-uptight-guy-how-to-live-and-love trope on its head by having the uptight guy's OCD and agoraphobia actually deep-six the impulsive last minute trip to Paris. As a bonus, Sean Maher has somehow managed to convince me that his character is heterosexual.
Parents are not going to be allowed to bring little kids to slasher films.

You could have just said
Sentence,
Ailleann.
Matt, finished LttE yet?
I forget, does the DVD contain the original ending?
Never mind, I am an idiot.
I forget, does the DVD contain the original ending?
It only has the one, so I assume not.
Jack realizes Audrey is suicidal, climbs the ledge to get to her apartment and stop her, and is either shot by her gun when he startles her or is impaled on broken glass when he falls through the window...that final scene is shot really unclearly
