I
hated
the director's cut of
The Abyss.
I thought it went to a super-preachy place that took me out of a movie-enjoying place and into "I must now feel bad because I am a warful and destructive ugly human". I thought the simplicity of the theatrical version was much more lovely.
I just really enjoyed all the characters and the relationship between Bud and The Bitch. And Michael Biehn *sigh* I rented
Planet Terror
for you, and you didn't disappoint me.
I should not be allowed to watch It's a Wonderful Life. It hits my cry button way too easily.
I watched IAWF four years running, late at night on Christmas Eve. That's some depressing shit, right there.
I love It's a Wonderful Life, but I'm more about the love story between George and Mary than anything else.
I put it on for the kids cause I realized they had never seen it (not sure how, but that is something else). Well, they both ditched me and I turned into a water fountain at the end.
Just finished watching
Mixed Nuts,
a perennial fave holiday movie.
Madeleine Kahn rocks!
Second movie of the day:
Troy.
This time I'm pretty confident the movie really is just that bad. Sure is pretty, though.
Troy
was one of the few times I saw a movie in the theatre and really wanted to ask for my money back.
I am perfectly happy with the six dollars I spent on
Enchanted,
however. Loved it.
I just watched Atonement. I was really enjoying it up until about the last 10 minutes. Oh well.
I saw LONG KISS GOODNIGHT with some friends tonight. Dear LORD I love that movie. And I always seem to forget just how many great lines are in it.
"He's been licking his asshole for the last three straight hours. I submit to you that there is nothing there worth more than an hour's attention. I should think that whatever he is attempting to dislodge is either gone for good, or there to stay. Wouldn't you agree? "
"Are you thinking what I'm thinking?" "I hope not, 'cause I'm thinking how much my balls hurt."
"Easy, sport. I got myself outta Beirut once, I think I can get outta New Jersey." "Yeah? Well, don't be so sure. Others have tried and failed. The entire population, in fact."
"I sock 'em in the jaw and yell, 'Pop goes the weasel.'"
"I'm hurt real bad. I think I'm dying." "Continue dying. Out."
