Catfish intrigued me when the first ads were out, but I have heard there was some questionable stuff there.
I think the other half would be happier to see Red, too, not that I mind. The cast is incredible.
We use the latest in scientific technology and state-of-the-art weaponry and you, if I understand correctly, poke them with a sharp stick.

I have had the plot of Catfish described to me in detail, and having been on the internet for more than five minutes, I have no desire to see it.

Ah. Well, that decides it then.
Oh, Jess, I also sent you email. Just a quick updatey note.

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.
When we were planning a 25th anniversary party for my parents, I asked them what was their song. Mom said she didn't remember and Dad told me it was, "The theme from The Apartment ." But because none of us kids had seen the movie we didn't realize Dad was joking, and dutifully tracked down the soundtrack to play at the party, not understanding why Dad was giggling and Mom was confused. Years later I finally watched the movie and got the joke.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
I watched The Apartment last night
A+! That movie is nigh perfect.

Ann, that's a ferret.
Saw a fun screwball comedy last night, Merrily We Live. Emily Kilbourne (Billie Burke) has a habit of hiring hobos as her chauffeur with the idea of turning their lives around -- much to the displeasure of the rest of the family. Shortly after the latest runs off with the family silver, a scruffy Wade Rawlings (Brian Aherne) shows up at the door asking to use the phone. The Kilbournes all assume he's another hobo, Emily hires him as the new chauffeur, and comedy ensues.
Yeah, the plot is first cousin to My Man Godfrey (Rawlings wants to use the phone because his car just rolled off a cliff, so he isn't your typical hobo), and Aherne and Constance Bennett (as the older daughter) aren't exactly William Powell and Carole Lombard, but it's a lot of fun. Not least because it does have Burke playing a scatterbrained society wife as only she could, Bonita Granville as the over-hyper teenage daughter, and Patsy Kelly as the cook. And Alan Mowbray delights as the strait-laced butler who really can't deal with all the loopiness going on.

She's brilliant in exactly the same type of role in Dinner at Eight, too.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Only one of the reasons that's my favorite movie of all time.
