'The Train Job'
A place to talk about movies--old and new, good and bad, high art and high cheese. It's the place to place your kittens on the award winners, gossip about upcoming fims and discuss DVD releases and extras. Spoiler policy: White font all plot-related discussion until a movie's been in wide release two weeks, and keep the major HSQ in white font until two weeks after the video/DVD release.
A True Bourdain No Reservations would have to be on Showtime.
My brother (who is eerily like Tony Bourdain, only 25 years younger) really liked Kitchen Confidential, but he said that he couldn't really buy the show because there was no constant stream of blistering vulgarity. (If he had a cooking show, it would be called "Who Left Their Fucking Order In My Fucking Window, You Fucks?")
The book is totally like that.
Huh. I was certain that "Meet Me Halfway" was from the Top Gun soundtrack, but it turns out it's from that Sly Stallone arm wrestling movie. Which I haven't thought about in at least two decades.
Over the Top!
And yes, there are so many better things I could store in those brain cells.

I was just thinking that today as I could perfectly recall the standup comedian who did the "Oh honey, it's the Wisemans. They brought Myrhh" bit (Cathy Ladman) but have difficulty remembering where I parked the car.
The Wisemans? The Wisemans? They always bring such crappy gifts! 'Oh, thank you for the nice...myrhh.'
Thank you, Bev.
I use that phrase all the time. Thank you for the name--I kept coming up Joy Behar, or Monica Piper, Wendy Liebman. Elayne Boosler and Judy Tenuta were right out of the running, though.
I also use, "No, Beverly, just you." Which I stole from Monica Piper.
So Beau and I saw Hanna over the weekend while we procrastinated doing our taxes. I was quite entertained by the movie, but at the same time, I found it to be a little trite. Beau felt that the director did everything in his power to make the best of a bad script. I didn't think the script was BAD (not like Adjustment Bureau bad), but a certain revelation about Hanna toward the end of the movie was not well thought out.
It is a good movie to escape doing one's taxes though but violent for a PG-13 movie (it seemed to me). I cannot believe this movie gets a PG-13 and The King's Speech gets an R.
P'shaw. We don't have to protect the children from teh violence, just teh cursing.
