Happy fathers' day to all of you (the fathers in particular)
I made my father a card and I'll cook dinner tonight.  Nothing too astounding.

My dad got the DVDs of "The Good, The Bad and the Ugly" (Special Edition!), "A Fistfull of Dollars" and "For a Few Dollars More." A pretty good haul for the amount of effort he puts in.
JAY KAY DAD!!!!! LOL ROFL LMAO!!!!

I got an espresso maker and a cool pillow stuffed with tiny foam pellets.

I got my Dad an Atomic Clock/Weather Station and a Rain Gauge.

And I've been cleaning house all day getting ready for my parents to get here.  Getting ready to grill lamb chops.  Mmmmm.  Also having grilled zucchini w/parmesan, new potatoes and Rich & Charlies Salad (it's a St Louis thing.)

We... started to unpack things from the shed, went swimming, and then drove out to Many and ended up having Blizzards at the DQ. Not precisely thrilling, but we haven't done Father's Day very big for a while.

My father was driving home from Ohio and my father-in-law was (and still is) in Argentina.  

As far as I'm concerned, we *have* no fathers!

We're celebrating belatedly.  

We did, however, take a shot at making Pedro a father.  

No pun intended.

I got my dad the exact same thing, except I got the regular edition of "The Good, The Bad and the Ugly" as my dad never watches special features on the DVDS.  Dads and Clint Eastwood.  

all squinting into the sun
all lookin' flinty
all windblown
all imagining your like that while mowin' the lawn

I've never been into Clint Eastwood.  Except in "Bridges of Madison County." I'm such a girl.

I didn't watch the DVD special features but the Thingies in the Box were pretty ridiculous, all special limited edition international postcards and stuff.  A friend of mine made me watch this for the first time fairly recently, because he is obcessed with Ennio Morricone.  So in conclusion I am a girl and my buddy is pretentious.

Watching "The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly" is pretentious?  If so, sign me up.

It is not, however, as good as "Once Upon a Time in the West" which was just so unbelieveably good that I couldn't stop grinning the entire time just thinking about how great it all is.

Dang!

And the lobby cards are pretty cool - I liked the packaging on the GBU set.  The extra features are nice too, but the best part is that they've restored the cut to somewhere near how it originally played in Italy.  The other DVD is the U.S. cut, which is about 20 minutes shorter and has one of the coolest scenes of the film removed.  It looks like, having seen both versions, that someone who didn't know anything about the movie just snipped out 20 minutes of scenes at random.

Not in itself, but I daresay that watching a movie because you like the composer of its score is getting there.

I think she meant her friend's obsession with Ennio Morricone was pretentious, not watching Leone's films.  The kind of person who would make you sit through something obscure like Investigation of a Citizen Under Suspicion because The Untouchables is just so pedestrian.

Yeah, if you like Morricone's music (and who doesn't? - he redefined the film soundtrack) buy the damn soundtrack.

I have of course seen a film just because I liked the director, and I see a film starring John Cusak as an endorsement that I will probably like the film.
