I went back three pages to find out what the hell this had to do with watching movies. I wanted to tell people that i watched The Great Escape and Stalag 17 this week, and also went out to see The Prestige.

But I guess that lacking a story about inappropriate ##### I am Not Allowed Here.

Fair enough. The lengthy inappropriate-trouser discussion has been moved to a topic in Wild Card.

So, movies. What do you think?

The Departed was EXCELLENT.  Scorsese's best since Goodfellas.

The Black Dahlia was very disappointing, especially since it started off so strongly.

Arrested Development Season 3 (while not a movie) is one of the funniest things I've seen in a long time.  Great stuff.  (Yes, I held out to watch it on DVD rather than when it was on - which I guess was part of the ratings problem, huh?)

I just finished reading Bob Loblaw's Law Blog.

God, only three seasons, whereas Mad About You and Everybody Loves Raymond just went on and on and on.

How long was Will & Grace on?  Sheesh.

And my favourite show last year (Kitchen Confidential) was canceled after only airing three episodes.  Also on Fox.

I am currently grabbing more. And have just seen episode four. I also watched the three episodes that aired and was quite taken by it, and just discovered thanks to tviv.org that they have released the whole thirteen run since. It's downloading fairly fast too. meanwhile I've been hacking fingers off and thinking even more of Bourdain.
Doesn't quite make up for them axing Arrested Development which is one of the best comedies in a long while, as well featuring De Rossi, but it's good to have an extra ten.

Yeah, I got the rest of Kitchen Confidential from when it aired in Australia, but I'd totally buy a DVD of the complete series.

Meanwhile, the new shows this season mostly suck.  Shark is pretty good but I don't think I'd miss it.  The new sitcoms all seem to suck.  I had hopes for 30 Rock but alas.

We just finished The Big Lebowski.  It took two evenings.  It was a movie that moved at, um, a rather leisurely pace, shall we say.

The Technical Staff's review:  This movie was better if you watched it drunk, or probably stoned.

As for me, this was a very satisfactory entrant in the this particular film festival.  Like, now I understand all the times I have heard people say significantly that the rug tied the room together.  Also, didn't we used have to have someone who posted here who called himself thedudeabides?  Anyway, A for its cultural literacy contribution.

In the long run I actually think I liked it.  It was one of those things of which it ought to be said that anyone attempting to find a plot in it would be shot.  But, well, sometimes plot is overrated.  Really my main criticism is that the Dude's hair was too clean all the time.  It was unrealistic.

I think my favorite moment of all was when the African cabdriver throws him out because he says he hates The Eagles.

This is how I feel when I read Neal Stephenson novels.

There's certainly a plot, it's just impossible to ascertain on the first viewing.

Man, I use lines from Lebowski in my everyday life all the time.

Just last night I think I yelled at some dude for bumping into me "there's a beverage here, man!"

If so, would you mind explaining, if there was never a kidnapping in the first place, how the nihilists with the ferret... oh, never mind. There's no point in overthinking this.

I think the guy that floats in the pool has something to do with informing the Nihilists, or perhaps is one of them himself.
