February 2, 201114 yr Question for ya'll: Sixteen Candles will be showing in limited release around Valentine's Day. Would anyone here know where I could POSSIBLY go and see it? Looks like you'll have to go to Columbus. They're not showing it in CLE. http://www.amctheatres.com/sixteencandles/
February 3, 201114 yr I`m watching this old hippie road movie called Easy Rider. I can`t believe that`s Jack Nicholson! Him, Dennis Hopper, and Peter Fonda are smoking weed and he`s going on about alien/ufo conspiracies/cover-ups. It`s so funny to me because word-for-word, people still say the same exact stuff 40 years later.
February 3, 201114 yr Just watched the first episode of Downton Abbey. I definitely keep watching. http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/masterpiece/downtonabbey/index.html
February 3, 201114 yr Thing 1 and I have been watching ALF all day. I love the fuzzy little mofo! Up next the Powder Puff Girl and Mojo Jojo!
February 4, 201114 yr ALF!! What do you people do in that office all day?? BTW, Permanent Midnight is a great movie! The Powerpuff girls is oddly hilarious. Don't know what Mojo Jojo is.
February 4, 201114 yr ALF!! What do you people do in that office all day?? BTW, Permanent Midnight is a great movie! The Powerpuff girls is oddly hilarious. Don't know what Mojo Jojo is. This is an entertainment and media company. I watch TV all day! We have 8 TV's in here. I need to know whats going on on TV, internet, mobile devices, and print. If you can't examine self, you can't crush the competition!
February 4, 201114 yr Don't know what Mojo Jojo is. He's the evil genius monkey scientist from Power Puff Girls...Jeez, don't cha know anything.
February 4, 201114 yr Don't know what Mojo Jojo is. He's the evil genius monkey scientist from Power Puff Girls...Jeez, don't cha know anything. How can you have kids and not know who Mojo Jojo is! :whip: tsk, tsk, tsk.
February 4, 201114 yr The kids haven't seen the PPG yet. I remember watching the show years ago...I'm pretty sure I was drunk at the time. I've just recently become aware of Boomerang. I came home last night and they were watching Speed Buggy!
February 4, 201114 yr Holy mother of god. http://www.cinemablend.com/new/First-Captain-America-Poster-Goes-Gritty-And-Dark-22998.html I would have written the word "Marvel" instead of "Avenge" but whatever, that is a badass poster
February 4, 201114 yr Holy mother of god. http://www.cinemablend.com/new/First-Captain-America-Poster-Goes-Gritty-And-Dark-22998.html I would have written the word "Marvel" instead of "Avenge" but whatever, that is a badass poster I smell flop!
February 7, 201114 yr Ok, this weekend I watched: Hustle and Flow The Hangover (again!!!) A moive about Ted Bundy(which was rather disturbing) and I think that's it. I actually had a life this weekend!
February 7, 201114 yr Huh. The hangover is good? I never saw it. I went into Blockbuster the other day and didn`t really see anything appealing that I haven`t already seen. I ended up getting "The Kids Are Alright." I asked my dude Jason, the manager, if it was any good since it got good reviews from critics. He said he liked it but a lot of the patrons have a problem with it, were offended, found it repulsive since its about a lesbian couple with kids. Apparently I live in a seriously conservative, Protestant area lol. I watched it and thought it was really good but I could have done without the scene where the two lesbian moms were watching gay male porn (how does that even make sense?) but overall its a pretty good movie! I go into Blockbuster about every other day and I don`t think I`ve ever seen The Hangover in there!
February 7, 201114 yr ^ I think your reaction to the lesbians watching gay male porn was the point of that scene. You're supposed to wonder about it, then realize that sexuality doesn't have to make sense or follow your idea of how things "should" work. People like what they like because it's what they like. Dig?
February 8, 201114 yr On one hand I dig what you`re saying but it still makes little sense to me. If you`re sexuality is that broad, then it has to cause some serious cognitive dissonance.
February 8, 201114 yr I don't really know what you mean. I would think a bisexual woman would have a "broader" sexuality than a lesbian who likes watching gay male porn. And most bisexual women seem to get along okay, without "cognitive dissonance". This might be a weird example, but I think it might help illustrate the point: Imagine someone who finds it kind of hot to watch animals go at it on the Discovery Channel, but has no desire whatsoever to get with an animal. Doesn't that sound believable? So while a hypothetical lesbian doesn't want to get with a dude, she might like watching two dudes go at it.
February 8, 201114 yr Most girls, straight or gay, don't like seeing two guys getting it on. Gay men are the vast, predominant market for gay porn.
February 8, 201114 yr Ninja, animal porn is the worst analogy ever, to prove a point like yours! lol. They were using it to get in the mood. Porn is an outlet to indulge in a fantasy based on what turns you on. There`s a huge difference between checking something out in the interest of curiosity vs. something to get turned on to. Maybe I thought it was weird b/c its as if they portrayed it as anything deviant (don`t debate the use of that word with me please, I have a headache already) or taboo is a turn-on. I can`t relate to them but I know I only get turned on by what I`m wired and conditioned to be attracted to--in my case women. They`re straight up lesbionic so it made no sense to me. Sorry for the unprofessional conversation you guys. Maybe we do need a human sexuality thread though; that would be interesting. Hah. It is our primal drive.
February 8, 201114 yr ^^ That doesn`t surprise me. I think women are a lot different than men (gay or straight) in that respect. A lot of women seem to have a confused sexual orientation. They`ll go through a lesbian phase like its nothing because they love the attention from the other woman or from guys (usually when they`re young) or because they were in a bad relationship with a dude and they`re desparate for affection or want to try something different. Guys aren`t likely at all to swing from one side to the other like that. I can`t say I blame them though; women are pretty d@mn amazing. :P
February 8, 201114 yr TBideon: So? "Most" doesn't mean anything in this discussion. David: Your views on sexuality are way too reductionist. Just accept that people have attractions you don't understand, and you'll be better off. (Also realize, many times, the people who have them don't "understand" them -- they just have them.) I'd argue more men have confused orientations than women, precisely because women are more willing to experiment, and experiment openly. There doesn't seem to be a major "down-low" scene for women, for example. That, to me, is a sign of confused orientation. Much more so than feeling an urge and just seeing where it takes you. (Movie spoiler alert) You also ignore the part of the movie where the one "lesbian" gets with a dude. The whole plot is based on the fluidity/non-concreteness of sexuality. Maybe that's why so many other renters were left so uncomfortable with it -- it challenged their black & white view of sexuality. Is she really a lesbian? She seems to think so. Who gets to decide what she is? It's not black & white.
February 8, 201114 yr I've really been enjoying "an idiot abroad" on the science channel. No idea why a travel show produced by Ricky Gervais is on the Science Channel, but that's beside the point. Still a funny show.
February 8, 201114 yr ^ Oddly enough I was just reading an article in one of my wife's magazine on a sexuality study using videos, where they measured men and women's physical arousal as well as the particpants opinions on what they found attractive, including animals. Men's opinions lined up with their physical response. Straight men like man and women, and two women. Gay men like two guys. Neither group of guys found animals arousing. Women were all over the place. Their opinions of what they like pretty much lined up with orientation, but their physical arousal was much more broad, including the animal videos for some.
February 9, 201114 yr I am game for this new Holiday, anybody have a classic Ferrari (or a Miata would work too) that I can borrow ? So I can recreate Ferris Bueller's Day Off: the Cleveland version. Just need to make sure that the Tribe are in town and the Terminal Tower obeservation deck (instead of Sears Tower) is open... http://www.theatlanticwire.com/features/view/feature/Your-Newest-Holiday-June-5th-Is-Ferris-Buellers-Day-Off-3162# Your Newest Holiday: June 5th Is Ferris Bueller's Day Off By Ray Gustini | February 08, 2011 11:59pm Ever since Ferris Bueller looked out his suburban Chicago bedroom window and declared, "How could I possibly be expected to handle high school on a day like this?" his day off has been an inspiration for people trapped in offices and classrooms on those bright, sunny days when the tedium of work seems cruel and unusual. Until now, the exact date three teenagers skipped school, drove an antique Ferrari into downtown Chicago, looked at some art, went to a Cubs game, briefly united the entire city in song, and destroyed an antique Ferrari, was unknown. But thanks to some heroic statistical sleuthing by Baseball Prospectus's Larry Granillo, we know the date: June 5, 1985.
February 9, 201114 yr ^ Cleveland would have to have some kind of parade, so I could sing Danke Schoen.
February 9, 201114 yr Oops forgot about the parade. That could be a tough one... We'll just have to stage our own Ferris Bueller Day parade. I was on wiki trying to figure out the sequence of everything he did and apparently John Hughes just stuck a float in the parade for filming and very few people knew about it. Then they shot the close ups of the parade the next day and he had 10,000 people show up by word of mouth.
February 9, 201114 yr I can't remember if I mentioned this on here before, but I read in Variety a while back that 'they' were trying to develop a script to a sequel for Ferris Bueller, and reuniting the cast. The idea would have been that Ferris is middle aged now, taking stock of his life, which by all accounts is fairly mediocre. I hated the idea. Ferris lives forever in my memory as a high school senior with limitless potential. I don't need some fat, shlubby Ferris bringing me down. I can look in the mirror to see that guy!
February 9, 201114 yr There was a blip in the wiki article about John Hughes and Matthew Broderick were discussing sequels and they felt the same way as you do AJ. The one idea that they came up with that they did like was Ferris and Cameron were old, and Ferris breaks Cameron out of the nursing home that he has checked himself into because he still thinks he's dying, and they hit the town, going to strip club and such...
February 9, 201114 yr Unless there is a compelling story to tell with a movie like this, it's better off leaving it alone. Just because you can make $$ selling out a sequel, doesn't mean you should. Next thing you know, you have Ferris Bueller 6: City Under Siege
February 9, 201114 yr ^ Agreed. Especially when a movie is about capturing the moment. I saw that ad for Fast and the Furious 5 :Fast 5 during the superbowl and thought they were close approaching Police Academy. Police Academy 5: C.O.P Citizens On Patrol
February 9, 201114 yr I just rentef My Cousin Vinny! Love that movie. I also got "Tokyo!" Slumdog Millionaire" and Men who stare at goats". Any of them good?
February 9, 201114 yr Slumdog was good. The odd thriller like dance scene at the end was bizzare, but I guess typical for Bollywood films. Edit: BTW, don't worry, I didn't give anything away. The dancing has nothing to do with the movie. It's an add on where the cast is dancing to an Indian pop song.
February 9, 201114 yr General Hospital has also been very good lately. The major storyline involves a young man (was 17 at the time) coming to terms with being raped in prison by some scumbag (who was hired by James Franco to do the act, no joke). This young actor is just incredible - he's bound to win some Daytime Emmy and Soap awards. I never understood the stigma of soap actors. What they do compared to nighttime drama actors is just incredible
February 9, 201114 yr ^I read about this on some online site, and I used to watch GH back in the day when Jagger and Karen were on. Now, I wish I was still watching it!
February 10, 201114 yr Wow, yeah AJ, that dance scene at the end was totally random. I thought it was good though. I was getting kinda misty-eyed at the end and rooting him. This "Tokyo!" movie bores me. It has subtitles! I hate subtitles. It`s already a surreal movie and subtitles are distracting, causing me to not understand what is going on. Has anyone actually seen Men Who Stare At Goats? It was like the only new release I haven`t seen. That has to be the most boring, uninteresting title ever for a movie...ever.
February 10, 201114 yr Has anyone actually seen Men Who Stare At Goats? It was like the only new release I haven`t seen. That has to be the most boring, uninteresting title ever for a movie...ever. Seen it, it wasn't good.
February 10, 201114 yr I don`t know if I even want to watch it. I need to stop binging on movies at Blockbuster and head to imdb first lol. I think I just like going in there to talk about movies with the people who work there. I didn`t ask them about that movie. I`m starting to hate how so much of the store is pre-viewed movies for sale. They very rarely have old classics that I`m looking for because half tthe shelf space is used for over-priced movies for sale. With netflix and Redbox gaining market share, Blockbuster needs to know their niche in having a much bigger variety of movies available, particulary older and rare movies.
February 10, 201114 yr Watched 'Conviction' last night..... meh. Watched 'The Big Chill' this past weekend. I almost forgot how good that movie was. Definitely forgot how good the soundtrack was... maybe the best of all time IMHO. Kevin Costner plays the dead body btw (you never see his face).
February 10, 201114 yr David, your tildes are giving me a headache! :) ''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''
February 10, 201114 yr What am I doing ? Is there a glitch in my phone or something wrong with the keypad? That`s weird, it shows up normal for me. I haven`t accessed this site from my computer in a while; I can`t believe you guys are just now telling me this.
February 10, 201114 yr The font on your phone is probably the problem. Check if there's another apostrophe looking key to pick from when you go to the #s/special/punctuation keyboard. (I'm assuming you're using a virtual keyboard if not disregard)
February 10, 201114 yr What am I doing ? Is there a glitch in my phone or something wrong with the keypad? That`s weird, it shows up normal for me. I haven`t accessed this site from my computer in a while; I can`t believe you guys are just now telling me this. What you're doing is using the backwards-apostrophe ("open single quote"? What is it supposed to be called?) instead of the normal apostrophe. If you can see it, you're using ` versus '. On a normal keyboard, the one you're using gives you a tilde (~) if you press it with the shift key. The normal apostrophe gives you quotation marks with the shift key ("). shift + ' = " shift + ` = ~ You're using the latter. Get it? Or is that too confusing? LOL.
February 10, 201114 yr I got it. I hate this keypad. Is this button showing up as an apostrophe '''''' ' ' That's There's Who's. Is that the only punctual error? Please send me a pm, I don't want to derail this thread any more.
February 11, 201114 yr Just to follow up with my complimenting General Hospital, Michael, Jason & Carly ~ Carly Learns Of The Rape ~ 2/1/11 Despite the stigmas that daytime soaps may have, I'd say this scene is just masterful on every level. The acting, the pacing, the storyline, the realism - it's just damn good storytelling. And all the credit goes to Michael's performance.
February 11, 201114 yr Hooked on Police Women of Cincinnati, but it seems like every other call is on Reading or Victory, and there's a lot of talk about how unsafe OTR is. I think the cover is blown on the vice cop driving the Infiniti QX SUV (cool ride for a cop car!). She's got a pretty distinctive look, and she's gonna be wearing that ski mask permanently after all this face time on TV.
February 11, 201114 yr I got it. I hate this keypad. Is this button showing up as an apostrophe '''''' ' ' That's There's Who's. Is that the only punctual error? Please send me a pm, I don't want to derail this thread any more. You got it now.
February 11, 201114 yr ^ <3 Police women of Cincinnati... Is that on tv? What channel? Are any of them hot? Reading is very bad depending on what part you are on. As far as I know, police work within a certain district so that's probably why you don't see much of OTR despite hearing so much about it.
February 11, 201114 yr ^ It's on TLC, Thursday nights. You do see quite a lot of OTR. I think all the cops on the show are from districts 1 and 4. So lots of OTR/West End/Avondale/etc.
