Last movie you watched......

A guy with whom I grew up in the Jewish community in Long Beach is the main character in the new Coen brothers' movie. He's been nominated for a Tony, and now it looks like he's made the transition to leading man. It's very exciting to see his success.

Is Tiffani Thiessen a co-star?

 

Yeah. What's your point?

 

That would be sweet. But why did she lop off "Amber" from her name?

 

Watched "Fast and Furious" last night. Watched it on my MacBook because I'm still waiting on a TV..Anyway, would have preferred it on something bigger due the action scenes. Oh yea, the movie, it was eh, it was a good way to pass some time before passing out on a stormy night.

 

Pelham 1 2 3 and The Fast and Furious (2009)

I liked both, but I was also very drunk.

 

Bruno. Thought it wasn't as funny as Borat, but definitely funny. Though I did cringe at the dick that was on the screen for a few seconds. Seeing Funny People tonight.

 

FWIW, here's the first post on the thread. Jenny Jobs had a short but illustrious stay on this fair site.

 

"Seeing Other People"

Jay Mohr (who is really good in this) and Julianne Nicholson are a couple who have dated for 5 years and are months away from marriage. But she's only slept with 3 guys and wants to be "a watery piece of meat" so that she can feel as though she's lived before the final commitment.

It's a solid movie with a biting script throughout. Lauren Graham is such a guy's gal, the sailor-mouthed best friend with a cutthroat personality. Andy Richter is the moralist/lovable loser who does a nice job.

4 stars out of 5.

 

Watched "W" last night. For the most part, the material was a little too familiar to be all that enlightening, but the acting performances were solid.

Brolin was very good as Bush and Scott Glenn and Thandy Newton were spot-on as Rumsfeld and Condy Rice, respectively. But those performances were a bit offset by James Cromwell not even attempting to impersonate George H.W. Bush (he actually called Brolin "boy-o" at one point, as if he were Dudley Smith from "L.A. Confidential" all over again).

 

Finally watched "Watchmen" last night. Loved the opening and thoroughly enjoyed the prison scenes.

 

Saw 8 Days a Week last night. A predictable piece of piffle made in 1997 but not released until 1999, to cash in on the buzz Keri Russell was generating in Felicity. Totally unrealistic tale of a kid staying on the lawn of his unrequited love all summer to win her over before she leaves for college. But Russell is mega hot and costumed in various sexy outfits, and her headlight shots outnumber those from cars. But nothing to indicate the talent she had to pull off Waitress.
