I had kind of a crappeh weekend. It started out fun, as I joined Rachel and Mike at the Indiana Jones marathon. It was awesome to see the films on the big screen, although we were all puzzled as we'd thought the whole point of this was to show Raiders in IMAX and we were...not in the IMAX theater. The prints looked a bit muddy, too. I didn't ( Read more... )

I found out yesterday that my college friend Tricia is going to be in ( Read more... )

I am happy to report that I am no longer snowed in. I managed to dig my car out from the three-foot snowdrifts enough that I can get out. It's warm enough that things are beginning to slushify and the snow mostly just fell off all the cars ( Read more... )

Of late I've been storing up Movies To See from TCM on the old DVR and gee, I've had some time to watch them recently.

So ohnotheydidnt is reporting that Joseph Fiennes, Naomi Watts and Stuart Townsend have all been cast in HP6, which is really awesome. Naomi must be playing Narcissa Malfoy (awesome).

Totally pointless and frivolous Friday poll!

Holy shit, skip=150 this morning (since about 6 pm last night). It doesn't help that everybody and their brother is posting Doctor Who fanvids. *sigh* I have ten tabs of fic updates, icons, and to-be-commented-upon posts to read after I post this update ( Read more... )

Today was a Day of Stitching with Turner Classic Movies. I watched "North by Northwest," which (shockingly, given my adoration of Hitchcock) I had actually never seen all the way through. I'd seen bits and pieces of it, but never the whole thing front to back. Immediately afterwards, they showed "The Adventures of Robin Hood," which I had also ( Read more... )

I'm sorry to see that TLR had a suck-ass Memorial Day. Mine was actually pretty good ( Read more... )

I get into these moods on weekends. Sometimes all I want to is write. Sometimes all I want to do is read. And other times, all I want to do is watch movies.
I watched a whole BUNCH of movies this weekend.
You Can Count On Me Netflix. This movie had critical acclaim heaped all over it, so I thought I'd give it a go. I was underwhelmed. ( Read more... )
