You know what I want
You know what I need
Or maybe you don't

Do I have to come right flat out and tell you everything?

Hey, if I had to sit through 13 Going on 30 and The Notebook, I think she should be indebted to me for life.

i think that some of these movies are great because of when they were made.. i watched
this movie a million times growing up.. loved back in the 80's and still love it now.. but
i know what you're talking about.. i'll go back and watch movies that i missed growing
up that everyone loves.. and they're just not quite the same when viewing them for
the first time when you're 20 or 30 years old.. i think this is never more true than with
movies made in the 80's for some reason.. if i were to watch "weird science" for the first
time tonight.. i'm sure i wouldn't like it nearly as much as i did when it came out..

Im with you, Leroy.

It was actually my journalism teacher who said it was his favorite movie and the most hilarious one hes ever seen. Maybe it was the overhype that caused it, but I just really did not care for it one bit.

For me it wasn't even hype. I hadn't heard of it when I saw it.

I remember that I liked Raising Arizona back when I saw it. But don't remember why or much else.

i thought Burn After Reading by the Coens was pretty good. I don't know if its similar to their Raising Arizona.

dvd extra interview with the Coens in Burn after Reading- they say something like "its a saga of when the world of personal fitness collides with the CIA." that got a laugh .

There were a lot of mixed reviews about Burn After Reading from friends I talked to. I personally loved it.

The scene where Brad Pitt pokes his head out of the closet smiling and takes a bullet made me laugh so damn hard. It was one of those "Why did I just find that hilarious" moments

the cast was great.

i liked when Malkovich's character smacked Pitt's character around in the car. And Clooney was great when finding out his wife was cheating on him, he took a sledgehammer to the "pleasuring" machine he built for her.
