Hot Tub Time Machine.

Dumb idea.
Dumb Plot.
Dumb movie.
Awesome Music.
OK acting.

It was all in all a pretty stupid movie, as I expected it to be, but I enjoyed myself and laughed a lot. Mrs. Wart hated the language and breif nudity, which made it all the better for me. I downloaded it from Vuze, so the price was right.

Bill Murray continues to be the King of Awesome. Claims in an interview that he did the voice of Garfield in that horrible movie b/c he thought screenwriter Joel Cohen was Joel Coen of Coen Brothers fame. But the best part is his impression of Jennifer Love Hewitt:

"At least they had what's-her-name. The mind reader, pretty girl, really curvy girl, body's one in a million? What's her name? Help me. You know who I mean..." Murray said before being reminded of her name. "At least they had her in good-looking clothes. Best thing about the movie."

I love Murray - as I recall, I wash hoping he'd win that comedians tourney, but he's either nuts, or a bit of a fibber. He mentions in that movie having never once seen Seinfeld, to the point of not knowing its title "Larry David's show, that one thing?" paraphrased. He says he has never seen any Apatow movies. I have read many interviews of the guy, and I love his direct comments on the industry, his movies, etc. But a lot of what he says is just hard to even fathom. I don't think he ever wanted to be such a household name, and would be happier doing small movies, more live roles (theater or improv), and generally being a nutty recluse.

Watched my extended edition of Fellowship of the Ring last night. Once Frodo and Sam embark on their own, though, I pretty much skip every one of their scenes. I've read the novel (ya JRR, I called the whole thing a novel just like you want!) who knows how many times, seen the movies enough, that I basically never again need to see Frodo n Sam's weep-fests. I am excited to eventually see the Hobbit movie(s), if nothing else to see a much more humorous, brighter, young-adult-flavored fantasy.

That's so cool that it more than makes up for the fact that he did the Garfield movies in the first place.

Thanks to this forum, I watched Soylent Green last night.



I've suddenly developed a love for furniture.

Cleopatra, which I recently learned was the film for which an actor first received a million bucks, was long and very Hollywood and not really my kind of flick but I'm glad I watched it. One of the cool things about having a kid is sharing an interest with them. For some fathers it's WWE, for me it's movies. Last night was Cleopatra then this morning we watched Charlie Chaplin and Buster Keaton.
