[The Third Man]

Digital Bits interview with Lions Gate/American Zoetrope on Apocalypse Now

This set is [expletive] loaded front to back. They even included the trailers in HD. But most importantly:

"the great outdoors" has one of, if not, my favorite movie quotes ever

Roman, out on the deck?

yeah, you know it

I tell you what I see when I look out there. I see the undeveloped resources of Minnesota, Northern Wisconsin, and Michigan. I see a syndicated development consortium exploiting over a billion and a half dollars in forest products. I see a paper mill and if the strategic metals are there, a mining operation. A greenbelt between the condos on the lake and a waste management facility focusing on the newest rage in toxic waste, medical refuse. Infected bandages, body parts, IV tubing, contaminated glassware, entrails,syringes, fluids, blood, low grade radioactive waste all safely contained sunken in the lake and sealed for centuries. Now I ask you what do you see?

I just see trees...

Your girl is probably eschewing animation about now

No way.

netflix. They're on my list for us.

In a few years I will expose the little Freedette to "North by Northwest" and "Rear Window". Some darker Hitchcockian aspects - but interesting stories, action, and visually captivating. The chase scene on Mt Rushmore is pretty classic.

"Planes Trains and Automobiles" can be watched in somewhat mixed company -may have to mute the scene where Steve Martin rants at the airline clerk.

So I watched Harry and the Hendersons and The Goonies for the first time recently. Any other recommendations to watch with the kid?

The Never Ending Story.
And most importantly, The Dark Crystal
That movie rocked as a kid.

Gone With The Wind up next for me and daughter. Hope I can stay awake.

The best movie I've ever hated. But I had no trouble staying awake.

I almost put this in the Facebook thread, but is anyone here interested in "The Social Network"? Ever since I saw the first preview I thought, "Who cares about how Facebook started?" Maybe there's more to the story, and much artistic license, but I don't see it being very interesting.

The only reason I'd even dream of seeing that movie is that it's directed by David Fincher (Fight Club, Se7en). I'm much more interested in seeing Catfish, which I believe is calling itself "The other social network movie".

[Jocephus]

i have no interest in the facebook movie either...im embarrassed that i use the site anyways, i dont need to see how these rich punks from harvard started it and became successful...i guess it doesn't paint them in the best of lights which might be interesting, but really, yeah, dont care

I probably wouldn't see it if not for the fact that I'm doing my doctoral dissertation on the subject of self-disclosure on the internet vs in the real world. Could give me some ideas on what to talk about or focus on in the literature review.
