Way late to the party on Pitch Perfect. Took a snow day today and watched it. I loved it. Funny as hell, cute girls, and good music. It's like a cross between Best in Show and Drop Dead Gorgeous.

I mentioned "The Broadway Melody" well upthread when discussing Oscar history. Just watched it off of TCM and it was--better than I expected. Not a good movie by any means, hokey melodrama, but all the other talking films made in 1928-29 just sucked so bad. This one at least has some good musical numbers. Probably deserved that Oscar in a "tallest midget" kind of way, although some of the last silent films like "Pandora's Box" or "The Iron Mask" are a lot better.

I just finished Fury. I wish more actors were as selective about their roles as Brad Pitt.

Anchorman 2 was terrible, but I still laughed pretty hard at a few parts.

The Raid 2 was also a thumbs down for the same reasons I didn't like the original.

I thought Fury was the story of a horse and the boy who loved him.

It's not like I ever see theater, but I bet Glengarry Glen Ross plays better there. The pace and density of it all is just so weird and unnatural for me.

Al Pacino was good, nice to see him when he was trying. But Jack Lemmon was just incredible.

Jack Lemmon was just incredible.

I'm more of a Hans Moleman guy. But I definitely saw Gil in GG GR right away.
