Shivering Thread of Random Facts LX

Thanks. I already have a room, Broony.

 

So now I know that about you. What do you enjoy then, in the way of films? My tastes are not confined to that genre, by any means, tho I find it particularly intriguing.

I started reading horror stories when I was 11 years old, from my parents' library - Edgar Allan Poe and H P Lovecraft. Also some Ray Bradbury - The Martian Chronicles - and my parents were fans of Stephen King as well.

However I cry every time I watch The Sound of Music. And I absolutely adore My Fair Lady and The Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind. I played the role of a singin and dancin sailor boy in South Pacific in summer of 2002, and loved it. So where does that put me, genre-wise?

 

My room is full of my wife's leftover shit that she hasn't had time to sort through and deal with since she moved to a downstairs room...

So now it's just me and Deanna up here. With my wife's piles of shit.

 

I like Adventure, Comedy, Crime, Drama, History, Mystery, Romance, Westerns, and all of the above rolled into one makes for the best.

Not a real fan of Action, Animation, Fantasy (a bit is okay), Horror, Sci-Fi, or Thriller.

Eclectic.

Are you sure those aren't r0llin's piles of shit?

 

Yeah, I like all that shit too. If it's done well, I mean.

Did you ever watch Tombstone? That one combines all the elements in your list - adventure, comedy, crime, drama, history, mystery, romance, and westerns - and I like it muchly. Especially the character of Doc Holliday as depicted in the film - played by Val Kilmer. "I'll be your huckleberry..." Oooo yeah, that Doc Holliday was one badass mofo. At least, as depicted therein.

Also, have you ever seen High Plains Drifter? Classic Clint Eastwood - iconic squint and all. It's one of the DVDs I own.

Oh well then. You hafta miss out on some cool shit, but that's just the way it is.

Good call.

Cheers Glen.

 

Hey, I of course love r0llinstoned like a fuckin' brother...but does that mean I wanna keep his shitty pants in my room? Even I have SOME hygienic standards...

 

I loved Tombstone. I'll have to go back and watch High Plains Drifter. I don't think I've ever sat down and watched that through.

 

My wife couldn't get past the rape scene. It was one of the defining moments in our relationship - a moment when I realized she was too full of her own bullshit to find meaning in things that really mattered.

 

See, I have no idea what scene you're talking about. I'll have to watch it.

 

Understand. I should get back to my pal Hannibal...

 

Enjoy.

 

The only limit is the one you set yourself

 

Hmmm...I watched that scene in a clip. It was cheesy.

I watched alot of the clips. I'll hunt down the whole movie tomorrow.

Goodnight.

 

Hmmm. You're probably not going to like the movie. Probably a bad suggestion on my part.

It's a bit overblown in a slightly tongue-in-cheek style. I mean, this is Clint Eastwood we're talking about - Dirty Harry.

 

Hey Aeri! I've thought about you today (well, yesterday) and I surely do hope you're feeling better

I watched that movie - The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo about 24 hours ago.

It made me a little crazy...I needed to hit the subtitles key so I could simply read what they were saying as opposed to trying to understand it. I needed :sultan: to divine what I was hearing! I forget how many times I hit pause rewind play. pause rewind play...over and over.

 

I'm generally pretty good with accents, but with that movie I find the subtitles helpful.

 

What I should have said is that I found the girl in the scene to seem really cheesy.

It's slow go, Lynn; but again, I'm not getting worse; or at least not rapidly.


I never got to watch The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo.
