Anyone catch "Greenberg" yet?
A strange, mostly depressing film. My wife and I caught it when we were staying in a hotel and she was so turned off she made me stop it before it ended...I hate that because now I cannot find how it ended (apparently it ends rather suddenly and rather ambiguously). Practically EVERY film's plot can be found on line but I cannot find the actual ending anywhere...can anyone chime in? From what I can tell, we were literally minutes away from the end (when the "party" scene with the college kids starts...) so I am frustrated. I cannot let go of the thing until I know what happened. Ugh!

"Second Hand Lions" - watched that again the other night.
Delightfully surprising.

I Heart all the Christopher Guest movies. Waiting for Guffman and Best in Show are my two faves. Of course, Spinal Tap=classic.

Others are:
Princess Bride
Shawshank Redemption
To Kill a Mockingbird
Meet Me in St. Louis
Frankenfish (just kidding)
Some Like it Hot
Star Wars: episode 4


Oh yeah, as far as my favorite portrayal of Satan goes, South Park: Bigger, Longer, & Uncut

"Mighty Wind" and "Spinal Tap" are my personal favorite Guest films.

Oh, speaking of the evil guy in red...Did you hear about the dyslexic devil worshipper?
...he prayed to Santa!

I love "Best in Show" or how about "A Mighty Wind" or even "Spinal Tap." I consider those core actors to be the Canadian Montey Pythons. What other Chris Guest movies are there out there? I want to see them all!!!

I think we have them all covered in the last few posts except For Your Consideration. That was the latest release if I recall correctly. It's hilarious,too.

Being a fan of all of Christopher Guest's movies myself, For Your Consideration came across to me as a sad tale of how beautiful creative thoughts and ideas are spun so much to be lamestream that a great religious homecoming of family is turned into a non-religious politically correct media mogul manipulated thing as Thanksgiving!

It's so hot this summer...gawd... I dream of the Fall again... the lovely season of turning of the leaves, NFL, octoberfests, and oom papa bands... but mostly i long for fall and the joyous holiday season, simply because of the thought of all the pies that i will eat.

Anyway, you're all invited!

Another Chris Guest movie is "Waiting for Guffman." Just ordered it on netflix....wish it came on Blu Ray. Is Guffman any good?
