Although not as lucky as Spector to have had 2 weeks off from work, I was off long enough to truly relax. I'm talking lounging-in-my-pj's-all-morning-then-taking-baths-at-3-in-the-afternoon type of relaxing. In between eating, playing PS2, and watching The Twilight Zone marathon I was fortunate (or unfortunate in certain cases) to catch the following:
- The Dark Knight (Excellent.)
- Iron Man (I could watch this over and over and over again. Seriously.)
- The Incredible Hulk (This was aiight. Not great but entertaining nonetheless.)
- Hedwig and the Angry Inch (This was disappointing. The 3-sentence blurb on the Netflix sleeve was more interesting than the movie itself.)
- King Kong (1933)
- Scooby Doo Meets Batman
- Scooby Doo Meets the Harlem Globetrotters
- Elf
- The Black Devil Doll from Hell
- Adaptation (We didn't seek this out - it was a channel surfing accident. I think the only thing that made us stay on that channel was Nicolas Cage looking more bizarre than usual.)
- The Big Lebowski (Thanksgiving = The Last Waltz and New Year's Eve = The Dude.)
- Them!
- Real Genius (There's been talk of a sequel. Not sure how I feel about that.)
- Return to House on Haunted Hill (Truly awful but somehow I just couldn't resist.)
- Jesus Camp (I don't get it - Harry Potter is deemed evil but rat tails are acceptable?)
Up next before the break is over:
- Picnic at Hanging Rock
- Iron Man

Was Jesus Camp not one of the most frightening things you have ever seen? I found that movie difficult to watch.
Iron Man is AWESOME and I really liked The Incredible Hulk. It was so much better than The Unwatchable one.
Santa got me the Dark Knight as well, but we haven't watched it yet. We also got a new tv and we are waiting for it to be hooked up to watch it.
Oh, and I know you were ALL over that midget rat-skullet.
OMG - yes! All those kids were painful to watch in one way or another (especially Levi and his stupid ass rut-ruttin' rat tail) but I found the little blonde boy with the dutch boy haircut the most heart wrenching. Do you remember him sitting cross-legged with the microphone in hand talking openly about his doubts about Jesus? Couldn't you just feel the tension in the room? It was as if he were speaking to an audience completely comprised of Children of the Corn who were just waiting to tear him to pieces and force him to speak in tongues. Frightening.
And I agree about The Incredible Hulk. It was totally better than "The-Movie-Who-Must-Not-Be-Named". Way better. I just don't think I did it any favors by seeing it right after watching Iron Man.
A tv that needs hooking up?! It sounds like Santa was totally good to you! Are we talking about a 60" flat-panel LCD HDTV? So, uh, when are we going to have a screening of Iron Man at your place?
As for the midget rat-skullet, it's totally true that I was all over that shit. I think I heard myself squeal with both horror and delight when I saw the wee one.
Dude...I'm sorry to hear about Hedwig...I really liked that movie. Well...maybe I liked the music more than the movie..., maybe I have a soft spot for any musician who goes out there and plays every gig like you're at Madison Square Garden...when really you're at a diner.
God, I must've watched 'Them' a thousand times as a kid....I hate ants.
Schtick
Schtiquita!
I'm sorry about Hedwig too. I really wanted to like it more than I did. I think I got annoyed with Hedwig being angry about his inch. Get over it already! And don't even get me started on Tommy Gnosis....
