We've just had a Harry Potter marathon this last week. We watched all five. I haven't read a single book, but probably will start (and more than likely, finish) all the books before the next film is released.

Good! I think it's a sin to not have read them all at least once in your life time. (Then again I have the chapter stars from the top of the pages tattooed on my wrist so I may be a bit biased.)

I watched I've Loved You So Long last night while finishing up my Christmas present (I knit a rainbow dalek for my cousin) and I loved it. It was in French with subtitles.

Today I watched some classic Doctor Who. This morning I watched Snakedance, a three part story with the fifth Doctor, Nyssa, and Tegan. It was very 80s but slightly less boring than usual classic Who. Then when we went over to my grandparents' house, my cousin had gotten a second Doctor story on DVD, so we started that. It was called The War Games, and I got 4 episodes in but I kind of fell asleep during a bit of it. It was interesting once I got into it but I really think they could set it up in 10 minutes instead of an episode and a half. I would love it if someone went and edited down the classic Who series so they were shorter, honestly I think you could easily cut the time in half and it'd still make as much sense as it did to begin with.

Christmas Vacation? For some reason I laugh hysterically when cat chews through the cord to the tree.....

I know.........

---------------

I rented Terminator, it was pretty good.

Star Trek was enjoyable. I am not a Trekkie, but I loved the 'young' characters.

G.I. Joe was o.k. too....

--------------

Breaking Away starts in 5 minutes......

THAT is one great movie.

I hated Italian cycling teams for years afterwards.

Calamity Jane - 1953, with Doris Day and Howard Keel.

Night at the Museum - the first one. This movie is sooo funny.

Force 10 From Navarone - 1978, with a very young Harrison Ford, Robert Shaw, Carl Weathers. I never tire of seeing that dam go, and the bridge come tumbling down.

I wish I could get in to watching movies, since my son has hundreds of DVD's in his collection, but if it doesn't "grab" me in the first 5 or 10 minutes, then I'm done with it. And try to watch one on t.v.? - forget that - I'm asleep before the first commercial.

I could count on one hand, with fingers left over, the number of new movies I have watched from start to finish, this past year. However, if I do manage to get thru a whole movie, that means I really liked it, and will watch it repeatedly without tiring of it.

I subscribe to Netflix with 3 at a time unlimited. I end up watching a lot of movies. I can also stream movies over the internet to my media computer that is connected to My projector. I can watch netflix, the network channels like ABC, and HULU. This gives me access to thousands of movies and TV shows. I generally watch them by my self, because if I ask my wife down to watch she is usually snoring about a half hour into the movie. When we were dating she actually went to sleep at the movie theater. If we are watching a Football game for her Team Auburn, she will usually stay awake, at least till half time.

We have DirecTV, and each month we receive their guide to what's on. I spend a day or two checking out all the movies, make a list, and program them to record.

Finally got my list down to 4 left to watch, but the oldest of those is from last January - The Bridge Over the River Kwai. It's fun watching some of the older movies I saw way back when - as well as some of the more recent ones.

Plus we go to the theater near our house to see the very new ones. We went last Monday, going again this coming Monday, and I'm going on Tuesday by myself. Senior rates are a lovely thing.

Ellie - did you ever go to the Kent or Greenwich movie theaters in East Greenwich?

I have been having a Britanny Murphy-athon this week. Girl Interrupted, Clueless, Just Married, Little Black Book.

Up In The Air with George Clooney. I liked it, but don't think it was a good as the critics said.

I preferred the one he did last year - Michael Clayton.

Yesterday I saw Sherlock Holmes, and I LOVED it! I want it on DVD as soon as it comes out.
Today I watched Across The Universe yet again. I love the Strawberry Fields Forever sequence so much I've thinking about getting flaming strawberry bombs as a tattoo since about July. That'd have to be in a while though, I still have to get my octopus colored.
