QOTD: check out Coraline – sweet and scary at the same time, good stuff.

I don’t have netflix, but I saw “Awakenings” on encore not too long ago. I really enjoyed the the story and it has Robert Deniro and Robin Williams in very unexpected roles. (1990’s movie)

QOTD:What kind of films do you like?? I know you liked “The Warriors” so you might want to check out “Southeren Comfort,” “Class of 1984,” or “Heathers”.

QOTD: The Uninvited (2009). The DVD came out recently. Kind of spooky and suspenseful.

QOTD…..The wrestler was pretty good the latest 007 movie was decent too.

The Dark Knight. Had the Tolosa prior and thought it was crap. Didn’t know it had such a high rating but that wouldn’t have mattered. Agreed about being ticked off at that rating.

Nice show, Gary… I was having withdrawals last week, but the bottles I picked up while I was in Napa the week prior helped me get through.

QOTD/Movie: “Play Misty for Me”

Question for GV: Have you ever taken a sniffy sniff and got some wine in your nose? I know a friend of a guy of a friend that it happened to… okay it was me. I had been tasting all day, that’s my excuse and I’m sticking to it.

Congrats on your new baby girl!

Nice to have you back Gary!

I’m sure your hectic schedule will get even more so. I’m sure you can handle it.

Couldn’t find the Tolosa, so I can’t pan it like you did.

QOTD: The last good movie I saw was “Pride and Glory” which is available on The Pirate bay: http://thepiratebay.org/torrent/4642195/Pride.And.Glory.DvDrip-aXXo
As of late however I fell in love withe the TV series “Lost”. Seeing as I don’t have cable TV, I had not heard of it until recently. The whole 5 seasons are also available for free on everywhere on the web.

Cheers!

Great show. You are more relaxed looking now that Misha was born and everyone in healthy, a blessing for sure.

QOTD: Gran Torino.

I don’t do movies. Boring, the movies that is.
I was forced to see Monster and Aliens while I was babysitting my neice and it was OK. Imagining a 50 foot Reese Witherspoon was almost worth the bad popcorn.
Good show!
Once it heats up here in cali I’ll try some whites. For now, life seems too short to drink white whine.

Nice to see that fatherhood hasn’t killed you yet. And not going to go seek out a “bad” wine to help solidify your thoughts, sorry GV.

QOTD: I don’t really rent movies these days since I get most movie channels. But the last good movie I watched at home had to be American History X, not really an uplifting movie, to say the least.

QOTD: A Good Year.

Welcome back. Just got to watch the Misha episode as well.
Suck up the fun that is that little peanut.

QOTD: The Visitor

QOTD: I’ll go with the last movie I bought on DVD X-Men: The Last Stand. I’m not going to say its awesome but it’s watchable.

2 days in a role. nice. When are you going to be on Jimmy Fallon?
QOD: Grand Torino – best movie I’ve seen this year. you need to watch it.

QOTD: I am an Ocean’s Eleven (new one) guy. Also, As Good As It Gets.

Also, great Zack Morris reference. How about a Kelly Kebowski (?) one at some point? She’s like a sparkling shiraz.

We saw “Singing in the Rain” again on Turner Classics and loved it.
Also, think of some old faves like Casablanca, The Maltese Falcon, Children of Paradise all very romantic movies. New mothers probably should avoid movies like Fanny and Alexander or The Wild Bunch,anything violent. Seriously. And absolutely NOTHING with children in jeopardy!

Hey GV,

Recent Fan not only of WLTV but of your other passion’s as well. I have been going through the old episodes and pciking out some great recommendations and doing a little palate exapsion.

Quick QOTD for you: What happens if lil’ Misha turns out to not be a Jets fan? What then?

QTOD: New Season of Weeds is just starting on showtime.

Welcome back, Vayner-dude! It was nice to see you “back in the saddle” on the Thunder Show. I will see what I can do about the “task” you have assigned us.

QOTD: “The Reader” – excellent flick

Gary…you are BACK and you are bringing some SERIOUS thunder!

QOTD: I watched Sideways again. It’s a lot of fun and there is a lot more going on there than just Miles’ obsession with pinot noir. I don’t order movies, just watch DVDs on my laptop.

Good show and thanks for the Facebook tip at garyvaynerchuk.com!

Never been a huge fan of SB but will give it another go. the Chard sounds interesting as well.

I’ve had the Picnic Bird Chard for the past few vintages – it is always fun and easy drinking! Great on the porch…

QOTD – I thought the performances in Doubt were great, but I would have to recommend the movie Once. It is a quassi-musical that won the best oscar song a year or two ago. It is a great snapshot of two people meeting and changing each other’s lives.

Im going to find that chardonnay and drink it.

QOTD: Not some old dude here, im late 20’s, but my recomend is “Wages of Fear” (1953),

imdb:
In a decrepit South American village, men are hired to transport an urgent nitroglycerine shipment without the equipment that would make it safe
