Delirious-1983-Eddie Murphy: Not only is it great to see Eddie at 22 trying to make it but the comments about “Reaganomics” and other social issues of that year brought back a lot of memories. Yay Netflix.

Finally saw “Bottle Shock”, and loved it. If you want something more quirky and slightly violent: “In Bruges”.

QOTD: The Curious Case of Benjamin Button. It really makes you appreciate the people in your life.

Nice to see you back in the THUNDER SADDLE my man, hope all is well with Lizzie and little Misha. Hope Sasha likes being a grandfather, too!

QOTD: Frost/Nixon was better than I thought it would be, via Netflix.

Great episode… “Picnic Bird” Chard… Instant Classic!

QOTD: Just rented “Taken” on VUDU… nice action flick that’s not too long… and since it deals with his kidnapped daughter, you may need to watch this to see the extremes you’ll go to if (God forbid) this were to happen to your Sunshine…

Really good show. I’ve been into whites lately.
QOTD – just saw Benjamin Button and couldn’t stop thinking about it for days. It was really well done.

The Witch scratch & sniff sticker was part of a Halloween series which included a Bat that smelled like smoke, a ghost that smelled like coconut (what!?), and a Skeleton that smelled like, well kind of like the Oak Monster. The Witch smelled like licorice.

FWIW, no mention of the nose on WS for the Nobilo, and all of WE’s ratings search isn’t working for me at the moment, so right now it’s GV 2, major press 0. This reminded me of the episode 149, where some scores between WE/WS/WA/GV varied quite a bit.

QOTD: The only movie I’ve seen in the last 8 weeks was Night at the Museum 2, and I liked the first one better. I don’t subscribe to any of the mail rental services, I just buy them cheap on Ebay or Amazon, or use Redbox ($1/night!) for newer releases.

Greetings and Congratulations, Gary!
I really enjoyed Man on Wire. I hope you will too.
Cheers, T.

QOTD: The Hangover, although that is a new release in theatres so it won’t help if you’re staying in. Both The Wrestler and Grand Torino were quite excellent and very worth checking out.

QOTD: I’m in the middle of watching “Big Fish” (I have 8 month old twins, so I watch movies in chunks) and I kinda dig it…the whole fatherhood thing is a central theme.

QOTD: in the last few weeks i’ve watched:
-snakes on a plane (had to see what all the original fuss was about – it was truly horrible. they were right)
-state of play (solid)
-mishima (ditto)
-angels & demons (mindless ‘fun’)
-gamorah (hard to watch)
-a whole bunch of old scrubs and curb your enthusiasm episodes. good laughs

top show – you got on a roll with that last wine – very funny work

QOTD: Love the Kill Bill movies and with David Caradine passing away recently had to pull the two of them out.

I don’t know if QT can make a better movie than these….obviously not for the eyes or ears of a two-week old.

Try “So I married an ax murderer” or One of my favorites “princess bride”.

Dude I listened to the video 3 times and you said ” Scratch and sniff Snicker” ( I think you meant sticker) To funny I think you are getting out of practice or just maybe lack of sleep already!!

Nice to hear Mott again. Good show guys.

Thanks but I’ll take your word for it Gary. 12 bones to say yuck no thanks.I could get two of the Simone for that.

I haven’t ordered or rented a movie in a couple years. Try Hulu.com for all sorts of movies and sit com’s. It’s free too! Try kitchen confidential a series that ran only one season but was pretty good. About a restaurant and the staff. Wine and food are always funtertainment.

Nice to have you back. I still think that Hess Select Monterey at 9 bones is the best white wine under $15 bones I may have ever had- You hit that one the head- Now I have to get my back to my dozens of fans!

QOTD: SPACEBALLS!!! Yes, the last movie I rented was spaceballs. I can’t get enough of that movie. I owned it twice, I lost them while moving, I had to see it, I rented it. Still, one of my most favourite movies of all time.

Again, Gary, congratulations on little Mish, I feel sorry for the first guy that shows up to your door to take her out on a date.

Congratulations on the very beautiful baby Mischa – she’s angelic!
Since you are so appreciative of family, I recommend “Moonstruck.” It’s a very touching & funny flick with Nicolas Cage, Cher (her very best role) and Olympia Dukakis. It’s classic! All the best to you & your family.

I’ll look for the Tolosa and comment back..

QOTD: l gotta list @ least 3 fantastic films I’ve seen in the past 8 weeks:
Cinema Paradiso,
Once in a Lifetime: The Extraordinary Story of the New York Cosmos
Some Like it Hot

kinda all over the place but all worth your time. Enjoy.

QOTD: Besides the classics, of course, like Fletch, My Cousin Vinny, Office Space, The Jerk, Airplane, Caddyshack, Risky Business … Casablanca, To Have and Have Not, Chinatown, Double Indemnity … What I’d recommend that’s a little on the fringe is a BBC series called MI-5. Must watch chronologically from beginning to end — fab spy & espionage stuff! In terms of kiddie flicks, highly recommend Hoodwinked (watch Fletch first to catch some nifty nuances) and a cartoon series called Avatar. Good times!

Gary,

Watch The Beast from 1988 with a very young Steven Baldwin playing support. It is a beautiful movie with epic scenery of a 1980’s war – Soviet v. Afghanistan. Awesome lesson about 2 cultures learning from each other. Not really a chic flick to share with your Mrs. but a total Dood war movie.

Every message I leave from now on I am going to ask when you are going to be able to ship to Kansas. Huh! When?

Lots of love,

Jason
