DD, I promise to get off Skyrim and watch TIE and Four Lions at some point this weekend
I do hope you enjoy both. Oh, and don't forget: the Life on Mars watch begins Monday! (Which I realised is, by sheer coincidence, 6 years to the day since the first ep was broadcast!)

I love it. Best comedy of 2010, imo. It's able to handle subject matter as risky for comedy as terrorism and treats it just right, with all the main characters clearly stupid but still fully three dimensional. A very good film.

Heather: I liked it alot! I didn't think I would, but it was pretty good. The only think was that I was a little confused at times because there was so much going on. And I wish Tarantino would've done a little something to distinguish Diane Kruger from Melanie Laurent. I swear, until the last 20 minutes, I thought they were the same person!
SS:
1. Type what you want the text to say (i.e. "2012 Movie List) and highlight it.
2. Click the little icon to the left of the world with a red X.
3. Paste your 2011 post hyperlink into the little window.
4. Hit OK.
And that should do it.

How was Rise of the Planet of the Apes (starring your favorite Oscar host)?
A NEW GAME BEGINS
I love him!
But as for the movie...
It was good. I'd definitely recommend it. But I was expecting something scarier. And I'm not quite sure how I feel about the ending.

I think I'll check it out. I wasn't sure if I'd like it enough to go see it in the theater so Netflix sounds good.

Did I enjoy it at all? I loved it. I thought it was so funny. So many quotable lines. It's one of those films that makes it really hard to recommend to people because it's so hard to make them understand that it's a satire. Once they understand that, it's then even harder to make them understand that the subject matter is funny without being offensive. At least to me anyway. Since watching Four Lions, I've been walking around calling everybody "bro" sometimes pronouncing it with a "v" at the end.
Ricky, thanks for the help! Worked like a charm.

Brilliant, the acting was amazing! The little lad that played Shaun just blew me away. What do I watch next DD, is it TIE 86?
next you watch Life on Mars with us before it is too late
Ask not what bears can do for you, but what you can do for bears. (razz)
When one is in agreement with bears one is always correct. (mae)
bears are back!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I would absolutely recommend TiE '86 and '88. They can be a bit hard to watch at times, but are totally worth it. Both series are equally as good as the film.
