Complete with mini-reviews. I'm almost done. Suggestions welcome, especially for more comedy but No Spaceball-ass type crap! Hep me get right with Jesus.
Working for a company specializing in digital electronics, during meetings we talk about power alot.
We talk about not enough power, too much power, harnessing the power, re-circulating the power, tripping up the power, lowering & increasing the power & I don't know why we don't just say magic because then meetings would be more interesting to me.
Or unicorns, as in There were too many unicorns in capacitor R12 so it blew the board. We also talk alot about "ohms & heat," terms I feel should be replaced with "dolphins & skittles."
Ex: We had to add a 2nd layer to the board to distribute the magic unicorns because, with only a 22 dolphin resistor, there are just too many skittles.
See? It would help me listen better.
I don't understand why I'm not president, because a world where I am not president is a world I DON'T BELONG IN.
Cut 6 inches off my security blanket. I always wait too long to have my hair trimmed, so that the stylist scolds me the entire time, which in turn deters me from wanting to come back soon. So my hair is puffy now & very My Little Pony. If I drew some apples on my ass you would lose me in the herd.
Sadly, I lose my keys constantly, & no matter what advice I take. I have problems keeping inanimate objects affixed to my person, wallets, credit cards, driver's licenses, receipts, keys are like appendages or removable skin tags. My girl now seeks out my keys & has put a hook in the wall where she hangs them for me. She came up with this herself & has also taken to writing me saccharine letters. She puts them in my roller skates, pushes them to me, then runs to hide & watch me read them from some secret place.
It is like having her gave me permission to love myself. Even my flaws are paraphrased to me so that I may reconsider & improve. I made love & she walks. She has jelly on her chin. She sings loudly in my bathroom, making moves to her reflection.

no subject
Date: 2007-03-16 05:07 pm (UTC)i don't know about woody allen. i can't cleanse my head of what happened between him & mia farrow so that it messes with my perception in his movies, like when i see a richard geer flick i always wonder if there was a gerbil in his butt the whole time.
no subject
Date: 2007-03-16 05:31 pm (UTC)lol
focus on diane keaton-- not that it'll be hard to do. woody might have all the witty one-liners but keaton's performance is so adorable in the film.

hello sweet cupcake face
Date: 2007-03-16 08:45 pm (UTC)no one ever told me about Wild at Heart. i was pissed i hadn't seen it sooner. I’m a robber and a manslaughterer and I haven’t had any parental guidance.
no subject
Date: 2007-03-16 09:59 pm (UTC)- Philadelphia Story (romantic comedy w/Kate Hepburn & Cary Grant and an amazing script)
- Jump Tomorrow (quirky & charming romantic comedy)
- The Stunt Man (drama w/some comedy: Peter O'Toole and a very smart script)
- Gallipoli (one of the best anti-war movies ever)
- The Wicker Man (original version. Spooky/sexy thriller.)
- Wings of Desire (a bit slow, but Oh! the language and oh! the cinematography)

suggestions...
Date: 2007-03-16 10:10 pm (UTC)Il Postino - Italian, about Pablo Neruda
Those are two that have blown me away recently. But they aren't comedies :)
some others:
Amelie
Citizen Kane
Clockwork Orange (this one's on my list)
The Graduate
2001 Space Odessey (you have my permission to fast forward through this monstrosity lol)
This 'movies to watch before you die' is a great idea, btw. :)

Date: 2007-03-16 10:45 pm (UTC)um...My Neighbor Totoro! Which is heart-clenchingly adorable.
I liked Kung-Fu hustle and also suggest Shaolin Soccer. Just don't go into them in a serious mood.
I love Jacob's Ladder, it's a classic mindfuck.
Oh I have Withnail & I on my list, too. So many movies, so little time.
I've been more into tv-series' lately. It's the best way to take advantage of netflix.
