I'm almost ashamed to admit it but I just watched Pirahna which netflix suggested based on me liking Jaws.

It starts with Richard Dreyfus getting eaten while fishing and then becomes this mass slaughter of half naked college kids at Lake Havasu during spring break.

Really hard to watch at times and I wouldn't watch it again but DAYUM that was some senseless mass death and dismemberment.

If they have the lookout I highly suggest it. Got nikkiblue to watch it the other day and she loved it.

The ending was absolutely fantabulous!!!!!! Perfect comic relief.

Julius, here's your reminder to watch The Truman Show on Netflix. Despite the always "perfect" conditions in Seahaven (town Truman lives in), he was compelled to break out. <wink wink, nudge nudge>

Watched The Life Aquatic last night. Seemed like a bit of a Jacques Cousteau spoof.

That one of my favorites!

Mothersbaugh with Ping Island and Sue Jorge with the Bowie covers, can't beat it!

Theres a nature show called Turtle that follows a baby seasturtle from egg, to floating in seaweed, to finding a maye, to motherhood. Exceptional watch, really amazing what seaturtles go thru in their 40 year lifespan.

People actually like The Life Aquatic? That movie makes me want to stab myself in the eye.

...not that it's any of your business anyways

[hoagie]

Meatballs released July 1979
Loose Shoes released Aug 1980

[Java Time]

I see...I was puzzled because he has a small role in loose shoes. maybe it was only released because of meatballs.

please don't. tell Bill I didn't know that.

Have you ever seen The Milagro Beanfield War?

Saw about an hour of this one last night, very much liking it thus far.

[Tim the Beek]

One of my all time favorites.

If you're looking for shorter things to watch (Me: When I'm doing dishes, cooking or have a short attention span) the TED talks are often fantastic
Netflix has gone and seperated them by theme, but even if you don't think you'd like the 'theme', (nearly) all of the movies are wonderfully engaging.

Some of the themes I've seen TEDtalks from

Sex Secrets and Love
Smart Laughs
Chew on This (Of course)
The Capitalism Paradox

A great one :-)

[Tim the Beek]

Brené Brown's vulnerability talk at TED is one of the most powerful things I've seen on film (or pixels, or whatever).

[Tim the Beek]

[TEO]

Oh cool, sometimes I am looking for something substantial but that is an hour or less in duration.

[hoagie]

Netflix has all 8 seasons of the original Transformers cartoon. I pick my way thru these now and then, especially saturday mornings when im alone. Then i break out a huge bowl of cereal and nostalgia is conplete

Thank you (ladygingechilla as well) that was well worth the 20 minutes!

If everyone viewed that and, um, took it to heart, the world would be a much kinder, happier place.

Network (1976) is filled with relevant social commentary, highly recommended.

"When a network news anchor loses his mind on the air, his outrageous rants reach viewers at home, boost the ratings and intrigue a pair of cutthroat network executives in this Oscar-winning masterpiece that predicted today's rash of trash television."

Paranormal Activity 2.

The Girl - starring Debbie Rachon (30 seconds worth) worse movie ever made (I shit you not)...can be found on Amazon as a rental. pretty fu@#'n funny though...I think whomever tried to make this movie shot their load ($$$) on Debbie and this song and had 8 bucks to put together another 80 minutes

you'd have go all Colorado to view the movie and actually sit through it...

but this full song was in it...believe it is the chick from the cartoon Jem?

[Java Time]

the movie is so baaad they took away the comments section for the trailer

[ladygingechilla]

Can't sleep so I've been watching some documentaries on Netflix

A Matter of Taste: Serving Up Paul... - food
Le Cirque: A Table in Heaven - food
Enlighten Up! - Yoga
Ram Dass: Fierce Grace - Ram Dass' recovery from a stroke <- about 1/4 the way through

[Mind Left Body]

I watched an amazing documentary the other night called Salute. It is about Tommie Smith and John Carlos, the two black athletes at the 1968 Olympic Games who gave the black power salute from the victory dais after the 200 meters. What I found interesting was the story behind the 3rd person standing on that dais, Australian Peter Norman. I won't say anymore but I was educated and moved by this documentary. I recommend this one highly,

i streamed food inc. from amazon the other day.

it's a pretty effective, somewhat graphic, dissection of the industrial food business. it didn't flip me out because i already changed what and how i eat, and this movie simply confirmed much of what i already know, and what i believe you already know. all the same, it was good to have the point hammered home again.
