Recent Movies Watched

My girlfriend Jen just returned from The Azores. While she's been getting over jet lag and culture shock, we've been staying at home and watching a bunch of movies. Here's what we've watched:

The Dark Crystal Classic Jim Henson / Frank Oz. Jen is totally a gelfling, so I made her watch it. There's a lot a great muppet creatures that only have one quick shot. I appreciate that.

The Incredibles - a very decent Pixar film. There's some interesting subversive themes in here commenting on current trends in education.

We watched the first 5 minutes of Perfume (too gross for jet lagged person! plus, we were eating dinner. Oook!)

Dave-- This is a guilty pleasure of mine. It's just hollywood fluff, but I kinda like it. Kevin Kline and Sigourney Weaver.

Monsters Inc. -- I own this one.
"Can I borrow your odorant?"
"Yeah, I got, uh, smelly garbage or old dumpster."
"You got, uh, low tide?"
"No."
"How about wet dog?"
"Yep. Stink it up."

Bug's Life Been a while since I seen this one. Eh, So-so.

Sense & Sensibility (The Emma Thompson version) I also own it. and love it. go figure.

The Birdcage Another one on my shelf. I watch it anytime I'm at home sick. It still cracks me up. Nathan Lane is always great, and even Robyn Williams is good in this one too.

Next on the list: Creatures From The Pink Lagoon. I saw it at Broadway Video and was like, "Hey... that guy on the cover looks vaguely familar..." And wouldn't you know it, it's "Awesome"'s own trumpeteer Evan Mosher! Then I looked on the back and lo and behold, the film was co-written by "Awesome"'s own bassist Basil Harris! What the hell is going on here? It's also got Nick Garrison (who is always funny. I saw him some years ago in Hedwig & The Angry Inch at the ReBar) and also John Kaufmann, who directed noSignal and who is currently off in grad school for directing. He used to live in the same building I do. And now Basil lives here. So I went upstairs and grabbed a copy of the movie from him. He warned me: "It's super gay, but it's not porno." Awwww....

Here: I put up a little script that will make some Random Titles. Now you can make your own movies.
