Yuk. Gross. Anyway, you don't need us or our stupid opinions. You've got soul but you're not a soldier.

You, I am sure will be glad to learn that Pansy Division has reunited.

This has been rather a long winter, and it seems as though it's just getting longer. (I suppose the definitive answer to whether it is or not will be determined next week -- and a most especially Happy Birthday to anyone whose birthday happens to fall on Groundhog Day.)

Which is a lovely segway-way into my query. I need to buy some movies that are good, but that are appropriate for kids and their parents. You know, crowd pleasers. So far, my list is woefully short, as it includes only Groundhog Day and Dirty Rotten Scoundrels.

This reminds me of that Counting Crows song.

And to answer your question, Zoolander. Not exactly kid-appropriate, but fuck it. They grow up fast anyway these days. And it's funny.

You mean, like having security guards gang-tackle the kid because he got into the players' lockerroom runway?

I'm not old school enough to know the origin of the "Friday fights," but it has always struck me as stupid. As flower pointed out, we should try not to fight less, but if we need to fight why have the day stop us, or more accurately, why let Friday generate a fight? So in theory I'm against the practice.

But what i realize happens in practice, is that when some hare-brained sock does a "Happy Friday" post, then I want to attack them, which in a very circular way, makes me part of the problem.

I forgot I already have Iron Giant (and yes, it's a good one). Thanks - the population of my list has now doubled!!

If the kids are in their teens Diner and Annie Hall. I love Diner, and just watched it with my son last week, and he laughed out loud at parts.

Why do people buy movies, rather than rent them? Other than Trading Places, which one could watch an infinite number of times and it would still remain funny.

We need more details. What age? My kids are quite fond of Mønti Pythøn ik den Høli Gräilen and the Princess Bride, but I wouldn't recommend either for the under-6 crowd.

Warning: you will hear "Burn Her! Burn Her!" or "You have a gift for rhyme" over and over again after they see these.

Yeah, I don't really care if you think the genre sucks. I just think it is stupid to go on an internet chat board and complain about a band not being rock and roll enough if that is not their thing. Would changing the delivery of the vocals change your opinion of the band? No.

The delivery on that blasted Icky Thump song makes me want to find Jack White and rip his eyelashes out one by one, but I'm not sure that I would like the song even if he belted it out a la Neil Diamond. It really just isn't my thing.

I bet that woman with 14 kids wouldn't show them Zoolander.
