Sorry to hear that. Hope it all works out for the best.

Call Mulder
 

It was a joke. Like, "Huh, huh, I am making fun of what we (including me) do here. But what we do is different. It is more legitimate."

It is called sarcasm.

If people want to continually talk about doing lines of cocaine out of the assholes of board regulars, that is cool with me. I will probably make fun of it, though.

DVDs
 

I have 175 movies and 18 TV series box sets.

Essentials for me would be: Seasons 1 and 2 Buffy. Seasons 3 and 4 X-Files. Aladdin (just came out last week), Aliens, The Big Lebowski, Blazing Saddles, Bull Durham, Casablanca, Clerks, Clue, Die Hard (my favorite Christmas movie), Donnie Darko, Empire of the Sun, Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind, The Fifth Element, Fight Club, A Fish Called Wanda, Ghostbusters, Heathers, the Indiana Jones Box Set minus Temple of Doom, both Kill Bills, LA Confidential, Last of the Mohicans, Lock Stock and Two Smoking Barrels, the Lord of the Rings trilogy (extended versions), the first Matrix, Moulin Rouge!, the Muppet Movie, Office Space, Playing by Heart, The Princess Bride, Pulp Fiction, Raising Arizona, Real Genius, Robin Hood (Disney version, not Kevin Costner abomination), The Royal Tennenbaums, Run Lola Run, Rushmore, Say Anything..., Silence of the Lambs, Silverado, Snatch, So I Married an Axe Murderer, Some Like it Hot, The first Star Wars Trilogy, The Terminator, Thelma and Louise, Tom Jones, True Romance, The Usual Suspects, Victor Victoria, and Young Frankenstein.

I've seen some bad movies in my life, but Days of Thunder is the only one I've felt the need to walk out on. Truth be known, I actually drove out because I was watching it at a drive-in.

3. Spinal Tap
4. Shawshank
5. Black Hawk Down

On topic post
 

Is that a man or a woman? I thought he was a dude, but maybe I missed something...

DVDs
 

Big screen. Big subwoofer. I like the race scenes.

Holy shit! An on-topic post
 

I am so jealous.

I think the key to distinguishing "nice sandals we like" from "crappy hippy/beach sandals we hate" is to condone "dress shoes (including open dress shoes with straps)" or something like that. Agreed that there can be no separate prohibitions for the kankled/pedicure challenged other than those dictated by their own common sense. I think you do not have jurisdiction over pantyhose, though you might pick it up by default if there is no undergarment subcommittee.

I was so busy being shocked that the Bush women crossed their legs at the knees that I didn't think about the openness of the daughters' shoes. Alas, gone are the days when you could at least count on the proper wives of southern politicians to cross their legs like ladies.

dvd -thanks
 

lots of food for thought - thanks everyone.

Why I don't have Say Anything by now is beyond me. Same with Princess Bride. I will remedy that.

DVDs
 

Wouldn't Grand Prix or Ronin (which I accidently left off the above list) work just as well, with slightly better plots? John Frankenheimer definitely knew how to direct car chases and he was very good about getting the sound right.

DVDs
 

I can only tell you which ones we have, because I can't really say I have a "must have" list, as I only recently got a DVD player, and was doing all right without it, but I digress. Here is the DVD selection chez dtb:

• Office Space
  The Shawshank Redemption
  Babette's Feast (there was an article referencing this movie in the food section of the NYT this week, and I was so heartened to discover that there are others -- well, at least one other person --who love this movie, and "feel" it as deeply as I did -- that sounds corny, but there it is)
  Sense & Sensibility (the Emma Thompson version)
  Trading Places
  Simpsons (random seasons)
  Sponge Bob - Season One (I know, this is very low-brow, but I can't help it -- I think it's hilarious)
  The Office (my most oft-lent DVD, by the way)
  LOTR Trilogy
  Spirited Away (a kids' movie -- but awesome)

I will probably buy Sweet Home Alabama -- not because it's a particularly good movie (or even a little good), but I could stare at the dude who plays the southern husband all day long...


Now that I've read everyone else's lists, I will give my oh-so-coveted endorsement to the following selections:

• Crouching Tiger
  Fight Club
  Kill BillS
  Usual Suspects
  Spinal Tap
  Princess Bride (I actually have this -- but on tape, so technicaly, I couldn't include it in my prior list -- I'm a stickler for rules -- except for the one about answering your question -- you know, the FIVE thing?)

DVDs
 

Not as big a fan of GP cars, and I've not seen Ronin. (Guess I should, huh?)

(Good grief, BTW, I don't watch Cruise movies for the PLOT!)

DVDs
 

Ronin and Bullitt (which I am now adding to the list - thank you both for triggering this one for me) have the best car chase scenes ever. imho
