Mis y Mas

...I mean, adviser.

Because I suspect yorufukagawa doesn't believe we get our minimum DV of protein packed Kung Fu movies.

And do any of you play mah jong?

Yorufu's LJ post seems to give these Two Toes Up. Maybe ten.

And just realized I never saw Shanghai Noon or the sequels, nor Kung Fu Hustle, despite promises, promises.

Thank goddess for Netflix.

As part of Mr. Snuffy's Netflix account, we've been viewing films of Dicken's works.

During Christmas was a 1990s BBC minisieries of Oliver Twist, because we wanted as much of the book as possible. Next Christmas will check out David Lean's and Polanski's versions.

Finished last night 1999 Masterpiece Theatre version. And Hogwarts showed up again.

Daniel Radcliffe as young David, and quite good.
Maggie Smith as Betsy Trotwood.
Zoe Wanamaker as Miss Murdstone, and a right bitch. LOVELY scene with she and Maggie sniping at each other without addressing each other.
Imelda Staunton as Mrs. Micawber. (Very tempted to make a list of Staunton movies and see her other work.)

Brief bit with Dawn French, but she was only a portrait at Hogwarts, so that doesn't count. And David Copperfield spends a few years of horrendous tutelage under Gandalf.

Ah. Just found out the Mr. Snuffy enjoyed this movie so much, he's ordered a copy, and will explore the book.

Off to update the Netflix lineup. I'm going to get the 1999 "WTF?" version of Mansfield part.

And then I need of list of movies to watch. I've got a few decades to catch up with.

Too many times I've said I would do social events, and did not. Usually could not.

However, am starting to catch up on my social obligations and/or pleasures.

I have yet to complete the assignment of going to the Varsity.
Am hoping to see "La Vie en Rose" when it arrives.

Any opinions or ideas on this from you folk?
(I missed Volver---however, I did notice they had copies for sale at my local Hollywood video---may fetch myself a copy if not too much.

And did anyone ever see "Oh in Ohio?")

Yep, I'm a Rickman junkie.....

wondering about seeing this, especially after seeing the trailer.
I'm a wuss.

Seems like a split among the critics

trailer can be accessed here.

but does anyone want to give a movie night/afternoon another whack.

Specifically....I haven't seen Pride and Prejudice yet. In Sac area, there's a theatre in Elk Grove and The Tower. Don't know if they will still be there by this weekend.

And a few playing in the Bay area.

Has anyone not seen this, or want to see it again.
Then again, how could anyone resist seeing, over and over, one of the most charismatic male characters in classic fiction, brought to life on the screen. Ohhh, that Mr. Collins......

Serenity, that is.

Feeling less than serene about that fact.

Must fix this in the next week.

Me. Some soda and popcorn.
And a fast backhand to any asshole sitting behind me who feels the need to announce replicate dialogue.
