Movie List

Found this on the net: Ken Jenning’s Top Movies List

I recently finally got around to seeing “The Good, The Bad, and the Ugly”, it’s a good guy movie, but I haven’t a clue how it got to be 24th on the IMDB list. Just another example of how bogus that list is.

Also saw “Bottle Rocket”, Wes Anderson’s first film. If you liked The Royal Tenenbaums or Rushmore, you’ll dig it. Check it out and don’t forget that The Life Aquatic with Steve Zissou will be coming out soon. (I’ll add hyperlinks later.)

And finally, “The Station Agent” which is set in rural New Jersey and stars Peter Dinklage, who happens to be 4 feet 5 inches tall. Nice quirky, character driven film. Don’t expect much plot or a nicely tied together ending. ANother art house type piece. I’ve heard the little guy gets mad ass, not sure if that’s true or not.

Metafilter has a thread about Bush’s speech tomorrow: news article

These two comments cracked me up: (Note though, that this speech won’t be televised.)

This promises to be the electioneering equivalent of the Star Wars Kid: there he’ll be, puffing and posing and thrashing away at an opponent who conveniently isn’t there. Jesus, we’ve all had our “I shoulda said” moments, but this is pitiful. When do I get this kind of do-over?
