243) Used Cars. Looks like we got ourselves a convoy...
244) One Foot In Hell. I gotta have at least one western every weekend. This was REALLY good. Alan Ladd was a total freakshow by the end and the story was great.
245) Down With Love. If I had a nickel for every time vomit rose in my throat...
246) In America. It took me forever to realize the dad is the same guy that played Joy Division's manager in 24 Hour Party People. Anyway, this was so great. If I had normal human emotions I would have cried my freaking eyes out.
247) New York Minute. I'm totally down with whichever one doesn't have the eating disorder/drug problem. Now you can make a smartass comment about Lolita, whoever you are (Jana)!
248) From Justin to Kelly. I have never been more embarassed for a group of people in my whole life. I've also never laughed at the unintentional hilarity of a movie so hard in my whole life either. Awesome.
248 down, 752 to go
FINALLY a new Desperate Housewives. How cute was Bree with her little tennis outfit and pig tails? And at the end, with the green shirt? HER EYES! She should always have on green. I am so in love with her.

I don't understand how you can get past the general skankyness of Desperate Housewives. That whole show is just (to use a Todd Jones quote) "nothin but a bunch of women who don't care about nothin 'cept getting boned regular". Yet another time the must see event of the season has turned out to be crap.
watch a show before you decide to make comments, cause there is only one legitametely skanky character in the whole thing (nicolette sheridan) and one who might be kind of skanky for the whole affair thing but has redeemed herself of late. it's a soap opera. it's supposed to be trashy and silly, but its also cleverly written and plotted and well acted all around and i'd dare say its one of the best (if not THE best) shows to come along in the past ten years. the mangled quote is what i said about sex in the city and i stand by it, while also acknowledging that by the end of its run the writers began exploring actual depths to the characters and giving them a little more to do than "fuck like a man." it still wasn't my cup of tea because the characters annoyed the absolute bejesus out of me, but i have no problem admitting that it got much better later on.
"kind of skanky for the whole affair thing"? I'm gonna go with definitly on that one. And I've seen plenty to make a judgement, thank you. Apart from the bed-hopping you've the "good" mom scrubbing blood off the driveway to cover up for her worthless kid. "Cleverly written" pseudo-porn is still pseudo-porn. Chalk another one up to the Maxim generation.
"pseudo porn"? do you know how stupid you sound in front of people who watch and enjoy the show and appreciate it for what it is instead of casting a cold eye of judgement and seeing exactly what they want to see which is apparently what you are doing?
"do you know how stupid you sound in front of people who watch and enjoy the show and appreciate it for what it is" I love the "us and them" nature of that; as if my sophistication level is determined solely by how much i "appreciate" Desperate Housewives. First off, I honestly don't care how many people "watch and enjoy....etc." a show, I'm gonna make my own determination. A lot of people watched and enjoyed 7th Heaven, but I always thought it was sanctimonius crap, so I didn't watch it. I honestly don't care how many other people dig something if I don't care for it myself. I refer you, again, to yout own past comments: You were 100 percent behind some celebrity (Rush Limbaugh, maybe? Glenn Beck? I can't remember which one) who abstained from watching The Sopranos because of the absolute moral terpitude of the show. Whoever it was also wisely said that good writing and mass acceptance aren't blanket justifications to throw decency out the window.
this is an us and them kind of thing chris, us being people who can make determinations and judgements on their own and then keep said judgements and determinations to themselves instead of hopping on other peoples blogs and bloviating about how you can't believe the writer doesn't have the same opinion as you. i don't recall saying anything like "hey, what did you guys think about desperate housewives last night?", because i didn't. i didn't ask for your opinion because i don't want your opinion because i don't really care what your opinion is. if you don't like the show, you don't like the show, so don't watch it and don't give people that do a hard time and get all "7th heaven" on us by acting sanctimonious about the morality of the show. i never made any decisions not to watch the sopranos (it was glenn beck) for moral reasons because i've never felt convicted not to watch it, or desperate housewives or the oc or any other number of trashy shows that i've enjoyed in the past so don't start giving me shit about what i watch when i never asked you to.
This might be the entertaining day on your blog ever!

This will be my last comment as I fear this exchange is verging on becoming personal (for the record I was just looking for a little spirited bric-a-brac, not something that degenrates into us yelling "Your Mom!" back and forth). I had to say one last thing, however: "us being people who can make determinations and judgements on their own and then keep said judgements and determinations to themselves" I find that line hilariously ironic as THE WHOLE POINT of a blog is to air your opinion so that every Johnny New Eggs (my current favorite "Friends" line) with a PC can access your two cents. There. I'm done. Feel free to rip me apart.

as usual, you aren't getting the point here. this blog is for people to keep up with what movies i've watched in this whole thing and here what i have to say about them and for ME to post MY OPINION about whatever I choose to. it is in no way a place for you to come and pass judgement and shoot your mouth off about topics that you have clearly shown you have no clue about. just as i'd expect you to have the class and decorum not to come into my home and make snotty comments about how you can't believe i would buy such and such cd or read such and such book i also expect you to have the class and decorum to keep your comments positive and if you happen to disagree with an opinion of mine to bite your tongue and keep that to yourself. start your own damn blog if you feel the constant need to make sure everyone knows how you feel on any given subject.
Hmm, I'm not sure how my name came to pass on your blog, especially referencing a Nabakov book that I have never (unfortunately) read. I do seem to recall that the title character was around 13, not the legal 18 the Olsen twins have attained. I do know you like them young, but not that young. :) If I were going to compare you to a character in fiction, it would probably have to be Mr. Knightley from Austen's Emma. I'll let you ponder that one for awhile, and we'll discuss the next time you visit our fair city.
