It rained here yesterday. A lot. When it rains even a little bit, we lose our satellite signal. Also, when we get heavy lightning storms, we totally disconnect and unplug our computers from the wall. Out of boredom, I grabbed a VHS at random on which I had taped (but never watched) several films from TCM. Soooo, yesterday, we spent the afternoon watching Stanley Kubrick's 1962 version of LOLITA. I'm a James Mason fan anyway, so the film already had a certain appeal to me. Interesting and a little depressing but as usual for a Kubrick film, extremely well-made. We liked it.
After that was the 3rd viewing for my wife and the 9000th viewing for me (OK, I'm exaggerating) of EASY RIDER.

Wall*E - in the theatre - Cute and trite. Entertaining, but when you leave the theatre the plot is all but instantly forgetable.
Get Smart - in the theatre - MUCH better then it had any right to be. If you loved the old series, there are plenty of fun in-jokes. If you really loath "I Love Lucy" type humor, there wasn't any.

"the secret of NIMH" (1982) breathtaking, in every aspect. Don Bluth and his studio KNEW THEIR CRAFT.

 I remember well taking my girlfriend to the movie theatre to see "Easy Rider". It made quite an impression on me and certainly was part of the influence that resulted in my purchase of a new FXE-1200 in 1977!

Saw the latest Indiana Jones Crystal Skull Thing last night. It was entertaining, which is what I expected. I saw the first one, didn't like Temple of Doom at all, didn't see the one with 'Dad' Connery, so I'm no 'Indy', but it was enjoyable enough.

Finally sat down and watched the 1968 Steve McQueen movie - The Thomas Crowne Affair, after capturing it on the Tivo.
What a cool movie, really enjoyed the first hour with the hip daring millionaire pulling off the caper and cooly matching wits with Faye Dunaway. Cool split screen action too. Then the plot degenerates into a hokey Baretta-style cop drama. But worth a watch. Great soundtrack too with Michel Legrande's Windmills Of Your Mind
