I have, Corbin ...
I thought it was above average ... a little long, though ... Daniel Craig makes a decent, if somewhat more stoic, James Bond ... of course, he's no George Lazenby.

One time, I had a nightmare in which the late Gene Siskel was replaced (on his tv show) by a wisecracking android.
It was really scary.

HAHAHA, Mad. Chipmunks are too, too, .... can't think of what to say. LOL maybe I'd better pick the robot after all. I always liked R2D2.

I always hated Alvin, TAPS ...
Simon, too.
Theodore, I was ambivalent about.

mademoiselle, Of the two, I'll take the chipmunk. Alvin would have been cute saying, "Glory to God in the highest and on earth peace, goodwill toward men."

However, they still could have (slightly) tweaked the story a bit, TAPS ...
Say, by adding a talking chipmunk, or even a sassy robot.
Something minor like that.

Mademoiselle, Good quote from Keillor. I always felt the same way about having to remind my husband that it was our anniversary. I'm rather glad that there were no surprises in
The Nativity Story. I like the same ol' same ol' this time of year.

Sounds like you liked at least one out of three.
Thanks for the heads up on the other two. It'll save me time and money!

too Freudian, and the weird thing is that just after i wrote that, his best
friend called, about a housing loan, he's a realtor we're looking into getting a house. I love synchronistic weird coincidences

Yeah, Troosha, and I suspect even people, such as myself, who were not particularly familiar with Garrison Keillor will adore it.

I absoluted LOVED Prairie Home Companion
Wasn't it marvelolus? For those of you who haven't rented it - give it a try. It's tender, it's history, it's human, and it's quirky.

Woops, I did it again, I mixed up Mark Wahlberg with Jan Wahlstrom, my
now ex-neighbor. Freudian very Freudian, jan was hot. 31, too young for me, but rowwwwr.

I first realized Mark Wahlberg was more than just a (semi-)pretty face in "Boogie Nights".

IMO, it was the best movie I saw this year, Strat.
Despite the varied topics, Altman's movies always had a certain special something.

nah, the goatee does nothing for me, but to each their own.
I just think he's more complex now, maybe always was, but more interesting. Did you see The Departed? That was a fantastic movie, Mark Wahlstrom blew me away, I haven't seen him since he was Marky Mark with the droopy pants.

Prairie Home Companion was a GREAT movie.
I didn't realize Altman had directed it, but it makes sense.

What's mediocre for the adults might satisfy the kids. We might watch The Nativity too.

I don't think "Blood Diamond" opens until next week here, though.

Although, I wouldn't say people should necessarily

Wait, I think I've heard of it, it probably opened here in the last week or
so. Leonardo is finally getting old enough to be interesting to me.

Another good Garrison Keillor line (from "A Prairie Home Companion"):
"I'm of an age when if I started to do eulogies, I'd be doing nothing else."
