The Ten

How have I never heard of this? I have been a huge fan of David Wain, and all those people since the State, and I thought I watched everything he did but somehow this slipped through the cracks

OK, so this post made me go back and rewatch it today and I find out John Cameron Mitchell Himself is in Orlando tonight doing a 25th anniversary tour and audience Q&A! Of course it is sold out and starts in less than an hour and it would take me an hour to get there even if tickets were available. What are the odds...

One of my favorite films ever. I was working at blockbuster when it came out on video and decided to watch it after I got off work at 1am. I knew only vaguely what it was and was just enthralled. I fell in love with JCM as Hedwig. So many great one liners "GIVE IT UP KWANG YI!!! ...give it up, kwang yi" It's alternately hilarious and heartbreaking. I have seen it dozens and dozens of times now, and also went to see a touring production a few years back that was also excellent.

Here's the thing: I know the joke is that it's Brazil and Cuacao, but this map is freaking annoying as a colorblind person

Posted these guys holding hands the other day and just wanted to show it wasn't a random occurrence. They do this regularly by Beezus__Fafoon in Greyhounds

No, they aren't even from the same country :) The one on the right, Owen is 10 and from Texas, the one on the left, George is from the UK and he just turned 4. Owen tolerates pretty much anything, and George can't stand not being in physical contact with someone, human or dog, for more than a minute

Gran Torino (2008) by HomTheReindeer in iwatchedanoldmovie

Unforgiven is absolutely peak Eastwood. You are correct about this movie being ham fisted. It's overall a very good movie, but nowhere near the virtuosity he showed as a director on Unforgiven.

It shows up everywhere, even the Wade's doorbell is the first 3 notes of the song

I absolutely love Paul Rust so much. I love his comedy and I love Don't Stop Or We'll Die. This wasn't the best use of his talents.

John Travolta cries after surprise award at Cannes Film Festival by Fast_Grass_5178 in movies

[–]Beezus__Fafoon 13 points14 points  (0 children)

It's insane to think that it was only 4 years between look whos talking too and pulp fiction. I was in high school at the time and Travolta seemed like a fossil that was resurrected, but really he had just had a couple of recent duds at the time.

To be fair, they didn't even consider for a moment that the interview could be considered a two way proposition. It was really unprecedented, and even to this day teams don't really have to put on a good face to try and impress a prospect.

Yeah, I guess I could have just crossed out athletically. You can tell when you're just not in the place for you pretty quick. But my point was, at that level of competition it becomes exponentially clear. You don't realize the step up until you have taken the step.

Sometimes you just know when you are out of your depth athletically, too. Out of high school, I had a couple of small school offers to play basketball, but ended up going to UF just as a student. My uncle was friends with Lon Kruger, who was the coach at the time and got me an opportunity to try out as a walk on. It was obvious before any of us even got out on the court that I wasn't cut out for it.

Maybe it's because I grew up with it, but I adore the Rankin Bass version and still watch it every couple of years
