Chicago: customers are advised to allow extra travel time

I like Before Sunset too.

I'd like to see the Madison shots in Last Kiss, but don't think I can deal with all this Braff.

(I'd rather just watch Back to School again)

The talky romantic movie must die.

I say that, though, without having seen any of the movies Eazy mentioned.

I admired Sunrise enormously when it came out, but having seen it again recently, I agree that Sunset is the better film. I'd like to think that it's in part because Delpy and Hawke co-wrote it.

The talky romantic movie must die.

No.

:(

Non-talky romance

Richard Linklater must die.

I could hug you for saying that. It would be so romantic.

I like talky movies in general.

me too, tbh, but too much meet-cute makes me woozy

I've randomly been catching chapters of this Frank Lloyd Wright book on NPR (usually when driving home after a beery gig) and it's pretty interesting. I hadn't heard about these murders before! And I've been up around Spring Green a lot.

I want to post to the "two true things and one lie" thread, but I can't think of two true things about myself that everyone doesn't already know.

:(

what about that procedure you had done? does everyone know about that?

you mean the partial lobotomy? I think they do.

oh, and the other thing, too

well, except for my girlfriend. I haven't told her yet.

The thing that's neat about both Once and Before Sunset is that they're talky anti-romantic movies in a way, or at least they're coming around to love and intimacy in a way that isn't about sex.

Whereas, The Last Kiss from what I saw you get to see Braff rather explicitly doing the deed and using the 'f' word and scowling and all. The bit I saw was more interesting than I would've thought, though not enough to keep me from turning it off and going to bed.

they're coming around to love and intimacy in a way that isn't about sex

YAWN

;)

I like sex in my movies. Also, violence. I am unashamed of this.

I do too, K., but now that we all aren't saving ourselves before marriage, the storyline where it's the hooking up that provides the epiphany of true love and intimacy seems a little out of date. Whereas playing a song with someone....

point taken.

There's the less talk, more action.

leaf & I watched black snake moan last night.

What did you think, Kelsey? (I haven't seen it.)

to be fair, i fell asleep during it so leaf had to recap the ending for me. aside from it being just a bizarre movie, which i usually go for, i think i'm going to come out on the side of not liking it although many of the performances were decent i just couldn't get into the story line.

but there is more sex in it than i anticipated which is why i thought of it.

I watched Monster's Ball the other night. Great soundtrack.

Not too talky.

burned by impawards.com. It will never stop happening.

Maybe this'll work better:

Kenan I think you owe the boobs and bums thread profuse apologies.

"Wild at Heart" was the QUINTESSENTIAL "Hey, wanna come over and watch a movie [translation you want a backrub maybe i could touch your boobies]" movie and was used on me in this fashion THREE TIMES. My friends reported having it used on them as well on 4 separate occasions.

That's Grade-A YUCK.

Can't resist that Bobby Peru.

Yes. Yes I can.

speaking of the bum/boobs thread, i feel slightly weirded out by that thread. why not add dick measurements to the mix? does it seem a bit odd or off to anyone else?

yes

xp Hahaha that reminds me of the douchebag Katie and I sort-of knew who was well known for using The Giving Tree in similar seductive fashion. GAG

i'm glad i'm not alone on that one!

In high school Stranger Than Paradise worked well because the girl was so bored and there was so much dead air (I mean, it's one of my favorite movies) that I think she felt like she had to make something happen because nothing much was going on onscreen.

I have a knack for choosing the most inappropriate movies for dates, though: Your Friends & Neighbors, Lost Highway, The Proposition.

lol @ all those movies as date movies!

Worst date movie I ever went to see: Leaving Las Vegas. Except I did not pick it, so I was off the hook. Still, no action for me that night!

I haven't seen ANY of those movies!

As for inappropriate movies though, a friend of mine when she recently started dating this woman who lost her hamster said, "why don't you come over, we'll watch a movie & have a chill night and you won't have to think about anything serious, etc." Well, they ended up watching garden state since that is what she had from netflix which happens to be the only movie we could think of with a dead hamster scene in it!

Wet Hot American Summer is great date movie. :>

leaving las vegas is a really bad date movie. worst one for me was mysterious skin, i think.

kelsey: yes.

omg this is a compendium of the worst date movies ever

leaving las vegas? that's like fun repellent.

I know, right!?! That must've been the reason she picked it :(
