I know, I know. But then again did you see my 2008 holiday greeting video?


None of these movies being mention are giving me doable spoofs for December's video. :(

I liked both the Name of the Rose and Foucault's Pendulum -- the Name of the Rose more -- but I found that both books are in large part about how much Eco knows. And he knows a lot.

It also helps to know a bit about 13th century church history to understand the Name of the Rose :eek:

Both versions are great. They are really quite different.

I'm a fan of Better Off Dead. "I want my two dollars!!!"

I would prefer a self-inflicted punch to the groin.

I need to get some sleep.

I don't recall seeing it.


HTML coding has made me weary. I can't wait until I can just enjoy the big November event instead of spending time preparing for it... <yawn> Time for bed. Night, b:rolleyes:x... <yawn>

Anything with Will Ferrell in it is mindless and not very entertaining.

Didn't see it. Where is it?

A singer named Miles Fisher did a spoof of American Psycho to a Talking Heads song. Brilliant.

I'm a bit surprised you don't have The Incredible Shrinking Man.

I can think of at least another 1/2 dozen Hitchcock that should be on there.

You won't show an Adam Sandler movie for me? Really????:confused:
