[drothgery]

Which is something of a misnomer, as the finals are in April again.

Ya, but the conference tournements are this week and most of the NCAA Tournement is in March. Been some really good games so far.

Just saw Forbidden Planet. That was lots of fun. The girl playing the love interest is HOT.

Saw two very good movies yesterday.

The first was The Virging Suicides directed by Sofia Coppolla
and starring James Woods, Kirsten Dunst, Josh Harnett and a bunch
of actors I knew but did not remember the name of. Very good movie.

The other was Bonnie and Clyde directed by Arthur Penn and
starring Warren Beatty, Fay Dunaway, Gene Hackman and more. This
classic was a little different than I expected mostly because it's always
been described to me as somewhat brutal, but what I got was a rather
sappy (yet very good) romance. Well, I guess it's brutal for it's day.
Still, if anything it only made the movie better and I must say that this
is one movie that left something behind.

I just saw the Count of Monte Cristo, running on the movie channels for the first time. I really, really liked it! I've never read the book, so I can't make a comparison, but the movie is very fun.

Count of Monte Cristo was great! But I saw that a few months ago...

Saw Minority Report and was forced to sit through Undercover Brother (which, fortunately, wasn't quite as bad as Master of Disguise). I'll soon be checking out Bourne Identity, Blue Crush, Lilo & Stitch and Ballistic: Ecks vs Sever.

Slowly working my way through season 1 of Angel, which, unfortunately, doesn't compare to the current season, which is the only TV show I'm currently watching that isn't in repeat mode. I still want to watch my X-Men 1.5 DVD, which I got because I never picked up the original, and I think I'll get that Army of Darkness: Boomstick Edition DVD, I reeealy need to own that movie.

Besides CNN, saw a whole bunch of movies. Highlight must be Jav Jan Svankmejer's Faust. Wildly imaginative, it's one of the best retelling of the tale. Other highlights include Balzac and the Little Seamstress, a chinese movie that's quite watchable and entertaining about two young men sent to a village for 'reeducation', and Truly Human, a Dogma film about a young man who lived behind walls coming alive.

Watched Eddie Izzard's newest routine on VHS, Circle and
well... Eddie never fails. Hillarious as usual. With every CD/tape I
watch I believe he's gettin' closer and closer to dethrone Billy
Connelly as the king of stand up comedy.

Also saw Robin Williams Live at Broadway HBO Special on
video. Pretty solid stuff. But man, what a motormouth. He throws
joke after joke off him so fast that it's hard to keep up. And I
thought he was hyper in talk shows, that is nuttin' compared to
this. There was a lot of rewindin' done to catch all the puns.

You mean that catapult show on TLC where those guys tried to make that huge Roman catapult?

That catapult was a POS.

The catapult was pretty poor.

But I thought it was fairly cool watching them figure out how to build it. I would never have imagined a design like that tho.

I thought the whole "do it in 10 days" angle was kind of lame. The Romans had built hundreds of those things, and didn't need to figure things out as they went, so trying to beat the Romans didn't really add anything as far as I was concerned.

And they tossed a pretty big rock 90 meters with it. Broke the catapult, but it did work once.
