Rose: you must mean my dopehead brother in the basement

Has anyone seen this movie?

Not a blockbuster, but I sure found it funny.

Summertop: yes, we rented it when it first came to DVD. We found it humourous as well. Worth the price of a rental for sure!

Not much worth renting in the new release category this week or next. Sahara is out the 30th but from what I hear, again no blockbuster.

Rose: I saw Sahara in the Theater. It was a very entertaining movie...but I was VERY disappointed. I really enjoyed the book (Clive Cussler). The movie deviated way too much from the book. I also didn't like the casting. I thought the characters were inconsistent with my expectations from the "Dirk Pit" novels.

Summertop: Yea, we seen that when it first came to DVD also - I really liked it.

Best part - 2 guys & a bear:

One guy takes off his shoes.

Second guy says "Why are you taking off your shoes?"

First guy: "I run faster without shoes"

second guy: "You can't outrun a bear"

First guy: "I don't need to outrun the bear - only need to outrun you"

Knot to be dissentive, butt...
"Without A Paddle" looks and feels like it was written, directed and produced 'without a paddle' :P

An eventful little film from vintage 1930, featuring the one and only Three Stooges! Plus tag-along former promoter, Ted Healy. Full of comedy, mayhem and there's even some real fire!
Good for a time trip or nostalgia for the American twirlies!

Oh, and watch out for them sandbags! :D

I heard the cartoon character "foghorn leghorn" was based on a not well known contemporary of W.C.fields who made one movie.
does anyone know who this is & what the movie's name was?

nobleheart: This is what I came up with:

Foghorn Leghorn is a large animated rooster appearing in numerous Warner Brothers cartoons. He first appeared in 1946 in a Henery Hawk film entitled Walky Talky Hawky. Foghorn Leghorn is considered a significant Looney Tunes character, whose sidekick/nemesis was The Barnyard Dog. Many of the gags involved Leghorn and the dog trying to outdo and punish each other.

His voice was created by actor Mel Blanc, heavily patterned after the character of Senator Claghorn, a blustering southern politician who was a regular character on the Fred Allen radio show. Senator Claghorn was created and voiced by radio comedian Kenny Delmar. Foghorn Leghorn used a number of Claghorn's catch phrases, like "That's a joke... I say, that's a joke, son". The references to Senator Claghorn were obvious to much of the audience when the Foghorn Leghorn cartoons first premiered, but like many of the references in WB cartoons of the era, they have since become dated and "go over the heads" of most modern-day audiences.

A leghorn is a breed of chicken, and foghorn describes the character's loud, overbearing voice. At its most raucous, it sounds similar to Blanc's Yosemite Sam.

nobleheart: this is a site about the creator of foghorn leghorn, I havent read it so I dont know if it will help....

this is the only place I have ever seen where you can get the movie.I have only seen it on tv once ..years ago.

nobleheart: yup that is pretty much what my reply to you said

I wonder if ABC's Invasion TV show will still start when scheduled.

I know I'm about a year late(!) but I'd be interested to hear what other people thought of 'Passion Of Christ'? I loved it but my partner hated it. What are other peoples opinions and why?

harley: I'd like to hear opinions also. We didnt get it only because it is in arabic and I really dont enjoy subtitles. I heard it was very moving tho

I'm not normally keen on subtitles either, but honestly almost from the start you're so into the film you don't even notice. They may as well be speaking English. Its very, very moving. Theres not many films I think about for a long time after but that was one, and I'll be watching it again soon.

Has anyone out there seen this movie yet &, whut did U think of it without giving out 2 much details for those who have not seen it???
Looks good 2 me;)

I made 2 mistakes last year - I got "hooked" on the TV shows Lost & the 4400. Both that I started watching 1/2 way through the season, so ended up catching up during the reruns.

So I figured I would check out some of the new show and if they are good - I will make it a habit to watch them all.

Just got done watching the first show:

Supernatural - on WB - Don't think I've really ever watched anything on WB, but this one actually looks good - and the first episose was very good in my opinion. (Repeat on Thursday) - Anyway, I give this show a thumbs up.

Most shows don't start until next week. Wednesdays looks the busiest - Lost & invastion, along with Head Cases - and can't forget Ghost Hunters on SciFi, and when Mythbusters start new shows - Ugh. I can currently DVR 2 shows at a time - will be fun when 3 are on that I want to watch.

BIG BAD WOLF: When is Mythbusters slated to start new shows? I'M soo tired of the reruns on Discovery. Love that show!

Rose: I looked at their website, and it did not say, so I'm not sure at this time.

Ugh - found another show on Wednesday nights that I want to watch.... ugh - I DON'T HAVE ENOUGH TV's! (Made in the USA - on the USA channel)

so many films not enough time..I hav ebeen seeing films & smoozing at the international film festival in toronto...I saw the other night a GREAT movie..watch for it:
"mrs. henderson presents"

I'm wondering if anyone watches "Survivor" reality tv show? It starts tonight. I love to watch Cold Case which is on Sunday Nights

MagicDragon: Yup all geared up to catch survivor tonite in about an hour! Should be good!

I'm a Survivor nut! I usually guess on who wins. I still have to pick someone who hasn't been picked yet for a family bet

MagicDragon: Do you watch the Amazing race too? It premieres next week I think

I have a really life

nobleheart: a really life? or did you mean reality?

but ok ok each to his own,if you like it,its free choice.some people might think what I like sucks...lol

Rose: Sometimes I do.....I gave up watching Big Brother tho..Some reality shows are better than TV shows that are not reality based ( no offense taken)

nobleheart: Right and the boards purpose here is to discuss shows, movies etc.. not to dis what other people like to watch. We are trying to keep it a pleasant board not a negative one.

Not even going to start any type of fighting or saying bad about things in TV land. Does anyone think the new show "Ghost Whisperer" going to be any good?

a real life...but I was mixilating bt verbs & called it a really life.
hey I'm not the only one that mixilates my words.I notice ScarletRose does it too

MagicDragon: Not sure about Whisperer, just read the show info on cbs.com a few mins ago. Lotta new shows to check out, most wont make it as usual I assume. There is a new one on nbc that might be worth a laugh "my name is earl" If you are a Dogma fan or Kevin Smith fan you'll recognize Jason Lee

I dont want to offend anyone,but reality shows all seem the same..whinning about who we like..dont like...who we vote in/out it all looks like an adolescent popularity contest.no acting no plot..I tried to develop an interest..but couldnt find anything interesting.
we we all have different tastes.viva la difference.

nobleheart: Not offended..I like the OutWit, OutLast, OutPlay kind of thing

example:
I like a lot of british mysteries.
and I like british comedies.I think the brits have a sharper wit for humour than the dumb slapstick watched in north america.
but most people north america arent crazy I finf about these.

I had been watching 2 shows which came on during the day "Ambush Makeover" & "Design Invasion" but they took them completely off the air here in the Detroit area..Already watching enough reruns of "Cops" as it is

nobleheart: I love British comedies. "Are You Being Served" & "Keeping Up Appearances" I live where I can watch Coronation Street from CBC

MagicDragon: You get CBC? far out lol I thought only us Canadians were subject to that! lol

I'm lucky! I live in the right area that receives the strong signal from Windsor. Most of Detroit doesn't it the signal

MagicDragon: I forgot how close you are to the Ca/US border! Next time I am in Windsor I will wave at you!

2 shows that I really love is "Canadian Air Farce" & "This Hour Only Has 22 Minutes"

MagicDragon: This hour got really popular when collin mochery (sp)starred in it. Pretty funny humour tho.

I like these british sitcoms:
chef!
coupling
As Time Goes By
Father Ted
Fawlty Towers
My Family
The Vicar of Dibley
Girls On Top
distant shores
Mad About Alice
Kiss Me Kate
One Foot in The Grave
