Fashionistas you have arrived 3-25-03 - 10-3-03

Can anyone reccomend a nice, reasonably priced (less than $100, less than $150?) terry cloth bathrobe. I'm always close to buying the ones that nicer hotels have, but I figured I should ask here first.

Well, if you're looking for a bad movie, I hear The Core fits the bill. If you're actually looking for a good movie, here are the top 10 as ranked by metacritic.com:

1. Spirited Away
2. Le Cercle Rouge (re-release)
3. Apollo 13: The IMAX Experience
4. Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers
5. Talk to Her
6. Quai des Orfèvres (re-release)
7. Russian Ark
8. Far from Heaven
9. Ten
10. The Lion King

Note that the Ten movie is some film from Iran, not the Dudley Moore-Bo Derek vehicle. These are also mostly art films, which might not be your thing. If you're looking for a video, I'd pick Desperado or Femme Fatale.

I might be going to Coachella. I actually have 4 passes for both days, but I might unload them.

Sure, impugn my recommendation skills because of Brotherhood of the Wolf.

I would have suggested it here, but it's not nearly violent enough.

Even(and it's in French.)Odds

Any movie that features a shot of Monica Bellucci's breasts that fades into a shot of snow-capped peaks is above reproach.

Leagl's just jealous because the fair Monica is 5'10".

I rarely go to the movies any more. I would rather just rent a video, avoids the noise and the obnoxious person who sits in front of me who is like 6 feet tall.

Why do some tall people feel the need to sit in front of the shortest person they can find?

As a 6'4" guy who goes to the movies a fair amount, I'd like it noted that I will ALWAYS try to sit in front of an empty seat, both out of politeness and also because people behind me inevitably talk a lot, so I try to avoid sitting near anyone.

str8.

FYI: Don't see The Core. Good effects. Bad dialogue. No objectification.

w/r/t: "6. Quai des Orfèvres (re-release)", does that translate to "Why the Ovaries (re-release)?"

One of my favorite ill-usages is when ignoramuses use nonplussed to mean unfazed.

My brother says the Core is pretty fucking bad.

Daredevil and the hunted are OK, and basic is bad, but none of them sucks adequately for your purposes.

Wow. This whole strand is the most press I've ever gotten on the FB. And all at a time when I'm spending less than an hour connected to the internet per day. Ironic? Only if I really desired such attention, I guess, but PLF will let me know I'm sure...

PP, I respect your opinion re: sock puppet, but I must admit a soft spot for the wrist-watch sporting dog. All others, thanks for getting my back while I've been stuck in an ugly building, in a cubicle, sifting through docs.

Brotherhood of the Wolf kicks ass. It was like nightbreed a campy sort of sort of weird action movie that's surprisingly good. fah, fah on leagl.

I go to the theater all the time. I love the whole movie going experience. Probably at least twice a month, sometimes more.

Same here, even when I've billed way too much in a month, hell, especially when I do that.

In China, the article explained, taller people are considered more beautiful and powerful, and many jobs (including government jobs) have height requirements.

The first part is true everywhere. The second part is too, leastways if you replace "jobs" with "women".

Trenyce in the bottom two???

Josh completely safe???

I am annoyed.

Anyone else think the board is a little too Paigow-heavy these days??

Yeah, my bottom three would have been Josh, Carmen and Kim C.

Guess we can kiss goodbye the idea of a Ruben concert episode.

People in fly-over land might be tuning out for this discussion, but I think I will really like "The Man Without A Past" when I get around to seeing it. I've seen two or three other talkies by Aki Kaurisimaki (or however you spell it), and I think his stuff rocks. He's my tie-for-first favorite foreign director (with Patrice LeConte). Hang on, they're showing the Laettner shot again on the commercial. Ok. What was I saying? Oh yeah, go see Finnish films. Trust me.

See ya at the Coach, if'n you're there. If'n not, some other time.
