If TV only had the Turner Classic Movies channel, I would buy a TV.

Have you seen Interview With a Vampire? It has stronger plot and characterization than most vampire movies.

I did see that when it came out, but I watched it for girly reasons then. I should give it another look

I liked Interview With a Vampire.

You don't have a TV trysts?...or have you not purchased one?

yes trysts, "Road to Perdition" the movie, was based on a graphic novel written by Max Allan Collens of DC Comics. In fact, there are many films based on comics which one would be surprised about.

I haven't had a TV for years. Last one I had, I picked it up and threw it on the ground.

But, yes, I've been surprised. For instance, I didn't know that V for Vendetta or Sin City, were based upon comics when I saw them. 

ok trysts, please explain your "no TV" life...I really could not survive without the tube...how do you do it...and more importantly why? I can't imagine a movie lover without a TV...wow

I just couldn't take it any longer. Dumb, mind-numbing shows, transparent propaganda, and endless commercials. It was an easy decision.  

The internet also exists.

We don't have cable. We have a tv, but it has a computer hooked up to it instead of cable. At $10 a month, hulu is a lot less expensive than cable.

Englund Gambit Complex (Englund Gambit) chess trap http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8mN9chuyvuI

When we visited last month, they were playing this as part of an art exhibit at the Chess Hall of Fame. I can't find the full movie, so this is the trailer.

ah, I see where your avatar comes from!

La piel que habito/The skin I live in (2011) Spain

dir. Pedro Almodovar

Still digesting this one, but I recommend it.  The writing is good, but I think it missed a stronger finale if we had cared more about a certain character from the onset.  Arg.  But it's Almodovar.  His steady hand took something weird and made it plausible.

Go see it!  It's still a nugget in my gut, which can't be said of too many movies.

Thanks, Lisa!

No prob.  How the hell you been!!?

Wonderful, Lisa! How are you?

Trysts, this is one of the best threads I have read...totally entertaining as well as informative...

^^agreed.
