      - it took me a while to figure out if it was atrociously bad or meant to be funny. once i decided it was an absurd comedy on a certain level, it was - Andie Jan 28, 11:09 2

  - fun movie -- nm - Beaker Jan 28, 11:02
  - This is why I never saw it - but now I'm thinking I should -- nm - Beryllium Jan 28, 11:01 2

    - I love that damn movie. - groiny Jan 28, 11:01

    - [deleted]
- Loving the "weird injuries" list at the bottom. Lots of them are from over-vigorous celebration. -- nm - Beryllium Jan 28, 11:00
- from the Jeff Kent playbook - do we really think he was shoveling? Not saying it's not possible, but he didn't go to doctor for a few days after - Diva Jan 28, 10:58
- Faker. -- nm - Strongbad Jan 28, 10:53 3
  - Pavano or his spleen? (nm) - musubi Jan 28, 10:55 2
    - Both. -- nm - Strongbad Jan 28, 10:56 1
      - I dunno. Pavano shaved his moustache, that makes him trustworthy, right? - musubi Jan 28, 11:01
- meanwhile Little Tommy McGregor from down the street had use of his dad's snowblower and would have taken care of this for Mr. Pavano for 20 bucks. -- nm - Diva Jan 28, 10:53

- Lawrence of Arabia -- nm - Jovian Jan 28, 10:57
- Seven Samurai, for some reason it's hard to find around here - Guigue Jan 28, 10:54 6
  - Boite Noire doesn't have it? -- nm - Roger More Jan 28, 11:01 4
    - Probably (Definitely). I always go to the Videotron Répertoire where I have an unlimited rental membership - Guigue Jan 28, 11:04 3
      - If it's the one on Mont-Royal, they have a weird collection. Like lots of Jean Renoir, but I've never found La Regle du Jeu there - Roger More Jan 28, 11:06 2
        
        They have something Boite Noire doesn't have though - Guigue Jan 28, 11:11 1
        
        Oh, agreed on the IM. I was surprised how good their collection is. I was just commenting on how odd it is that they'll have these obscure titles by - Roger More Jan 28, 11:15
  - In the same vein, I need to give more attention to the good Japanese Animes -- nm - Guigue Jan 28, 10:57
- Literally thousands. -- nm - spamlet Jan 28, 10:54 1
  - that's the thing. It's either tens of thousands or none. There is no middle ground. -- nm - CQ Jan 28, 10:55
- The Deer Hunter, Hard Boiled, Schindler's List, Dead Man and Donnie Darko. Probably more than those. -- nm - Krusty Jan 28, 10:53 2
  - I don't think I've seen Dead Man (what's that?) but I've seen the rest. Deer Hunter is ... yikes. -- nm - Beryllium Jan 28, 10:55 1
    - Dead Man is a Jim Jarmusch film w/Johnny Depp. I like his films and this one I just haven't gotten to yet. -- nm - Krusty Jan 28, 10:57
- [deleted]
- most classic pre-1940 stuff... - Mel Profit Jan 28, 10:47 4
  - Just to be picky, those are both post-1940. I think the forties are generally better than the 1930s for what we think of as classic film. - mara Jan 28, 10:51 2
    - and the year 1939 of course which kicked all kinds of ass. -- nm - Diva Jan 28, 10:54
    - crud. -- nm - Mel Profit Jan 28, 10:52
  - I haven't seen citizen kane. I have seen Bogey's maltese falcon, though. -- nm - Beryllium Jan 28, 10:47
- I've written off everything before 1980, and everything in the past year keeps getting higher priority than anything before that. - Max Jan 28, 10:45 1
  - Agree, I turn on TMC every once in a while and catch movies I wanted to see - amoxy Jan 28, 10:49
- Godfather, Casablanca -- nm - Strongbad Jan 28, 10:45 3
  - I saw Godfather before I could appreciate it. I need to re-watch that. -- nm - MDH Jan 28, 10:53
  - Godfather is probably my single most egregious omission. -- nm - znufrii Jan 28, 10:52
  - I have seen both of these. Worth watching. -- nm - Beryllium Jan 28, 10:46
- Too many to name, and the list is only getting longer now that I have kids. - musubi Jan 28, 10:44
- I can think of none. -- nm - CQ Jan 28, 10:43

    - I've only seen 26. Womp. -- nm - MDH Jan 28, 10:57
I just realized that our CEO turned 70 this weekend. If you were a CEO of a small company, at what age do you think you'd retire? -- nm - Max Jan 28, 10:41 10

- When I knew my successor couldn't screw up my untarnished legacy! -- nm - Mop (190 lbs) Jan 28, 10:44
- when I can sell the company for a few million -- nm - znufrii Jan 28, 10:44
- Does the company need my presence to survive/thrive? As soon as the answer to that is "no", I retire. (nm) - musubi Jan 28, 10:43
