ECW on SciFi, Hellraiser, Blue Car and a video store worker

[servermonkey]

Am I the only one that this seems weird to?

My curiosity meant that I HAD to tune to it last night at 10:00 p.m. I managed to watch for about ten minutes or so. I'll not get those minutes back. Hellraiser: Hellworld was on afterward...had to set TiVo to record that, since I couldn't stay awake for it. I'm sure I'll regret not being able to get those minutes back.

IFC ran a heartbreaking movie the other day: Blue Car. I've been telling all of my office about it, and so I tell you out there on LJ as well. It hit the right chords with me, but it will most likely not do the same with everyone else.

Redeemed a free movie rental at Movie Gallery yesterday as well, grabbing The Family Stone (what can I say? I'm a sucker for Rachel McAdams) and A History of Violence. I happened to have Jonothan with me for the trip to Movie Gallery and the library as well, so I don't know if that's why the clerk started to say, "Well, A History of Violence has some scenes that kids probably..." which is where I cut her off saying, "I know, it's a David Cronenberg movie and he's made some doozies..." at which point I described a bit about Shivers, Videodrome, and Crash to her (making sure that I mentioned that he did not direct the most recent movie named Crash but another one).

I only wish I'd had a camera to record the look on her face as I trumped her movie knowledge--though she did say she saw the preview for Cronenberg's Crash somewhere.

I'm such a schmuck, I know.

Rachel McAdams is the hotness. I kinda want to see "Red Eye" because it has her and the delicious Cillian Murphy...mmmmm.

I worked at Blockbuster when I was 19 and was such a dork about it - always looking down my nose at peoples' intellectually devoid movie choices. There aren't many nerdy video store clerks anymore, so I don't imagine it was hard for you to trump her knowledge - and hooray for your knowledge of Cronenberg ;) Crash was a wild one indeed - did you see the unrated version where James Spader has sex with Holly Hunter's leg wound? Wicked stuff. The book's pretty nuts, too, and the author and I share a last name.

ECW on Sci-Fi IS wierd but I don't care as long as it is on somewhere.

The Family Stone could have been soo much better, I was disappointed and I am a fan of her also.

are you implying that ECW was on SCI-FI. No way.

Way to beat down the poor clerk at hollywood video the ghetto but cheaper and better knock off of blockbuster. I understand why she thought you were going to watch that move w/ your little ones becasue all of Poke Kounty does that but still to openly state that to people they should know the R rating means something. A History does look to b e quite good. I love my hollywood video and after getting screwed by blockbuster I am never going back.
