Hehehe... yeah... there are lots that once I start watching, I don't
stop, but even on not so great flics, if I want to get up, and I am
the only one watching, I pause it.
Kill Bill 1 & 2 are certainly on that list. I have watched them only
3 time each though as my last year has been pretty hectic. Road
Warrior was better than the remaining of that "series" Mel did. Though
not spectacular, I liked the "lethal Weapon" set too, but that's
because I like Mel, and can almost shoot as good as he does.

Farscape and Lexx rules! A total departure from standard space
realm sci fi fare. The original ST had it's place, as did the films,
I have ST like 3 times over, and the films in LD and DVD as well.

I saw Dune at the theater, and wasn't very impressed. It Must have
been Stink that did it... errr... Sting... yeah... that's the name.
He was so full of himself, and isn't/wasn't that great of an actor.
I've only watched it twice, but yeah, great story.
I get so mad when the film industry casts these rock stars and rap
stars in flics, especially when they lack talent.
If they want to hire a zero experience dude with good looks...
I'm right here! :-] I just saw Snoop and Ice-T doing rap on VH1 last
night for Tookie. They said crap like "You know why the gangs will
always be here?!" Yet they wanted Tookie saved because they claimed
he reduced gang acceptance in kids. Yeah... that some fucked up
message they put forth last night. I don't care what anyone says. It
should have been classified as illegal somehow. Personally, I think
the death penalty IS a deterrent, but only if carried out, and that
soon after the conviction. Put a little fear in the minds of those
retarded criminal twits that think harming others is an OK thing to
do.
They did put Tommy Chong in prison for simply selling pipes over the
internet. That was one sad event in the history of our government to
make an example out of him.
And The Matrix - at least 20 times.
Me too... around ten times.

>BTW, some more watch over and over comedies: Blazing Saddles, History
>of the World. Ren & Stimpie get honorable mention.
Don't forget "The Gods Must Be Crazy" P 1 & 2
Ice Pirates
Spaceballs
Did Capra do any comedies? Oh YEAH!
Arsenic and Old Lace
"I'm not a Brewster, I'm a teapot!" "Charge!"
We get to see that once a year anyway. I hope they don't cut it for
TV. I have it as well, though... I think twice. I have Meet John Doe
twice, but that isn't a comedy.
Heheheh
