To be fair I think there ARE comparisons to be made: in Season One of "True Blood" the vampire and the shape-shifter are fighting over the girl.  And the vampire wins.  And part of what makes Sookie and Bill work as a couple is that the mind-reader can't read the other person's mind.  Of course, there are many more differences than similarities.  And really all vampire stories can be compared.

By then we'll have seen a trailer or two, I'm sure.  Both People and Entertainment Weekly had big BD spreads this week.  I'm kinda getting geeked up for it already.  And it IS way too soon.

I like TeeJay's list, except I would substitute "Friday Night" for her final choice(s).  I might throw in "The Devil Made Me Do It" or "Wealth of Nations" for some good ethical issues to discuss.  It sounds like a really interesting project!  Please let us know which ones you picked and how it went.

Really?  It's my favorite quote of his.  Another one I like is one they used on "Studio 60":  Time flies like an arrow.  Fruit flies like a banana."  Groucho could always be counted on for a great quote!

And no whip!

How sad!  I just recently listened to the DVD commentary for "Letters to Juliet".  He was an interesting guy.  One of my aunts died of a brain tumor, and it can be a rough way to go.  It's great that he was able to continue working while fighting his illness.  My heart goes out to his loved ones.

Hey, great to virtually "see" you gain Rick!  Sorry to hear about all the family stuff your wife having to deal with.  Believe me, I can relate.  But I'm glad your son is enjoying Nashville.  I don't know anything about the university he's going to, but I love the city.  I'm hoping your life calms down soon and that you win tons of awards in absentia.

Well, now that I've had a week to think about it I can honestly say that I liked the second-to-last episode much better than the last. :fedup:  It sure was a great series, though.  I'm really gonna miss it!

Yeah, he's pretty smashing all right.  And he was hilarious as Ross's f-i-l on "Friends".  Did you ever see him in a movie where he was this Italian guy who had a fishing boat and he got involved with this British woman on vacation?  I can't find it on IMDb, but I saw it once and loved it.

EDIT:  Never mind!  "Shirley Valentine"!  How could I forget that one.  I loved it!  Even more than "American Dreamer".

Yeah, it was the case with Winslet last year.  But I adored "Reuben, Reuben" and have watched it many times.  And I had yet to be able to sit through "Tender Mercies" or that one where Duvall killed Farrah.  The "Godfather" saga was great and everything, but enough already!  I just looked it up:  Duvall's opponents that year were Tom Conti, Tom Courtenay, Albert Finney, and Michael Caine.  If anybody had a "body of work" award coming that year, it was Caine!   Duvall got it because he's from here.  Which stinks. :fedup:

Yeah, it would be great.  But I still remember Robert Duvall winning for "Tender Mercies" when the other 4 nominees were British.  And I don't know very many people who saw "Tender Mercies".  And no one who managed to sit through it twice.

That was adorable!  Thanks so much for finding that, Ashley, and especially for sharing it!!!
