If any of you haven't already, rent/buy/steal "An Evening with Kevin Smith." There's a bit where he talks about meeting with Jon Peters to discuss the Superman movie that is pee-your-pants-and-spit-through-your-nose hysterical, and adds some extra comic weight to his mention of "the fake Tim Burton Planet of the Apes" in the J&SBSB commentary.

The theater-going experience is a dreadful one , with cellphones, screen talkers, crying babies, and other dimwits and whathaveyou.


The ability to avoid this is one of the few things I actually like about working during the evening. Once summer's over and the kids are back in school, the weekday lunchtime-matinee crowd is terrific. There aren't many people in the theater at all, and most are either alone or in pairs. Everybody's cool and quiet and basically acts like they have some damn sense. I've never once had to shush, stare down, or eviscerate anybody during an early matinee. Friday midnight shows, on the other hand...

As for cheapskatedness leading to piracy, that's my brother-in-law to the letter. He's amassed quite a sizeable collection of homemade discs by copying stuff he picks up through his Blockbuster Movie Pass membership, and he's surprised I haven't done the same. Heck, renting stuff made my wife to decide to collect all the Gilmore Girls season sets. I'm just glad she did it when you could pick up S1 and S2 for $18.88 each.

Ell, I'm guessing (and hoping) that cato is talking about the LOTR trilogy slipcase, which you could get from New Line for about $3 or was included if you bought all three EE sets as a package. It holds seven Amaray cases with a little wiggle room, and it could be cut apart and trimmed to fit an even half-dozen. The individual slipcases for each movie are wide enough for two Amarays, but aren't tall enough, so I doubt he's modified them. Anyway, I want to see pictures of this alleged handiwork.

Alrighty then, I can wait (some more). It's as if I were meant to see it this way. I was sick the weekend it opened in theaters and never caught it there, and almost bought both versions of the DVD but left the store with something else. I even had possession of my sister's copy for about six months but never got around to watching it, so I'll probably just borrow it again after checking out your cut.

Yep, that's a good willy-inducing scene. When we saw it, there was another group of friends (all probably in their 20s) a few rows behind us. After she came down the stairs, one fellow got up and said "screw you guys, I'm going home," and proceeded to walk out of the theater.

As for the monkey, my folks had a policy that any plush toy that got vomited on was immediately thrown out. I wouldn't be surprised if I kept it close one time when I got sick so I could puke on it and be rid of it.

I never had much of a problem with scary movies as a kid. Then again, my mom did take me to see "The Amityville Horror" in 1979, and I have a vague memory of what might have been a re-release of "Texas Chainsaw Massacre" a year or so earlier. I'm 33 now, you do the math.

But the thing that truly creeped me out and made me believe that there was a malicious force of evil and destruction in my bedroom was one of these:



I swore its eyes followed me around the room (especially at night), and it always managed to work its way to the front of the shelf even after I put other toys and stuffed critters in front of it. I hated that damn monkey. It's part of the reason I didn't watch any of the Planet of the Apes movies until I was around 12 or so. I don't know what ever happened to it, but if it showed up today I would hack it to pieces, burn the remnants, stick the ashes in a bag, tie the bag to a concrete block and drop it in the lake.
