What did you watch this weekend?

Miracle in the Rain - A movie from 1956 set in 1942. A homely woman meets a guy who's about to go off to war, it was dumb. They meet on the street, he grabs here groceries and invites himself to dinner with her and her mother...what a pushy dick. They fall in love in a few short days and then he's off to fight in the war.

All the President's Men - Good movie, I only had a brief idea of what the Watergate scandal was about beforehand

Dead Men Don't Wear Plaid - I remember seeing this when it first hit HBO back in the early 80's and not getting it. It's a really underrated Steve Martin movie set in the 1940's. The way they edited in all the vintage movie clips was pretty impressive, considering it was made in 1982.

Heathers - Not as good as I remembered, plus Winona Ryder is terrible in the role.

[Speng]

Sleeping Beauty - Not the Disney movie. Some Australian chick who's low on money starts working at a brothel. She drinks a sedative and guys fondle her while she's sleeping. Pretty dumb and very low budget, she's either naked in the movie or wearing the exact same clothes.

Sounds like the Courtney Love story.

Secretary - I find Maggie Gyllenhaal very homely, that took any eroticism out of the movie. Even if there was an attractive female lead, it was a dumb movie.

Watched two Steve McQueen movies:

The War Lover - Some good WWII bomber footage, plus the great line, "You don't make love, you're too twisted. You make hate". McQueen plays a dick who goes after his best friend/co-pilot's girlfriend.

Papillon - Excellent movie, MCQueen and Dustin Hoffman are stuck in a prison in French Guiana.

Interesting trivia you probably know: McQueen and Hoffman only interacted when the cameras were rolling, they didn't talk to each other otherwise.
