Mmm, Pita Inn.

So the Easy Bake Oven was a present from last year, or are you looking forward to treats starting tomorrow?

[ericcoleman]

You're a bad person, have I told you that? And I mean that in the best way possible.

I believe that Dominoes ruined pizza for the rest of my lifetime, and for many lifetimes thereafter.

I'm quite sure I don't know what you mean. I was merely acknowledging the fact that you have a daughter, and that young girls often have, you know, needs.

The one thing that Domino's taught me was that thin crusts can be chewy, not rock hard.

Thin crust pizza should not be so crisp that when you fold it in half it snaps. Pizza should fold down the middle of the slice and the tip of the pizza should flop down.

Don't even get me started on square cut pizza. :)

I like Minneapolis too.

It's about time that I watched The Stunt Man again, thanks for reminding me.

I'd rather watch Duck Soups sometimes, but it's a fine distinction as they're both the Marx Brothers on top form.

[ericcoleman]

Duck Soup is one of the two masterpieces along with Night At The Opera. They define the two styles of Marx Bros movies.

But I love the energy of Monkey Business.

The Stunt Man is one of those movies that never got the recognition it deserves. It took me years, but I finally realized that the key to it is the misic. You can tell which reality you are in by the music.

I like that. Usually it's other movie genres that do that. Now if only I could alter my own reality by adjusting the soundtrack..

[ericcoleman]

Have you ever seen the Stunt Man, because it is not the sort of film that it sounds like. It is a bizarre little puzzle of a movie with what is possibly Peter O'Toole's greatest, if not most excessive, performance.

Sorry, that doesn't ring a bell. In 1980 I was busy finding out about art films, I think, and the SCA and fandom.

The Stunt Man IS an art film ...

it is brilliant ... really ... you should try to find it ...
