"The Hitchhiker's guide (?) to the Galaxy" is such a great, funny, special movie! I LOVE it! Thanks for all the fish - LOL!

Wow, Nina, you must be fed up with movies now.

Hahah It is a great movie, isn't it? I hadn't seen it before, but I'd read the book last year.

And thanks for the correction--I was so caught up in trying to remember the number of Hs in "Hitchhiker" that I completely skipped the next word!

The numbers of Hs! LOL! I see, I see...^^
Yeah, I love the movie because it has a really unusual but lovable sense of humor it and a great message, too.. wrapped inside craziness.

Wow that's alot of movies. I haven't been to this site for awhile, what with the Freaks and Geeks forum all but dead. I still enjoy re-watching an episode now and then.

Since you are watching so many movies lately, I have a film I watched last weekend to recommend. It was made in 2001, but it was an independent film that wasn't in wide distribution. I saw about half of it once on the Sundance Channel four or five years ago, and discovered it on VHS last week at my local library.

It is called Scotland, PA, and is a adaptation of Shakespeare's MacBeth, as a black comedy set in a burger joint in 1970's Pennsylvania.

I see you are an ER fan; Maura Tierney plays "Lady" Pat McBeth, a waitress who works at the restaurant with her husband, the cook. Now, it's been a long, long time since I read Shakespeare's original, but I remembered enough to enjoy the movie's humorous take on the characters from the play.

The Three Witches of fate from the play are hippies in the movie; one of them is played by a perfectly cast Andy Dick. Christopher Walken plays MacDuff, a vegetarian detective investigating the murder of the restaurant's owner. And, of course, anything I contribute to this website has to have a F+G reference. A co-worker of the McBeths', Banko, who becomes a victim himself when he becomes suspicious of the couple, is played by Kevin Corrigan, who played Millie's creepy cousin on F+G, the one who got the Freaks their quality fake ID's.

Who knows? Maybe you've already seen it and I am off on another ramble for no reason, but was a low-profile flick, and not on TV often, so you may have overlooked it like I did. So, if you decide to do some more procrastinating, check it out. You probably will enjoy it more if you have read or seen the play.

P.S---- Great 70's rock soundtrack in the movie as well. Several Bad Company songs, along with some Marshall Tucker Band and Three Dog Night. The type of tunes I imagine the Freaks may have been listening to from time to time in Daniel's Camaro or Kim's Gremlin.

^ Thank you for the recommendation! I have heard many good things about Scotland, PA, but I've yet to see it, and I definitely didn't know that it was at all tied to "the Scottish play" (working in theatre has made me superstitious...well, not really). I'll have to check it out. Incidentally, I just watched "Carded and Discarded" last week (having gotten my roommates addicted to Freaks and Geeks).
Nice getting a rambling comment from you again--it's been awhile!

Wow...lots of movies lol...buts its more productive than what i've been doing...sleeping and eating hahaha...ur list of movies made me wanna make a list of movies that i've been wanting to watch for a while...you've inspired me lol...maybe i will post this link in a new blog : )

LOL I'm glad to be an inspiration! I've watched a bunch of other movies since posting this. I recommend 'The Go-Getter' for all you Indie film types...I thought it was cute, though Zooey's character was vaguely weird/stalkerish in one scene; the other character didn't seem to mind it at all, so I suppose I shouldn't either (Mind you, I'm sure anyone would be jumping for joy to find that Zooey was his/her stalker)!

That, and there's a scene in which her character talks about a conversation with a squirrel...
