We're losers...and never get out. A good night for us is a box of wine, a meal prepared while one child sulks and the other runs around clutching a blanket while signing "raisins".

Whats good on that instant-through-the-Wii Netlix thing that I pay $8 per month for?

We just watched "I like killomg Flies" If you love NYC and Calvin Trillin and can handle bad language...I recommend it. Of not...you know what you an do to yourself...hard.

Suggestions?

MBW...I"m looking at you.

First off.. I love a box of wine. The BOTA box is my fav. My favorite saying is "a box of wine is a box of fun!". The fact that your kids are signing is awesome! I love it!! I taught my now six year old son Baby sign language from three months old. We still sign "i love you" and sign language actually has come in handy with my "older kids" while at a bar my daughter was telling me she liked a guy and I signed her "NO" "STOP" LOL! Brings back memories... Have you watched "The Town" I loved that movie. I am partial though my family is from Charlestown.

We watched "Due Date" today. It was much funnier than I expected it to be. :D

"a box of wine" - so you are the guy drinking wine from a box... :)

PS - finally got to watch "The White Ribbon" from a couple (few?) years ago. If you can stand subtitles and something different - I highly recommend it.

These are not comedies, but we really, really enjoyed:
"The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo"
"The Girl Who Played With Fire" both in swedish with english subtitles.
There are scenes in these movies that you probably don't want the babies around for....

And my favorite recent movie was "Winter Wood." Not a cheery film, but beautifully full of contradictions.

John and I watched the Oscar-nominated animated short films last night. The first four were really good...I fell asleep during the last one. We call the couch in front of our movie screen "tractor beam" because I always fall asleep on it.

We just watched: The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo. It was extremely good!!

We are new to Netflix, just in the last couple of weeks, so have a lot of catching up to do. :wink:

I don’t know many of the movies, which is told about here. But I too have seen and enjoyed the movies made over the books written of Stieg Larsson – all three of them. In the versions, I have seen, Lisbeth Salander was played of Noomi Rapace, and she played the role extremely good. But I have read that there should be made another version with other actors in. So perhaps it’s not the same movie all of us see.

Just now hubby is looking “The Pacific” in TV. I don’t like to see too much shooting and killing, so I disappear from the room, when this TV serial comes.

And just now I’m exited, if it will be a Danish instructor, who wins an Oscar tonight.

The Family Guy Christmas special called "Road to the North Pole" was wonderfully inapropriate!

Watched it last night instead of the Oscar's. Anne Hathaway's forced exuberance was scaring me.
