Birdemic

Check out the badass Christmas present Jess and Aaron gave me! We are watching this fabulously awful movie now and have been defending ourselves with the hangers and guns. The toilet paper? You need to watch the movie to know about that.

Go to Netflix. Watch Birdemic. Try to do it with snarky people if you can manage it.

Harry Potter!

It’s possible that by now, you may be aware that I’m a fan of Harry Potter. If not, let me tell you now:

I am a fan of Harry Potter.

My ass is currently planted in a seat at Studio 30 and I’m about to start a marathon.

Today I’m watching Sorceror’s Stone and Chamber of Secrets.

Tomorrow is Prisoner of Azkaban and Goblet of Fire.

Wednesday is Order of the Phoenix and Half Blood Prince.

Thursday is parts 1 and 2 of Deathly Hallows.

Friday is for sadness that Harry Potter is over.

Netflix Queue Game

Indecision is a time-honored tradition in my family. Rarely is a decision made without debate and a healthy back and forth of “you decide” and “no, YOU decide.”

I have an account with Netflix and stream a lot of videos using the Netflix Instant Watch feature. I add a lot of videos to my queue and at present, have 157 videos queued up.

157 choices and industrial strength indecision leads to flailing about and spending an inordinate amount of time just trying to figure out what to watch.

As a result, I started playing the Netflix Queue Game. It’s fairly simple to play. I post a message on Twitter asking people to give me a number, provide them with a range (1-157, for example) and give a cut-off time.

When people respond with a number, I respond and tell them which movie they have suggested for me.

Once the cut-off time has been met, I choose one of the movies suggested. After all, it’s much easier to select from a pool of 6 or 10 movies than 157!

Double Feature

I own two movies about losers who work in a music store and have emotional crises and have kickass soundtracks.

Tonight, I watched them both.

Started out with Empire Records (Remix! Special Fan Edition) in all its quotable awesomeness.

Moved on to High Fidelity because it just seemed like the logical follow-up.

I highly recommend both movies and watching them together. You will want to fill your MP3 player by the time you are done.
