As if I wasn’t already pathetic enough...

Brandon — Mon, 17 Mar 2008 11:13:50 -0500

I don’t know if you’ve been following how big a summer this will be for me and my movie-watching nerd-ness, so I’ll just mention that you can do a search for Indiana Jones on this site and come across countless blog posts about how the next installment comes out this summer and how I’m ridiculously excited for it.

Well, toss in another Batman sequel and a few other comic book movies, and my summer movie slate is already brimming with geek-tastic moments. To make matters worse, I have recently found out that the next “X-Files” movie will make its debut in July.

Surprise! I'm jumping ...

Mathias Baden — Wed, 13 Feb 2008 09:00:00 -0600

Surprises are not always good. Especially if you're Tom Hanks, who plays Joe Banks in "Joe Versus the Volcano."

So he's talking to Meg Ryan (who plays three characters who turn out to be love possibilities for Banks/Hanks) while they are making out. He tells her why his outlook on life has drastically changed.

Her answer:

"You tell me you're dying. You tell me you're jumping into a volcano. I don't know what to say."

Would anyone? Man, except for how depressing it is at times, I love that movie.

'Who's the bigger fool ...?'

Mathias Baden — Wed, 23 Jan 2008 00:18:26 -0600

Great line: "Who's the bigger fool -- the fool, or the fool who follows him?"

It's from "Star Wars" (aka "A New Hope" -- you know, Episode IV?), which I've been watching ever since I got back to the office after my city council meeting.

Obi Wan Kenobi is full of great wisdom for geeks.

What's your favorite movie line -- Obi Wan's or otherwise?

'Dan in Real Life:' not so real, not that bad

Last night I went and saw “Dan In Real Life.” It’s a total feel-good, warm your heart, chick-flick kind of movie, and it was my idea to see it.

'The Departed' ends with a bang ... or nine

I saw "The Departed" and stayed on the edge of my seat throughout the movie. Good stuff. But I'm confused about the end of the movie. It left me with more questions than answers.

Don't read the next part of this blog if you haven't seen the movie and will be mad at me for revealing some of how it ends.
