Dave has been loaning us DVDs from his rather extensive collection. Last night we watched The Day The Earth Stood Still. I was not expecting too much from this 1951 sci-fi picture, but I remember Paul Laffoley mentioning that this movie had a huge influence on him as a kid. Especially the spaceship whose shape holds some sort of golden mean beauty to those with mathematical eyes. So I figured what the heck. And it turned out to be a great film. It's dated, sure, except not so much as you'd think. Very interesting.
Also we've seen a lot of crap. Not from Dave of course, but from the little video store across the street. One exception to those misfires was Secretary. Fun movie.
Not sure why I'm not putting this on the movie page.
