First watch the movie Glengarry Glenn Ross, then watch the movie The Boss Baby.

Hours of good entertainment.

In other news I’m watching The Godfather tonight. Heck of a movie.

 You sound like JC, KC and Noal. Cultural french-like attachments. (I did enjoy Steve Martin trying to say hamburger in The Pink Panther) Might need a new topic, 1204 movies Brad hasn't watched. Then there's the questions of the correlations as to why. (Not that I can talk, but I rarely let that stop me from doing so.)

 I did watch the Godfather, It kinda went the opposite direction of Star Wars. The horse head scene was so appallingly different than the dancing, squealing, victorious and happy little furry creatures. Having daughters, the ending of part three was fucked. Yes, heck of a movie.

 The other 2 movies I have not seen, but will look up.

Yes, we have spent so much time raising girl children. They on the other hand spent equivalent time getting steeped in modern American culture (for all the good and bad that that implies). All three of them come up with cultural references like this that just blow me away ("where in the hell did that come from?!").

I'd rather stick needles in my eyes.

See what I mean? I've never even heard of this movie. And yet J.C. seems to know exactly what it is. Enough to, apparently, not like it ;)

 I know! i may need to run down the hill and tape him to a chair until it passes.

 He does make me feel like quite the knuckle-dragger at times.

All he does is make you see pre-existing reality.

P.S. We all like your knuckles.

I've seen it and was there in spirit.
50% of the routes still remain to be "done" evidently - so...no cookies for you.

Nope, seven out of eight routes got led. Most more than once.

Plus a lead by Steve and Laura of all three pitches of Book of Leon.

...the things I could say. But I'm older now and more restrained in my comments.

Yeah, right. It's from a little kids movie (and does this mean that you watch Disney - or whatever it is - movies?).

Just before moving to California in 2000, we travelled around to visit a number of old friends.
An old friend of mine from Junior High School lived near Richmond, Indiana.
They knew of an old mansion that was available to rent - so we all stayed there for one night.
That title was on some old sheet music on a baby grand piano that I was playing.
I never forgot it...

You gotta be kidding?! Well the song must have been written in the mid/late '40s then.

Nope, that's NOT where the quote originated. Hint - what else am I fascinated by, other than climbing?

From the look of the artwork on the cover of the sheet music I assumed it had something to do with one of the World Wars but I am not interested in playing old songs (or wars) - so i didn't look at it beyond that. I just thought the title was funny and it evidently stuck with me.
I was playing David Crosby and Graham Nash songs that day...
