I knew this kid in grade school named Kumar Appedwaylia. He was from India and barely spoke a word of English. We were in like the 4th or 5 grade.

At first everyone made fun of him - he was also extremely short. But as time went on, the whole class kind of took him under it's wing. By 8th grade he was no longer known as Kumar. It was KUUMAAAAAARRR! (like Nomaaaah). Pretty funny.

It's probably the only reason I've thought about renting that movie.

Dude, he's in the movie. Kumar refers to that guy!

Being John Malkovitch gets an A+ from me. What a crazy, crazy movie.

I'm trying to remember... Is that the movie when people go like inside a tunnel and can see out of John Malkovitch's eyes and see what he does?

So lets keep this thing going, shall we?

I just saw Fahrenheit 9/11 and it wasnt as good as I thought it was going to be. It was also a lot gorier too. It still had a decent message (in my opinion).

I saw Mr. 3000 yesterday, and I was very disappointed. I thought it was horrible. All of the swearing in it made it that much worse. I thought it was PG too, then I looked and it was PG-13. I wouldnt go out of my way to see this movie, as it has little baseball in it, and has a love story back plot, like almost every movie these days.

Yeah, in the end he couldn't keep his arguement together. It's much the same problem Bowling for Columbine had.

I just saw The Grudge. What a terrible piece of shit this movie was. Total waste of time and money.

I won't let this die! Anyway, two great hitchcock movies that I just saw are Rear Window and The Man Who Knew Too Much. Both are great, but Rear Window was a bit better. Even though they were made in 59 and 55, respectively (I think), the suspense and cinematography still hold up. Jimmy Stewart is the man.

I also saw "Stolen Kisses," a French film by Francois Truffaut from the 60's. It was alright, but not as good as the Hitchcock's. These are being seen in conjunction with reading Truffaut's book of interviews with Hitchcock, so it's pretty interesting to see.

Best Hitch film? Vertigo, Suspicion, North by NW, Rear Window, The Birds, Psycho, Notorious in my opinion (no order). Definitely check out all his movies.

I just saw Harold and Kumar based simply on everyone's opinion here. I was pleasently surprised at how funny it was. Cheesy special effects, decent acting, funny situations. What more can you ax for??? I enjoyed it.

I should also mention I rented episodes 1-6 of Curb Your Enthusiasm... I can't say enough about it. So very very funny. I don't have HBO, but now wish I did. Think Seinfeld, but slower and more realistic. That's it. Anyone who likes Seinfeld will LOVE this show.

As funny as that show is, I'm set with Arrested Development.
