what to do during the week, in the evening

i usually try to watch jeopardy at 7. i've been reading practically every night (a variety of books). i have some dvds that i can watch over and over, so every so often i'll put on one. and currently i am receiving netflix so over the next couple of weeks this is what i have slated to receive and watch:
grindhouse: planet terror (robert rodriguez zombie movie)
grindhouse: death proof (quinten tarentino something something)
waitress (i've heard good things about it)
dexter: season 1 (4 discs) (i've seen a few episodes on sunday nights and like it)
the prestige
the borne ultimatum (i liked the first 2, so i figure this one will be good too)
the royal tenenbaums
lost in translation (i'm very attracted to scarlett johansen)
blade runner: directors cut (i've always been a fan of sci-fi, and like this movie)
willow
children of men

the third bourne instalment is awesome. willow, how can you go wrong. now fetch me some water peck! the tenenbaums is HI-larious. and lost in translation was weird, but pretty funny. i actually saw it while in france. and i haven't seen dexter yet, but my brother loves it.

hell, yes, willow.

not as good as the neverending story or labyrinth, but it'll do.

why isn't red dawn on that list?

oh, and you should read salinger's franny and zooey. i love it. AND, rumor has it the royal tenenbaums is based loosely on the glass family (from the book).

ok. the end. those are my suggestions. reading rainbow-OUT.

these are the next movies in line to be seen, not the only movies. but i don't know if i have red dawn in my saved list.

So, you have basically picked all excellent movies. I can't find fault in your selection - and I really honestly tried. Foiled.

mike-do you like american history-type-stuff?

i watched the first episode of john adams last night on HBO and it was awesome. but, then, i have an enormous crush on paul giamatti.

anyway. if you like that stuff--you need to check it out.
