I was impressed by Cowboy Bebop.  I thought it was very well done.  I thought the art was awesome.  The characters were cool.  

It's still very much not my thing.  I saw it once.  It was neat.   I'm not in a hurry to watch the rest.  

And EUOL, if you see this, I am not amused with you.  If you have to insist on watching Jackie Chan, why do you have to insist on watching it with ME there?  Have I not sat through enough martial arts movies yet?

Don't worry, MsFish, we'll think up something really horrible for him to watch. Something that he can't deem "literature" but that is so horrifyingly girly he will want to run screaming from the room.

And, who knows, maybe you'll like the Jackie Chan movie. I've heard that they're pretty funny.

I suggest something like Never Been Kissed or 50 First Dates.

I love Jackie Chan. Just don't watch Project A or whatever. Certain of his early subtitled stuff isn't so good. But I love his English-language stuff, and a certain number of his Chinese language stuff.

Actually, I think he wants to see 50 First Dates. That's definitely not the worst out there, because it is an Adam Sandler movie. Never Been Kissed might be more the ticket. Although I also know he is not a fan of Ever After. Oh, one that I just thought of is Now and Then. A movie I like, but that is sufficiently horrifyingly girly.

MsFish's revenge will be the opposite of swift and cunning--it will be long and frivolous. And I shall aide you in this endeavor, MsFish.

But it will have to be a movie that doesn't annoy us, too.

Adam Sandler is a tricky one. I personally don't like him all that much in most of his movies, and avoid him--though he's tremendously funny, his brand of humor also runs into the tremendously stupid or gross. I just saw 50 First Dates the other night and it was okay--about on par with The Wedding Singer, which I liked well enough but it was so non-80s in Drew Barrymore's hairstyle. No self-respecting girl in 1985 would be caught dead with hair parted in the middle. Of course, she was supposed to be kind of dorky, so maybe that was it.

EUOL, let me just say, my sympathies. My suggestion would be to stab and/or burn them all.  ;D

Sadly, I own Never Been Kissed, Ever After, and Now and Then, all on VHS from my terrifyingly girly stage in highschool.  I have an obscene number of chick flicks that I bought during that era.  

Only You might be a good one with which to torment.  Trouble is, I don't want to make Issac suffer just because EUOL must pay.

I'm not an Adam Sandler fan.  All his movies seem to be really crude.  So not a fan of that.

And I think we should kidnap Archon and subject him to our girl movie, too. Torture the infidel!
