I agree, Seattle's Best is better, but we don't have but a couple of those down here in Portland.

You know, that was my first reaction when someone describe it to me...but then on a dare I gave one a shot...and addiction was born.

OK, well happy Eggnogging then, Bill & Lobeck!

To get on topic again...
Another big let down: Cliffhanger

Kylie, saying Paulie a milk fan is like saying that the Pope is a sort of Catholic.

Let's put it this way - I made sure to stock a quart of non-fat milk when Paulie came over for dinner last week. There wasn't enough left for a bowl of cereal after he left.

There are all kinds of Freudian issues that could be derived from that knowledge...

Modesty, I agree with you, Cliffhanger was disappointing, especially after the first scene.

Wayner. Wow!
So is Paulie, like, the Milk God?

Paulie · 11-05-2002, 02:57 PM

Guess so.

Pretty much all I drink is milk and water. Every once in a while, I'll have a glass of fruit juice at breakfast. And I'll sometimes drink a glass of white wine with dinner, but not very often.

So...now that we have catalogued my drinking habits

, what movies were a big letdown?

I'll third Cliffhanger. Didn't live up to the sheer shock value of the opening sequence.

The made-for-tv versions of The Shining and Carrie were major let downs. The originals were MUCH better.

Modesty · 11-05-2002, 03:19 PM

- Kylie, I can't think of a single movie where the remake was better than the original!

The biggest let down movie for me of all time is Caddyshack II.

The original Caddyshack was a ground breaking film, with remarkable actors collaborating on a work of art that wasn't simply the best movie of all time, but was also a commentary on the triumph of human spirit.

Okay, perhaps that was overstated a bit, but it is not exaggeration to say that Caddyshack II was best described as a train wreck.
