Hudsucker was ok as a screwball comedy, but it didn’t really grab me. Certainly not like Raising Arizona did.

I own a dvd copy of Fargo, so looking forward to yet another viewing of it!

Re: Random thoughts/images/shit that makes you feel old thread

I am envious of those old skiers. There was a time in my life when I skied 30+ times a year. Now, with eye and shoulder issues, my balance seems off. So I may never ski again. It’s not a big deal, given the cost, anyway, but it does make me wistful.
