Surely, you already have Netflix. I won't waste too much time telling you what is, but we recently joined. I already love it! I love movies, I don't really care for regular TV, there are very few "must see TV" shows for me. I hate watching movies on TV. I don't need violent scenes cleaned up. A booby here there isn't going to kill (offend) me, quite to contrary, I rather enjoy a booby on my TV once in awhile (stay with me). "Naughty" words don't hurt my ears. Like everyone else on earth, I don't care much for most commercials.

We have some fancy digital cable. I've only watched 3 movies from Netflix, but I'm ready to get rid of the expensive cable. Until significant improvements, we won't be watching pay-per-view movies. Netflix has 65,000 movies for my Queue.

Oh, the Queue. I've shared mine with you. I'm not bragging about it, I just love my queue. Ironically, I haven't watched any great movies from Netflix. Almost every movie we've gotten from Netflix so far has been average or worse: Capote, Lake House, The Break-Up and Crash. Crash was the best of the bunch. I tried to write about it in my blog, but got a little jumbled up. I'll try later.

Music

I know this sounds odd, but I've been listening to Justin Timberlake lately. I'm surprised myself, but it's amazing to see a boy-band guy make good. Usually those guys flame into obscurity, but Mr. Timberlake's new offering is smart and sexy. Dude can dance, and he manages to make that falsetto work.

Ramblin' Jenn posted some blasphamy about in Christina Aguilera. Just my opinion, but Ms. Aguilera's got the best pipes in popular music today. Also just my opinion, she is easily the most beautiful female celebrity in the world. Love her music, love her pictures in GQ!

Confederacy of Dunces again!

Some of you may recall my review of the Pulizter Prize winning book a few months ago. I did not recommend it. I would rather read the Other Side of Mountain about Afghan Guerrilla tactics than read C of D. I seriously didn't every imagine I would think about C of D again. Then I read about making into a movie on Slate.com (click link to read article). First, why someone would make a movie about this bizarre story is beyond me. Granted, I totaly didn't get the book, but I don't think many American's would. I'm also pretty sure it won't translate well to film. One the other hand, the book is unique, and I did manage to finish it. Maybe you'll all get to se the movie at the theater coming soon.
