    I'm not either, but Priscilla wasn't as obvious with the humor as Wong Foo was..


    And Beej... all the times Shawshank has been on TBS, you never watched? Jeebus...

    I was stunned by that, too. It's only on TBS or TNT about once a week.

    I try to avoid classics--or, in this case, movies I HEARD were classics--on regular TV. Too much good shit edited out. Hell we woudl have missed all of Hadley's classic lines.
     
  5. good to see you had the staying power to make it through the whole movie, byh.

    Freak.

    This is, by far, without a doubt, my favorite movie.

    I, too, was one of the few who didn't see it right away (probably six years ago).

    It is an all-time classic.

    That line really got me. So simple, yet so deep.

    My brother has become very political. We were talking about Shawshank and he had never seen it. I recommended it. He said he can't stand the politics of Robbins and Sarandon and won't watch their movies.
    Despite being a huge sports fan, he has never seen "Bull Durham."
    My brother is an idiot.

    I'm a lot like your brother, SoCal, but not for something stupid like politics.

    I just don't like some actors based on gut feelings. :)

    I've never seen a Billy Crystal movie, only two Michelle Pfeiffer movies, no Adam Sandler movies, etc.

    BYH, now that you've seen this flick, you'll have a new appreciation for the awesomeness of this:
