Movies on a Plane: Ryan Watches “Look Who’s Taken, Too!”

Posted on January 3, 2013 by Ryan

...At least I'm pretty sure that was the title. No, on closer inspection, it was Taken 2, starring Liam "Badass" Neeson: We just got back to Costa Rica early this morning. We took the only direct flight from Denver to San José, which is a Frontier flight that leaves at midnight and arrives at about 6:00 am. It's faster than a layover, but I'm pretty wiped out now. Especially since I spent the first two hours of the flight watching a movie on Frontier's free Direct TV, when I should probably Read more [...]

Mickey Vader?

Dustin's last post made me think of the recent Disney purchase of Lucasfilm. I noticed they've talked about it on outlets such as Badass Digest and Stuck in the 80s, so I thought it also might be worth mentioning here, since we're mostly a movie blog, after all.

We watched this movie last weekend because it was on my "List of Books, Movies, and Music to Check Out." I really do have a list like that, but the trouble is that until just recently, I'd only write names of new recommendations, but never who recommended it to me or why they did so. So, I could have put a given item on the list because I heard about it in a grad school class 8 years ago, or I could have put it on there because Paul said there was a really funny scene in which a guy gets hit in the Read more [...]

Movie Map

Posted on December 8, 2012 by Ryan

I recently found this awesome movie map at this site: What do you think? Personally, I'm tempted to follow every line from start to finish, counting the number of movies I've seen and not, and substituting other movies where I thought necessary. But if I did that, I'd never get anything done... Read more [...]
