I was hoping for that as well

Looks like Expendables 2 is getting an R rating. I was worried after hearing rumblings that they were toning it down for pg-13 rating. I don't the pg-13 rating at all, but some movies are better as solid R movies. Just look at AVP as an example, that move could have been much better if they hadn't watered it down.

I was sick in bed last night so the wife and I watched Safe House with Ryan Reynolds and Denzel Washington; both actors did a great job, and the action was kinetic. I liked it quite a bit.

We also watched the Intruders with Clive Owen, which was one of those movies you want to discuss afterwards. It was also one of those scary movies that doesn't completely unravel at the end like so many others.

Watched "Man on a Ledge" yesterday afternoon while still recovering from being ill. It was way better than I was anticipating. I had never heard much about and didn't have any expectiations, but it was a pretty solid film. Edward Burns has a role in it, and I've always been an Edward Burns fan ever since Saving Private Ryan.

Netflix Instant is now streaming Jim Gaffigan's "Mr. Universe" stand up special. Not technically a movie, but he does a good 70 minutes of stand up. I think Gaffigan is great (we've seen him twice live and met him after the first show), and there's a whole bit about McDonald's that is killer and he couldn't do on Comedy Central, as they were afraid McD's would pull commercial buys from them if they showed it.

Saw Batman today and loved it. Great movie.

Watched "Silent House" last night. Another solid horror flick. This one was unique in that it was filmed as one shot, there were no cuts with the camera.

Gaffigan is great, I have 2 of his CDs. If you want to listen to a really funny cd then get Dave Attell's skanks for the memories

Very jealous of you, Jon. That is cool that you got to get a picture with him. I have a long history f watching Stand Up comedians. Started with my and I watching them together. I probably had no business watching George Carlin, Richard Pryor, Rodney Dangerfield Specials, Eddie Murphy, and Robin Williams at the age that I did, but I loved it, and my dad got a kick out of watching me double over with laughter.

I have been fortunate to see many big name comedians in my life, with the exception of George Carlin...sadly I won't ever be able to now.

The best for me was when I got to take my dad to go see Robin Willams on his tour that he did a while back. Laughed our asses off.

A recent comedian I got to see and get to meet after the show was Daniel Tosh. Absolutely hilarious to see live. We had front row seats (have no idea how that happened) and after the show he met fans and took pictures with them. Great guy.

The farce is strong in the “uproarious salute to science fiction” (The Hollywood Reporter) when SPACEBALLS: 25TH ANNIVERSARY EDITION blasts off on Blu-ray August 7 from Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer Studios Inc. and Twentieth Century Fox Home Entertainment. Comedy legend Mel Brooks leads an all-star cast of cutups including John Candy (Splash), Rick Moranis (Ghostbusters) and Bill Pullman (Ruthless People).

When the evil Dark Helmet (Moranis) attempts to steal all the air from planet Druidia, a determined Druish Princess (Daphne Zuniga), a clueless rogue (Pullman) and a half-man/half-dog creature who's his own best friend (Candy) set out to stop him. But with the forces of darkness closing in on them at ludicrous speed, they'll need the help of a wise imp named Yogurt (Brooks) and the mystical power of "The Schwartz" to bring peace and merchandising rights to the entire galaxy!

Twentieth Century Fox Home Entertainment combed the desert to bring fans an all-new featurette for the SPACEBALLS: 25TH ANNIVESARY EDITION Blu-ray entitled “Farce Yourself! Spaceballs and the Skroobing of Sci-Fi.” Mel Brooks takes fans on a guided tour into the making of the SPACEBALLS saga, exploring the film’s inspiration, its production, visual effects (including the sizzling creation of “Pizza the Hut”), how the film directly tears down the adventurous (Star Wars), the scary serious (Alien) and even the apocalyptic (Planet of the Apes) in his own uninhibited way and its epic status as Mel Brooks’ most successful and beloved fan favorite film. Additional bonus features include commentaries, behind-the-scenes featurettes, still galleries, trailers, film bloopers and more.
