Hi. It's Monday. It looks like it's gonna be a craptastic day. And it's a well-known fact that the VERY best threads live in your Guys Only area. So, could you little monkeys start some racy Guys-Only threads in the Guys Forum to keep me amused today?

kthnxbye...

Couldn't watch Napoleon Dynamite. Just couldn't understand what was supposed to be funny.

In The Big Lebowski, John Goodman was the scene stealer.

@BigViffer OMG-John Goodman's character?! What a tool. I had the most immense frustration the whole time I watched him. I just wanted to smack him and tell him to shove off! *snort* (This close. I'm serious. This close to shouting at the tv to eff off. LOL.)

1. Since when is there a guys only section and how come I didn't know.

2. The Big Lebowski is a character study of The Dude. And The Dude abides. It's just funny.

3. Napolean Dynamite is almost the exact same thing. It's just funny because the characters are funny.

Guys room has been here since I've been here. Don't know when it started really.

Just looked, appears as though the first posts in the guys room was in 2007!

@Half-Tum Dear God. Now I'm going to have to watch it a 6th time, JUST to find something abiding in The Dude! (Yes, even though Mr. Fluffy knows I have a movie crush on Jeff Bridges--I still couldn't make it through the movie. It's literally my nephew's favorite movie. LOL)

@BigViffer See? Now you've got at least one new, very fun playmate. And there is also @cjsunshine of CJ and the Sunshine Band fame--who should also go play in the Guys' Room. And there are others (I just am drawing a blank on their nics right this instant)...to quote yet another dude film--this one totally awesome...If you build it, they will come.

bahahahahahaha! I swear, I'm the only person on the face of the earth that just doesn't get it!? Is it that The Dude just keeps rollin' with the punches no matter how craptastic his day is going? What am I missing? The last time I was this confused, Napoleon Dynamite was still in high school and Pedro was still running for class office! (I did eventually end up voting for Pedro btw.)

It's the dialog.
You have to pay close attention to the dialog, that's why it is a classic.
The scene where Walter pulls the gun on Smokey for stepping over the line is done so well. John Goodman actually looks insane.
And yes Walter is an a*****e and a terrible friend, but that's why it is so funny. Why would anyone be friends with such an a*****e?
The whole thing about Walter watching his ex wife's dog while she is in Hawaii with her boyfriend, hilarious.
"You brought a Pomeranian bowling?"
"What do you mean brought it bowling? I'm not buying it a f*cking beer, I'm not renting it f*cking shoes, he's not taking your f*cking turn Dude"

It's funny.
One of my all time favorite movies.
My username is John Goodmans character from that film.

@Walter.Sobchak Hilarious. I didn't put your name together with JG's character! Thanks for 'splainin' me.

Dang! I gotta ask though, where are the women on this thread?!!! We need 'em for movie discussion!

Well, I appreciate having things 'splained to me. Now I guess I have to watch the movie again... no promises, though.

One of the funniest movies I can think of is Meet the Parents. First time, wasn't so funny. But upon repeat viewing, danged if it didn't get funnier and funnier. My hubby remains unimpressed.

Check out The Life Aquatic, it's another favorite of mine it's a comedy.
As far as dramas go, I recommend No Country For Old Men and also Shutter Island.
Sci Fi, check out District 9

Watch the Vanishing...that will cure your Jeff Bridges crush.

@MowryRocks Ok will I be skeered or creeped out?

@FluffyChix He is a character study for sure. I don't want to give anything away...watch it and come back to me.

@MowryRocksOk, maybe this weekend. But if I end up having to sleep the the lights on after this and die from sleep deprivation. I want you to know, I will come back and haunt you. Fair warning!
