Wow.

One of the most memorable viewing sessions of my life was watching Sidewalks of New York on the DVD player in my roommate/best bro's room after we had finished working out.

You put a pizza and a bottle of wine in that story and it's the best one I've heard all year!

Rope is brilliant you fool. You get a double whammy of suspense through the tense one shot camera work and the creepy plot, you get a grim lesson in the theoretical versus the practical when it comes to morality and relativism and James Stewart delivers what I would consider the best monologue of his career.

Meh.
