It is just taking a while for me to get it all squared away along with a whole new design.

All movie buffs have tons of movies that we've never gotten around to seeing but really should. I've been meaning to see Seven Samurai for a very long time, but just haven't been able to make myself do it (I got the DVD as a gift last Christmas). Maybe this could be some sort of Rope of Silicon movie club that people can join in on and discuss the movies. I'll start. I'm not a huge fan of Spike Lee, but I very much enjoy 25th Hour. Edward Norton was the main draw for me, and I maintain that he should have gotten an Oscar for this. In my mind, this is the best post-9/11 that addresses the topic directly, and the script does a great job of dealing with the way that 9/11 affected New Yorkers without feeling like a melodramatic made for TV movie. An excellent film all-around. And, I'll admit that I hadn't seen it until a few months ago. This seems like it could be a great feature (maybe weekly).
