Baldwin just blew me away and Ed Harris plays the guilty conscience so well. We rocked the Colecovision with the Atari adapter! How you like my mean Smurfs game skills?

She wound up playing it more than we did over the course of the next year. Boy, has gaming changed since then... Congrats on making your mama happy!

Someone the other day asked me what my favorite movie of all time was... Without hesitation, I said, "Glengarry Glen Ross." And good on your brother for not coming up with any other line from that movie that wasn't profanity laced. I never knew Jack Lemmon had such a gutter mouth. And the dressing down that Al Pacino gave Kevin Spacey is a hall of fame moment in movies! Aside from having watched the movie several dozen times, I also have the audio ripped and on my iPod. As for my second favorite movie, I could never hope to name one. That's why it is all the more poignant that GGGR is #1 on my list. (If pressed, maybe I'd have to say, "Almost Famous.") “You never open your mouth until you know what the ’shot’ is.”

And it's the funniest thing watching them play that thing! Glad you had a Merry Christmas, Baba. Yeah, my 6 year old nephew got one for Christmas but his Dad brought like 3 months ago.
