We recently had a movie night with 2 other people. (Conan The Barbarian 2011 with Parthena and Eli; we all gave it 3/5 stars, 6/10, which is low but acceptable.) Four people is really crowded on the orange couch (from my grandparents), so we decided to switch the the leather couches (from my ex-co-worker), so there'd be room for 4 people.
Turns out we've left things this way. Leather works as a really good mousepad, so I don't have to use a mousepad except for QuakeLive. The high back makes me feel more isolated from the world behind me, but it's probably slightly harder to hear the rear speakers. It works well for parties like this, though.
But anyway... Anybody who's come over here a lot would be a bit surprised to see this.
And yea, we're just about to watch Todd Solondz's Welcome To The Dollhouse. We both rated it 4/5 stars on Netflix, and Clint rated it 8/10 on IMDB, as did Carolyn, who considered it a high 8 (8.4). It was a solid, typically awkward Todd Solondz film. This is from his early era of movies that I like (Fear Anxiety And Depression, Happiness) much much MUCH better than his later era of movies (Storytelling, Palindromes) (I rated Palindromes 5/10, putting it on the bottom 10th percentile for movies that I watch). It's rare for us to watch dramas -- of the last 72 movies we've watched, only 3 have been dramas. But we also like the "genre" of "fucked up", and this movie is quite fucked up. Quite fucked up indeed. A great reminder of how shitty people can be. Poor Dawn. "At 3 o'clock today, I'm gonna RAPE you!" "I don't mean to be a cunt." "'Why do you hate me?' 'Because you're ugly.'" The native rating for Welcome To The Dollhouse is: Netflix: 3.4/5 (which was also netflix's guess for us), IMDB: 7.4/10. So we liked it more than average, which is true for 95% of movies we watch.
