Looking back on an old classic

So crazy that he was only 7 years older than Cuba

Office Christmas Party. Classic film.

Nah, I think George finally standing up for himself meant Biff couldn't just walk all over him anymore. But to your point I'm not sure that's enough to make Biff end up washing George's car 30 years later. 

I’ve actually never seen Apollo 13. ITA on Jump Street, and I’ll prob watch it a few more times too. 

speaking of classics, my kids made me watch the Home Alone remake last night. I had virtually zero expectations, but it was actually kinda decent. Mommy Schmidt and Rob Delaney (I got this, Rob Delaney) play a couple of unwitting would-be thieves due to a mix up that I missed cause I was getting firewood but the whole plot finally made some sense to me when that pasty was explained later. A chubby British kid gets left at home in suburban Chicago, and physical comedy hijinks ensue. They had some fun with a few callbacks to the original too. All in all, it was an enjoyable experience. The kids loved it and I assume they’ll watch it 5-13 more times between now and New Years. 

I know my kids have eye-balled it and I expect we will watch it soon.  They went through a phase when they watched a couple of the direct to video sequels and even those were watchable.  Turns out a kid torturing adults is a universal language.

I caught almost all of Rounders on HBO last night (missed the first 15 mins or so).  Still a great flick, one of my favorites really.  But I've obviously seen it too many times because I found myself picking nits about shit I've never given much thought to before.  I feel like there were a few others that I caught myself questioning while watching, but the 2 completely pointless things that really stuck in my craw on this viewing were:

1. Basically the whole 'municipal workers' game.  First of all, Worm says they have "2 full tables" and then they show up and it's like 5 small round card tables with 4-5 players at each table.  There's no reason anyone should notice or care about this, but it bugged me.  But more than that retarded detail, just the very existence of this game is absurd.  There's 16-20 state cops in and around a town of 40K people in upstate NY, who all get their paychecks and immediately drive to a $1,000 buy-in card game, many of them still in uniform because apparently they all work the same shift?  What a ridiculous premise.
2. On what fucking planet is a 70 year old Jewish judge/law school professor not able to come up with more than $10K on a moment's notice?

Anyway, excellent film.  Will watch several more times this month.
