Friday fun! Here’s a screen capture from one of the DVDs in my collection (and it’s definitely from a movie, not a TV show). Guess the movie for fun and, well, fun. No prizes, just bragging rights. But hey: one guess per comment — no fair hogging all the guesses.
Take a break from work: watch a trailer… This garnered huge applause at the midnight screening of Up I attended last night.

Take a break from work: watch a trailer… Is it cuz I’m not a guy that I don’t get that whole first bit here, with the dude who complains that he’s not invited to the bachelor party and then is in his underwear? How does the one thing connect to the other? Or does it … more…
