Everyone else kind of turned into wallflowers when she was around. <br /><br />I need to watch Office Space again!

My husband really liked it too. I feel as if something is wrong with me--so many of you loved it and I was left feeling a little disappointed.<br /><br /><b>Nymeth</b> - I confess that I'm not much of a Woody Allen fan. I was curious about this one though because of all the Oscar buzz. Hopefully you will enjoy this one! I do want to see Match Point. <br /><br /><b>Stacy</b> - It would certainly be interesting to be a Ghostbuster, wouldn't it? And maybe a little dangerous. :-)<br /><br /><b>JLS</b> - Woody Allen is hit and miss with me, and unfortunately more miss than hit. <br /><br />Office Space is a fun movie. I hope you will like it if you do see it.<br /><br /><b>Carrie (B&M)</b> - We're in the same club then. I'm not a big fan of his movies either. Javier Bardem was nice to look at in this film. :-)<br /><br /><b>Kristie</b> - Office Space is a fun movie--and I know what you mean. Sometimes I still think I can relate. LOL<br /><br /><b>Nat</b> - Yes, I completely agree with you about Javier Bardem!Literary Felinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13079276242303738719noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31552114.post-68674173864571332992009-09-08T05:18:00.124-07:002009-09-08T05:18:00.124-07:00I really liked Vicky Christina Barcelona although ...I really liked Vicky Christina Barcelona although it wasn't my favorite Woody Allen fan. His older movies are really his best. My husband and I didn't think Penelope Cruz was the star of this movie, either, but we pretty much stand alone in thinking that! lol<br /><br />Office Space is a great movie. I watch it frequently when it re-run on TV! There are so many great little lines in it. And Ghostbusters is a classic! But I'm a big Bill Murray fan.<br /><br />Great post!<br />~ AmyAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09866342436745173619noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31552114.post-5388837009372288782009-09-07T20:43:39.936-07:002009-09-07T20:43:39.936-07:00I love ghostbusters... thanks for your visit...I love ghostbusters... thanks for your visit...Luluhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05279703127672479640noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31552114.post-35731677032251313362009-09-07T09:31:51.637-07:002009-09-07T09:31:51.637-07:00Hahaha!

You're right about Penelope Cruz stealing the show and Javier Bardem IS rather nice to look at. ;)<br />I actually watched this on the plane when we went to Canada last winter, and it was a nice distraction.
