The theater in boulder of pearl plays it on the big screen every now and then... I hate boulder but it is fun to go to. You get a discount on white russians if you go dressed up as The Dude.

Ya, they are good. They don't produce the realism (which seems to be difficult for Hollywood for some weird reason) that MM does. Obviously, this is conditional on the movie type, but I just detest 30 round revolvers, etc.

Bladerunner would be 6th on my list.

Field of Dreams is my all time favorite film.

I visited the field in Iowa last summer, a very surreal experience.

I grew up not far from Dyersville. And we went there at least once or twice a year for "field trips" all throughout grade school. I assume you went to the Ertl store as well?

No, I actually made a dedicated trip to the FoD while on a trip- just wanted to be there.

I know it sounds stupid, but it was important to me to go visit.

Not stupid at all. Im glad you enjoyed it. Its like when I moved to Colorado I was amazed at the mountains and sat on my deck every night looking at them in awe for the first year or so I lived here. Now I rarely notice them.[Beer]

Just finished watching Brooklyn's Finest. Wasn't a terrible movie, but I'm glad I didn't have to pay to see it.
